Same amount of anything we fired - zero.1/How many missiles do we now fire per year.
2/Will the factory need overhauling once the F35s are obsolete and those missiles become obsolete.
3/Where do we get rockets now?
4/Will a future government sell these rockets to a foreign force to be used against civilians.
5/will this just be an American factory for the US regime?
So many questions and nobody to answer or take responsibility for future actions that may come from these rockets.
Still it's work for Newcastle kids I spose.
Why can't they work on Australian designs for Australian requirements? All those minds, all those skills - they could be a part of a real homegrown industry where we build our own stuff from scratch.you’ve been sooking about this deal since in was announced because you reckon we don’t need it , and i just gave you a clue about the 3000 jobs because of the Aukus deal and that’s one facility , so i did address that point it was in the post you obviously didn’t read.

Gareth Evans: AUKUS is terrible for Australian national interests – but we’re probably stuck with it
Australia’s no-holds-barred embrace of AUKUS is more likely than not to prove one of the worst defence and foreign policy decisions our country has made.theconversation.com
Playing politics for what purpose?Gareth is just still playing politics... who cares what he thinks.

Given Morrison committed Australia to a $400-500B sub program as part of a pre-election brain fart, it kinda makes sense that the ADF ends up with so many disaster programs.You care, hence your comment. You’re just upset that it doesn’t align with your simplistic reasoning and narrative.
You don’t seem to understand what politics is and that the AUKUS deal, announced by Scott Morrison via a press conference in the middle of the night prior to an election without proper discussion or debate of the costs, consequences and implications was all about politics. ‘wedge politics’ to use the precise term.
As was the decision, again without proper discussion and debate, of Anthony Albanese to give unquestioned support to the deal during an election campaign.
Listening to different perspectives on a decision that will have major long term strategic, security , economic and financial implications for current and future generations is what makes good politics and sound policy.
Knock me over with a feather that you don”t like it.
Including the unmitigated financial and strategic disaster of the ditched French submarine project which Morrison himself signed up to only to walk away from it, with a $3.4 billion cost for Australian taxpayers leaving a huge gap in our nations defensive capabity.Given Morrison committed Australia to a $400-500B sub program as part of a pre-election brain fart, it kinda makes sense that the ADF ends up with so many disaster programs.

Labor man through and through.Playing politics for what purpose?
And? He has been retired from federal politics for 25 years and I doubt he is planning on another stint.Labor man through and through.

There is a research industry in Australia which does this stuff, but not a lot of it makes it into world-wide mass production which works, and fits, on a lot of NATO equipment.Why can't they work on Australian designs for Australian requirements? All those minds, all those skills - they could be a part of a real homegrown industry where we build our own stuff from scratch.
We'd have the brains to do it. We'd have the skilled workforce. Why not?
Gina really wants to be Australia's ElonMining magnate and pastoralist Gina Rinehart has urged the government to “drill, baby, drill and dig, baby, dig” and use the proceeds to massively upgrade defence, including with an Israeli-style “iron dome” missile deflection system.

“You may ask, how are we going to pay for this? Simple: we should cut government wastage – and there’s a lot of that – and we should drill, baby, drill and dig, baby, dig,” she said.
She called for the abolition of fuel excise, payroll tax, licence fees and stamp duty.
“Wouldn’t that help the cost of living?” she said.
