The primary issue is we've now pissed away an enormous amount of time and yet the previous Government was implying that a 2040 delivery time wouldn't have any impact on the current operation capacity of the Collins Class subs which will be circa 45 years old by then. They said this with a straight face too.
So we'll buy them in. And piss away yet more local manufacturing knowledge and expertise at a time when those skillsets are arguably more valuable than ever, especially in defence. Except we can't because the UK and USA don't have the capacity to build them for us.
TL/DR: this may actually exceed the Hawaiian holiday for the most offensive fuck up that untrustworthy **** Scomo hoisted on this nation during his "leadership."
