Daily Telegraph Columnist Piers Akerman defended Peter Dutton’s controversial remarks about acquiring American submarines over British ones, arguing that the British submarines heavily rely on American components, making Dutton’s proposal “logical.”

“The question is, why would you go to a supplier who’s going to another

supplier? Why not go to the source?” Mr Akerman told Sky News host Sharri Markson.

Piers makes no sense. BAE make components for the US subs as well.

Personally, I'd go with the Brit boats, they require smaller crews and staffing is a problem the RAN has always historically faced.

Won't it be harder to get enough men to crew the bigger US boats? 155 for US Ohio class versus 100 for UK Astute class subs. Something to consider. I may be a dunce but Dutton's no expert either.

Murdoch media making $$$$$ out of mugs, don’t give a crap about accuracy or truth ….just sell to mugs $$$$$$)

Dutton's a clown, the US cannot supply enough boats to replace their ageing ones, the UK are in the same boat, pun intended because Dutton is a Pun 🤡🤪

I think the UK subs are great -hubby and other family members where on subs in Royal Navy for years yes nuclear power ones - amazing, - but maybe a mixture of them from UK or US or who can get them to us sooner, we need defense NOW

‘Mischievous’: Dutton slammed as ‘irresponsible’ for opposing British model AUKUS subsOpposition Leader Peter Dutton says Australia should not buy British submarines with an AUKUS announcement on nuclear-powered models expected in the coming weeks as Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy labels Mr Dutton's comments as “mischievous”. Mr Dutton said in a media conference, Australia should pursue the United States model as it provides “interoperability with the Americans” and there would be “more” US submarines in the Indo-Pacific than British ones. Mr Conroy said the Opposition Leader’s comments are “incredibly irresponsible” and he is “either being mischievous or is not privy to the latest information.” Agree but Labor has no idea Well they are dragging us into war and they need to keep the military industrial complex going...

White House sets 30-day deadline for purging TikTok from US government devicesIn a bid to keep American data safe, all US federal agencies must eliminate TikTok from their phones and systems and prohibit internet traffic from reaching the company, the White House says. We should ban government devices. The only way to save humanity is to shut up these corrupt puppets of foreign interest groups. Which foreign interest groups try to control us, WEF, WHO, UN and the BIS. Shame it’s not a 30 day deadline for purging the US government lol The CIA are desperate to ban TikTok because it contains thousands of innocuous happy videos posted by a Chinese ethnic group supposedly being wiped out by systematic genocide according to CIA-led mainstream media disinformation; video evidence contradictory to the media narrative
