As far as UK shipbuilding is concerned, I think the British government at the time did a brilliant job conning Scott Morrison into agreeing to this because we're pouring billions and billions of Australian taxpayers' dollars
to support a British shipbuilding industry and submarine industrial base that cannot build submarines in any sort of timely fashion for the Royal Navy, can't maintain them.
Most of your submarine fleet, your SSNs can't go to sea.
You know, there's, I mean, you know, this is a big, big issue in UK circles.
It's this dreadful lack of investment
in the UK submarine industrial base that's got you into that situation.
By contrast, France is doing a much better job, I might say.
You know, I think, to be honest, I mean, Paul Keating, Alistair mentioned him, Paul summed it up really well.
When AUKUS was announced in San Diego, he said there are three leaders
at this jamboree in San Diego, but there's only one of them bringing the money.
And sadly, that's our bloke.
You know, that's, I'm afraid, where it is.
So I'm not sure what the answer is.
If I was the British Prime Minister, I'll tell you what I would do.
I would pick up the phone to Macron and I would say Britain and France should partner on the new French SSN, the Suffren class, which the French Navy is getting.
They're getting six of those.
They're being built.
They're being delivered.
They're a real thing.
Partner on those and then the Australians would come along with that as well.
