The Australian government has long wanted to replace its ageing fleet of Collins Class submarines.abc.net.au/news/aukus-defence-talks-explainer/102079030We are on the brink of what's been touted as one of the most significant decisions in South Australia's recent history.
So, what do you need to know ahead of that decision? And why is this so important for South Australia?In September 2021, Scott Morrison, Joe Biden and Boris Johnson combined to cause quite a shock — announcing aA couple of the leaders have changed since then, but the core of the agreement remains the same — Australia will gain access to American and British nuclear secrets to get a new fleet of submarines in the water.
Canberra has long wanted to replace its ageing fleet of Collins Class submarines, but building high-tech naval vessels is a long and expensive process.Mr Biden and Mr Albanese's meeting with Rishi Sunak in Southern California should answer the question of what happens in the interim with Australia's fleet.The defence sector is absolutely vital for South Australia, employing around 15,000 people.
There will be a payroll officer there, actual work? None? Or just project officer and nothing will be done onshore
Yeah great .. waste of billions of dollars so we can build ships in SA.. smart choice
It will mean more lies by politicians, that turn out to give no one in Australia any jobs. This is just Australia boosting the US and UK economies at the cost of our own. Again.
I don't know much about shipbuilding, except it's got to have a long term element. I've seen the numbers from the banks. Anything beyond next week DOES NOT MATTER.
Nothing. Buy from US and use.
Over priced? Over time? Over budget and faulty?

So we’re buying two types of nuclear subs?!? How will we build two different types
Guess the shipyards will now be declared a sacred site by the voice.
It may mean lots of overpaid, underperforming people, guaranteed jobs for the rest of their lives.
what will the SA Indigenous Voice have to say about it, has anybody asked their permission to build a war ship at their docks, what if they want compensation for agreeing with it?
US will never share it's secrets, so it will mean either nothing for South Australia's shipbuilding industry or even worse... cutting it further
Hey ABC News Radio, playing a BBC report about the BBC disciplining Gary Lineker is not impartial news. You don't carry RT reports about the war in Ukraine. Please get your own reporter to do a report, or some other independent news organisation. The BBC is compromised.
You have Third world subs here now, the yankee subs will never get here anyway.
Question, seeing as they are perfectly round, what stops them from just rolling over and over? Also, why have they got a big blunt nose instead of a sharp pointy one?
What it means is that China will bomb Adelaide first.
Will need to fire up a coal-fired power station or 2 or there won't be a shipbuilding industry.
About 2/10ths of 3/5ths of SFA. America will cite skills official secrets and senate elections as reasons not to build in Australia.
