The Liberals have a horrific history when it comes to military procurement. The country is still coming to grips with the SeaKing fiasco when they cancelled that program in the 93 election. And how about the submarines, how many active at sea days have these submarines seen?
When you campaign, as our PM did, on the premise that it would be a transparent procurement process but the F-35 would be excluded, one quickly realises this will just be another fiasco.
It's sad, our military deserve much better.
