France may use European Union export laws to block the international distribution of coronavirus vaccines. Italy recently barred a shipment of AstraZeneca jabs to Australia, insisting it had a greater need for the doses. The French health minister said the government may decide to keep doses to speed up France's domestic rollout. "What do the French think they're up to," Mr Smith said.
"What a prime opportunity to rid ourselves of a fleet of French duds, in the form of those $90 billion submarines. It is just perfect," Mr Smith said. "If the French wish to ignore signed agreements on shipments of the vaccine, no real skin off our nose, let's tear up the sub agreement, which not too many Australians want, it's has been a cost blowout embarrassment, and will be redundant technology by the time they're built".
Sounds good in theory but so many LNP politicians and cronies are getting backhanders from this. It’ll never happen.
Corrupt South Australia....lol
And make the future of south Australia very unstable 🤔 we need these subs which will provide secure jobs for the next 50 years - young apprentices - graduates - engineers - etc... don’t kill our shipyards!
Welcome to my world Auss 💉🇪🇺👎
UigFae Barrow could maybe get the contract!
UigFae France took the UK's PPE mask order on March 6th 2020! They have form for breach of contract!
The eu is an arrogant monster! They accuse the UK of breaking international law, but they have no morals when it comes to looking after themselves!
Aussie media whipping up fear, now anger. Literally nothing to be worried about re COVID in Australia. Wouldn’t it be a nice gesture to say to France, “you guys need this more”? A bit of good will?
'Unpopular'? 'Duds'? Gee, I wonder who bought those things 🤔 ... and judging by your echoing silence on that particular bit I'd be guessing its your beloved Coalition? 🤣🤣🤣
YES
Hey Chris Smith, can you give me some of the shit you’ve been smoking?
Get over yourselves Australia, you're not all that
So pay the supplier billions and then tear up the contract.... Great plan
🇬🇧 makes some great submarines in Barrow BAES_Maritime ukmfg
What a neat idea. Tired of the old European countries treating us like toddlers.
Why does it have to be in retaliation? That's not necessary. Should terminate that contract regardless.
