France seems to be very upset about thispact, but hey you should be joyful as the Europeans were when they heard Reagan saya there is no problem firing the short range nuclear missiles at Russia from Europe once they are there.
The French project was plagued with problems. They got 2 billion from the allocated 90 billion. But there maybe a few hundred million in contractual fines.
I’m sure DNSS are very upset but that’s business.
On a bilateral level, Australia and France have a great friendship and alliance. I knew Australia was looking for an out because they regretted not going down the nuclear path. These nuclear submarines will be better, more capable and more potent and still cost less.
As for France, Macron and Morrison are believed to be good friends. As in friends on a personal level. France has always been good to Australia the last few years. Macron has been instrumental in getting Australia Associate membership into NATO. He always made a point of personally inviting Sustralia to all security summits.
That won’t change as there is a defence pact where the Australian Navy is tasked with patrolling French EEZ interests and also French Territorial Seas in the Pacific. Sometimes with other French Navy ships but most of the time unilaterally as France might not have assets in the Pacific.
So basically, France is using Australian Naval presence in the Pacific to protect French interests.
I do not like the fact that France may be hard done by. We, Australia as a country do not want to harm or disadvantage France which is considered an extremely important ally and friend.
But Australia has to do the right thing for itself and IPT for the best submarine solution which will provide Australua with the best outcomes and capability and there is no doubt that this deal with the US and UK does that, propelling our wonderful country into the nuclear age and sending the strongest possible message to Chy-na and other billigerants around the world, such as North Korea and Iran.
There will be other spin offs with this nuclear industry as well, such as Nuclear Fusion Energy bringing our emissions down to nett zero very quickly.
Don’t understand the greenies to be honest. Not many people do. But they are funny as I said and provided great entertainment for Australian families. They are kind of our version of Benny Hill.
