1. A fleet of fully imported Virginia class subs at a cost of $50 billion; or
2. The Australian made artisan Pahn Class submarines at a cost of $90 billion?

The Virginia Class would be half that and the frog junk twice and obsolete by 2030. A good site on the sub debacle and defence needs for Australia is:

A good overview of this shit:

Moylan to his shame defended the frog subs. I wonder what he’ll say now.
From the “Australian.”
A China containment alliance without Japan is bizarre. This period of existential threat is a good time for Japan to dump Macarthur’s imposed constitution. The world has moved on and the mood for Japan to hide behind the constitution to avoid taking up their global citizen responsibilities does appear to be on the wane particularly as the Boomer generation of political operatives are dying out.
..
Why are you asking me that? The answer is obvious.
As is the fact that Australia will find a way to fuck up the Virginias.
UKUSA unfortunately sounds a bit like the Japanese word for their local Mafia.
Quick as a flash, our nuclear subs we haven’t got yet have been banned from NZ waters:
Australian nuclear-powered submarines will be banned from entering New Zealand’s waters, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has confirmed.

– the Virginias are replacing the Los Angeles class is my understanding. They are bigger and a bit longer but have less crew: 135 vs 143.
This section pretty much puts the kibosh on a target of 12 boats. Twice as many subs, with twice the crew, and a completely new technology? We seem to have sufficient trouble with crewing the Collins. Fewer boats to start with, building up to double crewing, then more boats, perhaps?
Hasten slowly, one major accident, even a grounding, with inexperienced crews would end the project. The first five years would be crucial, don’t try to doo too much in that time.

General Mark Milley is as off his head as General Jack Ripper (brilliantly portrayed by Sterling Hayden) in Doctor Strangelove. He is what happens when military leadership redundancy systems fail.
I always chuckle at Mark Steyn’s “pop culture” description of him: “Thoroughly Modern Milley”.
Great.
Now if China invades New Zealand we can sit on our hands.
..
That is not a change of policy.
New Zealand has been a nuclear free zone since David Lange.
Both propulsion and any vessel which won’t confirm it has no nuclear weapons aboard.
New Zealanders don’t look at nukes the way Australians do. They took the Rainbow Warrior thing very, very personally.
They’re quite happy to be under the protection of ANZUS (at least they were) but not to participate in the dirty aspects.
If we go to war with UnZud then we will ignore the ban, and otherwise we won’t want to go there.
My hope too.
Ideally, loudly shelving a civil nuclear industry is just a political sop by Morrison to stop the ALP having to scream blue murder from every orifice.
Sorry, Jacinta, when the Chunks decide to occupy NZ to cut Australia off from the United States, you’ll just have to make the best terms you can get..
“Thoroughly Modern Milley”
haha I like that- what a dirty stink and there are a lot like that in the military. Love of country doesn’t even figure in their minds- look at some examples here in Oz- Kelly, that twerp who was in ‘intelligence’ who dressed up as a Nasty and McClown.
Barrie Cassidy wants to know what the scrapping of the French submarine deal will cost.
Always funny when the Left suddenly becomes concerned about government spending.
I was wondering who that mouthy germalist was who was lecturing the fat bastard. They are creeps of the first order.
I’m late to the party this morning. Fat Clive may very well not be the answer but, as of today, he and Kelly are the only two voices being heard addressing the question.
I hope they realise ANZUS is now effectively redundant.
Who would want to go in a sub named after Los Angeles these days. It would bring to mind turds all over the floor and consoles, homeless people sleeping all through the passage ways and common areas, used needles sticking out from behind chairs and between blankets, and underfoot of course, and being robbed at gunpoint in the galley.
Except the Captain’s and other senior personnel will have immaculate cabins with guards to keep out lower ranks, and illegal Mexicans manicuring the paint and housekeeping.
the best strategy was and still is herd immunity, not filling the coffers of big pharma
If UAP got in, and Fat Bastard made himself a nuisance, forgetting for a moment that he has the purse strings, would it be possible to eject him from the party? Or everyone else leave him en masse and form a new one to get out of his clutches?
Normal humans doing normal things catching colds, getting, better living life, is infinitely better than state mandated shit corpratocracy chemical shit that lasts 30 seconds.
I don’t begrudge NZ their stance so much, considering Australia’s defence policy has largely been to neglect maintaining military effectiveness and instead play at social justice games, but expect the US to immediately come to our rescue if anything happens.
What NZ might be seeming to be saying to us is the sort of thing we have been saying to the US for a long time.

