Urgent legislation passed late last night ensure the new subs will be ready to torpedo COVID-19 by the early 2030s.
The nation’s politicians are exhausted this morning after meeting late into the evening to ensure that Australians have the French-designed attack class submarines they need to keep their heads above water in coming months.
The new legislation will add 12 new submarines to the 12 new submarines announced back in 2016, doubling the cost from $225 billion to $450 billion.
The new subs are expected to be immediately obsolete by the time they hit the water in the early 2030s, which is no surprise given the political geniuses behind the plan are already obsolete.
