However, the Minister for Defence David Johnston wants to build our multibillion-dollar submarines in Japan.
We have in this country a purpose-built submarine factory in Adelaide, we have some of the best tradesmen and engineers in the world but let’s send all this money overseas.
Imagine what this money could do to stimulate our economy.
How about we think about Australia and the people who live here.
It seems to me that our own government, and I am not just talking about the Abbott government here, I am talking about government in general, doesn’t have the confidence or backbone to back our own industries.
In the past couple of years I have seen contracts go overseas where they could have been done by Australian companies, to build Australia’s economy.
Yes, we may not be cheaper but at the very least we would be employing Australians.
Isn’t it time we all got aboard and started to really support Team Australia.