Because evil can never be dead enough
Apparently Karl Marx was a surfer. Or Lenin. Not sure which but one of them was a surfer. Trotsky?
Why surfing is an antidote to the relentless march of capitalism (Phys.org, 15 Sep)
Not exactly sure what that means, but after a few bongs and some waves it will become clearer.
Because President Trump didn’t give them a State Dinner
May be not that strange.
Donald Trump spent his life working with builders, movers & shakers at all levels (why do so many forget about all those ‘Top End Ground Dwellers’), around the world, people who knew why the world was shit (having to swim through seas of shit to get anything worthwhile done), and genuinely wanting to make the world less shit.
He also had an exceptional record from Military College where though he excelled in leadership he was barely remembered because he was not a braggart but helped other make the most of themselves and would not abide bullying of the young & weak.
He also has more than a couple of languages he can listen to understandingly.
He did such a good job of mixing & mingling amongst the good & bad of many key Nations & power blocks that he managed to shoulder through the gates that were supposed to only let Hillary into the POTUS chair.
From there he managed to pull off many much needed ‘impossibilities’ even that great miracle of bringing Peace To The Middle East.
This drew out yet more enemies from within, desperate not to go down with him when all rules were thrown to winds in order to reinstall the the long standing Dictatorship that then promptly rushed to undo all Trump’s good works, especially making the Middle East a Waring Hell Hole again.
Now people forget that The Dictatorship tried to disqualify & remove Trump from the get go, yet he lasted out his term and is arguably more loved now than during his peak as sitting POTUS and still holds Trusted Friend Status with countless known & unknown Global movers & shakers.
Another thing people forget is that Xi is hated amongst Chinese Communist Party Members for his solid record of being Anti-Corruption, yet he remains Leader and now he is drawing China back into itself, & going hard against Western Wokeness, something the majority sane Westerners are also desperate to do away with.
As to ‘China’s’ ‘Social Credit’ system, again, it was Western Traitors who sold them all the technology with the intention of China bug testing it before it’s Global implementation.
Anyway, back to Trump; he’s now got all his old allies (minus a few tested harder & found wanting during his sitting Presidency), plus others further tested & made while siting POTUS, and he also has a greater security network and insights into way above top secret intelligence that he never had before he smashed the Dictatorship the first time.
He smashed it so hard that on top of M.E. Peace, he rallied, sent & led a massive 22 Nation Force to Central & South America to tackle the problem of fentanyl & other drugs used by the Cartels, Chinese Mafia, “Others”*cough* Frankie Baby & Co.*cough*, and the rest, to cripple once sound Nations.
Truth is the first casualty in War, but strategic deception not only wrong foots the enemy but also flushes out enemies within which means The Good Guys also Have To Lie, Convincingly.
In this, no doubt greatest of World Wars, when micro drones and other new tools of war we know about are but toys compared to the next generation technologies only few are privy to, nothing played out in public media can be taken at face value, yet there is still a need to have some things made known, that will keep up the morale of those being asked to take great risks (even to being recorded by history as traitors rather than heroes who will only be known to God), lest they grow weary of keeping the faith just when their heroics are most needed.
Malcolm Turnbull didn’t even have Donald Trump’s number to call & congratulate him for becoming POTUS.
Turnbull then got dumped and POTUS Trump gave Prime Minister Morrison a State Dinner.
Now Crazy Bad Biden did a Turnbull & forgot PM Morrison’s name when announcing one of Team Trump’s greatest accomplishments.
… and anyone who thinks this AUSUK deal was just cobbled together under Biden or even the work of Obama, Hillary & Co., should think again, deeply …
P.S. this Aussie Nuke Subs announcement is also the first time I’ve read mention of the deep sea technologies I wrote about very many years ago.

To my knowledge the USA doesn’t have any sub facilities in the region so I think part of the benefit is because it allows the subs to move into to the Indian Ocean and blockade Chinese shipping from Africa and the M.E. without having to traverse through potentially Chinese controlled waters. It would also allow for supporting India because there are reports Chinese ships and subs have been mapping the Indian ocean floor. So I’m not sure if this so much about Australia obtaining the subs as it is allowing the USA to have another facility to further encircle China.
If “strategic autonomy” means, among other things, that the Europeans will finally pay for their own defence I think we can chalk this up as a massive strategic victory for Biden on two fronts.

Top Ender:
Your suggestion to build #9 – 12 in Australia would be worthwhile only if a new manufacturing complex and port were to be manned and maintained semi remote to a major city, notwithstanding a small city will arise around it. Most importantly, it must be free of Union activity and influence, and have that immunity guaranteed for ever.
No more of the dock wukkas destrying fighter aircraft from the US because they weren’t allowed to plunder ships stores, no more stealing radio equipment leading to the loss of a squadron of US aircraft and their pilots, no more kitbags slashed open and looted, and no more tanks destined for a combat zone having essential tools being lifted.
The treason on the docks must be stopped and there is too much opportunity for these practices to cost us the lives of our submariners.
“Faulty Welds R Us” for a slab of beer is our motto.
I was wondering about that myself. It is not just the berthing of the ships but also the servicing of subs. Strategically it makes a lot of sense, especially given China has a naval port facility in Pakistan and some military facilities in Africa. Given various warnings about war with China in the next decade I can’t see how we will acquire the subs in time to be of benefit.

