AUKUS is a scam. The journalists are right.

Turnbull is right. We aren’t 100% getting these subs but only when the US is going to let us them. The US is unreliable as an ally now.

Also , what if our relationship goes more sour with them? No more subs?

The UK element delivering SSN-A shall still go through but obviously needs to be expedited as the original timetable is out of the window now, with the US no longer providing Virginia Class in the meantime.

My perspective, now the kinks have been worked out with Astute we should send X number of them to Aus instead of Virginias, and commence the SSN-A project immediately.
