This is today’s GOP. They hate women.

Former RAN Adm Peter Briggs thinks we should switch AUKUS to getting the French SSN instead of US or UK. They are smaller, less powerful, but also cheaper, easier to build and crew, and can be realistically obtained in time. I agree. @abrgll.bsky.social

Australia is suffering a skills shortage, including in professional engineers. The number of Australian students trained in engineering has not increased in 10 years. I commend this Engineers Australia report, which looks at the causes. #auspol24

Talk about Australian's insanely expensive AUKUS SSNs has diverted attention from our other overcost naval project: Hunter frigates. French analysts have noticed. @davidshoebridge.bsky.social

€4bn per Hunter class frigate! What’s wrong with Australia?
The construction of the Hunter-class frigates has just received a second tranche of funding, announced by the Australian authorities. In accordance

Facilities for storage of any nuclear waste generated are a needed safety feature of any shipyard used for nuclear subs.
This is where RAN secrecy shoots itself in the foot. They haven't explained where long term storage will occur, so people assume the worst. #AUKUS

'It's madness': Residents just learned nuclear waste from AUKUS subs would be stored locally
The $368 billion AUKUS pact is promising to return submarine construction to Australia. But residents have just learned the deal also means nuclear waste will be stored on their doorstep.

Engineers Australia recently published my article on road tolling in Australia. I argue tolling is both inequitable and inefficient. We need to change our policy in this area.