Vale Cyril Barwick (Ncl local news, 16 Sep)
Here is a story about Cyril’s WW2 service:
He was still fighting the Japanese in late 1945 and lived to be 104. I dips my hat, sir.
I think we can give Joe a pass on this.
He’s simultaneously shown Xi we won’t be pushed around and prompted the Europeans to take another step down the road of looking to their own defence and paying for it.
The Anglosphere is not dead yet.
A slip of memory from a septuagenerian is small beer in context.
Of themselves, dementia Joe’s mistakes are no big deal.
That he is there at all is frightening.
Classic leftie bullshit and hypocrisy from the chunks:
Beijing has slammed a new US alliance with Australia and Britain, under which Canberra will acquire nuclear submarine technology, as an “extremely irresponsible” threat to regional stability.
The agreement “seriously undermines regional peace and stability and intensifies the arms race”, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a regular press briefing.
Oh fuck off.
Indeed; but it’s not going to be all bad.
Whatever is good we can be thankful for.
And nuclear subs -and all that they entail, which I expect will be unfolded slowly – are good!
Only the ABC would take that seriously.
Fucking wallopers:
“SINCE the age of 14, Wayne McLennan’s pocket knife has barely left his hip, and until the age of 74 the trusty farming tool never got him into any trouble.
But because of the pocket knife, Mr McLennan was recently charged by Chinchilla police and fined for the crime of carrying a dangerous weapon in public.”

Something to thank Orange Man for.
He put it squarely on the agenda that it was OK to tell the Euros to pay their own way on defence.
I mean, seriously?
The USA doing the heavy lifting on NATO 75 years after WW2 ended?
Frogs are hopping mad over being dudded on the subs.
Here’s a tip.
Treating us as being hog-tied by the Pahn-Trumble folly and ratcheting up the price by $2 bn a month was always going to end in tears.
Huge, if true. I wonder if the media will both to mention it.

A question, perhaps for Top Ender.
Could these subs be “fitted for, but not with” nuclear weapons?
Perhaps with one eye on a quick conversion if required in the future.
I’ll bet that if the yellow peril crossed the Murray and was marching on Brunswick, even Adam Bandit might consider that dropping a couple of nukes on some Chinese cities could be an option.
This would concern them. If you look at the map, their access to deep water is very restricted, which means sub warfare lying in waiting could destroy their navy. Their next possible way to attack us would be through intercontinental missiles.
So Dan has mandated jabs for construction workers by 23rd Sept, or they are not able to work.
How do we get out of this? We have NO choice now? What if we have no choice but to work?
The simple way out for them ALL to simply stop working. I think Darling Dan might then have second thoughts. Actually, this is what is happening around America, nurses here, police there. They all have heft if they stick together.
Huge, if true.
Indeed.
You know, 25 million vs 1.2 billion doesn’t sound good for the smaller number… us. However, having a serious sub fleet and ICBMs that would hit Chinese cities and those fuckers are toast. Hit that Gorges Dam and 300 to 400 million of the fuckers are dead with a good swag of arable land flooded. Then hit the big cities.The sub would choke off access to deep water.
Australia wouldn’t have to lose a war with China. We could stalemate the fuckers which would be like winning.

