Description: Some breaking news: a decision on Land 400 Phase 3 is imminent. Then we look at the Nuclear-powered submarine taskforce and the role of ex-Human Services departmental head Kathryn Campbell. We offer some guidance to the Prime Minister: review all of the advice that has come from that task force very, very carefully. Either you are being misled – or if you know the full facts then the Australian people are being misled, you can’t have it both ways. And a quick look at the situation in the US with the Virginia class submarine program. It’s turning into a maintenance nightmare with 18 of them currently either being worked on or tied up waiting for their turn. How do we know this? Because we have the words of RADM Jonathan Rucker, Program Executive Officer, Attack Submarines (PEO SSN). You see, in the US their citizens have the right to know what is happening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
