Yeah you know there's a small army of News Ltd reporters that are waiting for Labor to announce their policies and candidates so they can denigrate them relentlessly to provide relief for Scott, while simultaneously telling us that Labor "just isn't cutting through"...

I agree the media tend to ignore Albo, but it is his job to get noticed and his complete inability to deliver a line is less than unhelpful.

how and when will Australia and the world be safer?
how is the deal with the US and UK better than the French deal? (Genuine question, I don't know the details of either contract)
it'll take longer to get these new US or UK subs operational (it still hasn't been decided who will build the subs or where they'll be built), so i hope our rusty old fleet will keep the world safe in the meantime.
The following quote from an article in The Diplomat seems to sum it up:
The prospective AUKUS SSNs therefore come without “any estimated cost (except they’ll be more expensive than the French ones), precise timetable (except they won’t be available for a couple of decades), or firm indication of how much building will be done in Australia (except that it won’t be all of it and possibly only a modest amount).”
The AUKUS Nuclear Submarine Deal: Unanswered Questions for Australia
From specific details of the submarines to the larger implications for Australia’s military and regional strategy, there are lots of question marks.

Maybe just going with the French Nuclear sub in the first place would have been the better deal
Nobody really knew much about Scotty when he won, but a lot of weird stuff was going on around their campaign.
Clive Palmer for one. The lies about Labor introducing Death Taxes. Gladys Lius confusing signage in a very tight electorate. etc etc ...
Can't see it just yet. It won't happen unless News Ltd agree, and then we'll see a few days of positive press about the likely new leader and more press about ScoMo's failings.
There isn't even a plan on how and when they will be built, what Australia needs to support nuclear powered subs and many other details and that assessment and report is going to take 18 months.
The other thing is we have no idea what it is all going to cost
Apart from that there isn't much wrong with it ......
Abbott, Morrison and then Dutton? How far this country has fallen if that is all we can produce
makes me wonder what is actually going on with this deal ...
as Foreign Minister Payne heads off on a please explain mission to S/E Asia ...
Get ready for Tim Smith PM
“Senior Victorian Liberals have confirmed that Mr Frydenberg is leading a group of federal Coalition MPs, including Michael Sukkar, Greg Hunt and Alan Tudge, backing Mr Smith in defiance of … Matthew Guy’s insistence he has no future in state politics.”
The more the ALP sits on their hands doing nothing the closer they get to Government
yep, this.
we are currently enduring the most anti-intellectual period in our political history. Labor fully realizes that saying nothing at all of substance until a few weeks before the election is the safest route.
meanwhile, the coalition will eventually find that no amount of self-serving corruption or double-speak can save them from the people.
the problem for our current government is that Australia is still a robust democracy (despite the lamentable state of our media) and the AEC remains inviolate.
Well there is good old Barnaby if your looking that far down the barrel.
Not true at all. Clive Palmer handed it to him with a massive $50m Media Campaign aimed to get him approval for a mine he wanted. He delivered & so did ScuMo.
Pretty sure Fullofbull back doored Yabbott n Fullofbull was the *smile* imbecile that bought the froggy subs and then asked for them to be totally redesigned in the first place. Absolutely deserved a fearsome back dooring.
Standard of politicians n political parties in this country the last twenty years or more is bloody pathetic, the whole lot of em should be stacked in a corner n nuked.