Excellent news on the subs.
It has avoided what would have been the biggest debacle in Defence Procurement.
The contract will have ‘Termination for Convenience’ clauses which should read something like ‘audited costs plus 10%’
The negotiations over the costs incurred will keep lawyers and accountants busy for the next 5 years.
Roger at 6:31.
Bigly.
It amuses me that people who thought nothing of throwing away 400+ billion on lockdowns are now worried about the cost of nuclear submarines.
LOL.. so, so true.
Oooh JC, I thought I was the only one with such evil thoughts re Three Gorges Dam. I reckon China is in a world of trouble internally, but that’s no reason to treat them nicely on the world stage.
It also amuses me that visiting US nuclear powered aircraft carriers are OK to dock in Woolloomooloo but our own nuclear submarines are not OK at Garden Island.
I believe the relevant union(s) have come out against him.
In QLD if a Labor Premier loses the confidence of the unions she’s in serious trouble.
What pertains in Victoria?
And there was Barrie Cassidy today twittering his frets about the cost of exiting the French contract.
Bill Gates is looking forward for his next pandemic, with plans for new mRNA vaccines (to be mass produced in India) designed to change other aspects of our genetic makeup.
Soon real humans won‘t exist at all!
Klaus Schwab has been mouthing off for years about transhumanism, combining people and machines, sounding like the absolute lunatic he is. It seems they’re really trying to accomplish that.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, finally, will change not only what we do but also who we are. It will affect our identity and all the issues associated with it: our sense of privacy, our notions of ownership, our consumption patterns, the time we devote to work and leisure and how we develop our careers, cultivate our skills, meet people and nurture relationships. It is already changing our health and leading to a “quantified” self, and sooner than we think it may lead to human augmentation. The list is endless because it is bound only by our imagination.
Did you get that? Human augmentation. I can hardly wait.
Their next possible way to attack us would be through intercontinental missiles.
Or continuing to immigrate and swamp us with numbers plus buying up all our infrastructure.
Indolent, from what I read nurses in the US are walking off the job rather than be vaccinated and putting hospitals in a bind. Here in Sydney it’s the isolation of all nursing staff who came into contact with Covid patients taking too many of them away from work which is leaving hospitals short staffed and unable to function normally.
I wonder how many NSW nurses are not vaccinated and slowing everything down even more.
Feelthebern:
Yes.
It reminded me a claim in a book by a British Captain that Churchill et al were quite aware of what was going on. The Captain of a ship that was ferrying PoWs back to Yugoslavia reported his ship having to plough through a carpet of bodies as the Yugoslav Partisans were slaughtering every one as they were dragged off the ship. This included entire families brought to the port from the interior. Apparently the officers were killing their wives and children because they were aware of their fate
Andrew Bolt is interviewing Annalise Nielsen, that vapid twit they sent to report from Washington. I had to change channel, anything is better than that even the cartoon channel.
Brushtail possum arrives with kid. He’s male and bulletproof.
Mum gets a piece of bread and kid gets a small bit all for himself. Which he grabs with both paws like it’s the best thing in the universe. I disengage fingers before they get eaten too, and turn to go inside. This panics kid, so he drops his bit of bread and scarpers up the camellia. So I go inside and get another small bit of bread and wait…cautiously he comes back down and grabs the next best thing in the universe. I disengage fingers, again, and go back inside.
Come out again some minutes later with a carrot. Carrots are the best things in the universe. Break the end off for kid and give most of it to mum, who is happily having dinner quietly whilst being erratically orbited by an elemental source of chaos.
Kid appears. Having eaten his replacement bit of bread he’s gone down and found the first bit he’d dropped. Neat trick, I feel scammed. He goes up to the roof and eats it like a starving hyena, then a short time later returns to see what mum is loudly chomping on: a carrot, the best thing in the universe.
I then wave the bit of carrot I’d kept in front of him. Gets his attention. Carrot!! Grabs it. Wow all for me! I must take this to someplace safe!
I say to kid (yes I did say this): “try not to drop it this ti…”
Kid at this point leaps for another branch with awesome bit of carrot, misses the branch, falls half a metre, catches the next branch down by the tips of his fingernails…and drops carrot lump.
Chaos truly is a young male brushtail possum kiddie. I go inside, close the door and let him work out about this thing called gravity.
“Andrew Bolt is interviewing Annalise Nielsen, that vapid twit they sent to report from Washington. I had to change channel, anything is better than that even the cartoon channel.”
I turned the volume down…..she’s such a dunce. However she doesn’t offend me as much as Sheridan the Derro…..whom Credlin had on to opine about the sub deal….last night Sheridan the Derro was speaking up for Milley.
Something hinky is happening in property development.
Correction. Alan Moran’s ad about alarmism to appear in the Australian is tomorrow week.

FMD – an old bloke with a pocket knife on his belt getting charged by woke insipid plod.
Fucking disgusting,
As a kid, everyone carried a pocket knife. No flash pouches to strap on your belt though. It just went in your kick.
This country is fucked and if the magistrate doesn’t dismiss the charge fires should be lit.
That may well be the case.

Lehman Brothers’ debt was roughly twice as big as Evergrande’s, although given the opaque nature of Chinese companies they may in reality turn out to be similar in size, once the dust settles. Lehman Brothers’ collapse caused the GFC. Oops.

The issue with the Three Gorgeous Dams is that while they would inundate a bloody big slice of Chinerrs croplands, it will also damage the lower reaches of the river system.
Cassie yes, Sheridan was awful last night. It seems Trump is/was terrible and therefore anything anyone around him does, no matter how egregious, must be excused. Trump made Milley betray his country to the communist Chinese.
Lately Australian prime ministers really don’t have much luck with American presidents. First Trump called Malcolm Michael Trumble and now Biden completely forgot Morrison’s name. Trump’s misnomer was probably on purpose, somebody must have told him Turnbull hates him. Biden forgetting is real dementia.
the main reason we could not just junk the paper diesel version and just go with the barracuda is that it would be impossible to include France in the alliance. Just think of the acronym
AFUKUS
Sancho, from memory the Tomahawk missile which any subs would use can be fitted with a nuclear warhead.
