If nuclear is ok for war lets use it for power

[Cobber]

You can triple the amount they’re claiming it’ll cost lol

[mosesgoldbergshekelstien]

We won’t see a single sub we are just paying tribute to our masters, we are a vassal state of US/UK

[sfacets]

Meanwhile families can't afford to pay their mortgage.

[dougcane]

Make no mistake - the US will use Australia as a nuclear shield to protect America - In a war with China, the US will fight to the last Australian - just like in it's war with Russia, the US is fighting to the last Ukranian.

[mickromer]

Tax payers still can't get our roads fixed 🤦

"How long are we supposed to participate in the plans made by the United States and sacrifice ourselves for their sake? I truly do not believe that the United States is acting in our best interest."

[youtuber]

how much is it to rent a room in one of these submarines?

[sheldonovski]

That type of warfare is surely outdated ? I’m sure a nuke button only cost $20 from repco

[juanvasquez]

For that much money we could just have nukes and get it over with.

[Archy]

Where did the Australian government pull that 300 billion from lol.

[MegaMrsuperawesome]

People forgetting that this was in place from the previous governments contracts.

[fenixhaven]

So the U.S and the Poms are gonna come and pay a visit to Australia every now and then. Then in 2030 we can purchase our own Nuclear Subs if the U.S senate approves. We just got a kick in the guts.

[MS-vlim]

Uncle Sam needs a fresh round of cash injection to rescue their financial industry.

[KaesOner]

Can i at least get this pothole on my road fixed?

[huatlam]

Over 100, 000 women in Australia are homeless or drifting about without a permanent home. 368 billion is money well spent indeed!

[ABC]

That's 14k per tax-paying citizen - for subs that have a planned delivery of "somewhere in the 2040s".

[Unclejohnfromaustralia]

I’m so glad that we Aussies are getting a shiny new submarine.
Honestly, I was hoping all those taxpayers money would go into building more houses or our deteriorating rail network, but submarines are really cool too, I guess?

[boristmh]

Mean while, everyone in Aus is struggling to pay for basic cost of living. People are losing their house left and right.
It is almost like this massive spike in the housing crisis and everything costing way more then it should is all pre planned of something...
It is almost like the Reserve Bank Of Australia is not struggling as much as they make out it is...

[lupingyan]

Even if giving 20 nuclear-powered submarines to Australia, Australia still doesn’t have a qualification to be a rival for China !
