[red750]

A large contract for military vehicles to be built next to Avalon Airport, now Australia to start building missiles, to be exported to the US.

Be better if you quoted your source for this.  IF we just take everything as read we won't get anywhere.   Nev

And this comes on top of the contract to build nuclear powered submarines in SA.

I doubt WE will ever build Nuclear powered subs of the American Kind  in  Australia.  Nev

WE shall see. .  Nev

South Australia will only be allowed to build the hull. Everything else - especially the nuclear reactors and the electronics and weapons systems - will be built in the U.S., and the South Australians will simply bolt it all in.

The Americans are not about to allow some bunch of hicks down in Kangarooland access to their high-tech systems design, or manufacturing secrets.

We can't be trusted with any of it - any good Yank worth his salt knows Australia is run by Left-wing pinko Govts, and Commie unions.

There's nothing like the advertising gurus such as Saatchi Milano, for grabbing your attention!

It has a "Conning" Tower. Nev

Fortunately, only boat handlers "conn". "Con artists" are a fish on another type of bicycle.

Here's something I amended across in a uk flyer forum..

 

Hmm... not sure what Labor is on.. Normally they are more resistive to US ownership over Aus

It does sound like another disaster brewing for our little banana Republic.
