The Morrison government is ‘sinking’ the AUKUS submarine deal
The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says he believes the Morrison government is “sinking” the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal.
Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin the submarines will not be ready “in a relevant timeframe” if the government tries to have them built in Adelaide.
“This is a science fiction commitment from the Morrison government,” he said.
“And the awkward and disobliging comments of the Biden administration look to me as though the Morrison government hasn’t got all its ducks in a row.
“The Morrison government has absolutely no communication strategy on this. The only information any of us can get are titbits which come out of Senate Estimates.
“So, the government’s communication strategy is that occasionally a cornered admiral in an Estimates committee will admit that we’re not going to get a nuclear sub before 2040 at the earliest.”
