Dick Smith questions submarine project, says plans are 'ludicrous' and 'we're being conned'

Now Miniscule Chester recently thanked Dick for his passion for aviation, so hopefully he will thank Dick for his interest in Submarines too?
You see Dick has great business sense. But he can also spot a lemon at 1000 yards while wearing a blindfold. Me thinks that Dick can see some of his hard paid tax money being pissed away on another Submarine fiasco, oh so reminiscent of the Collins Sub debacle, and pretty much anything that Defence puts it's hands on. I wonder if the $50b contract has the standard 10% variations cost added in that figure? No matter, it will blow out, no doubt about it. It's only money, just add it to the AUS $400b deficit that is climbing. But the main thing is that somebody will benefit handsomely from the deal. Who? Well, too many to mention, but rest assured the long suffering taxpayer won't be one of the beneficiaries! But don't worry, the company, DCNS, will do ok. And so will it's 35% owner - Thales!! Wow, these guys sure have a lot of fingers in a lot of pies. They are assisting Electric Blue to the tune of $1.5b, not to mention other contracts past, present and future. What do you say Malcolm, do you like pie? Well I'm sure you do as Goldman Sachs employees always get to dine on tasty pies, just look at Malcolm's oven it is overfilling with $200m worth of pies.
You gotta love the military industrialist complex, it may have originated with Uncle Sam but it is alive and well down under!
FOOTNOTE:
A project of this magnitude required lots of 'advisors' and 'consultants'. I wonder if Houstoblame with all his 'practical experience', project successes and spiffy white uniform, will be called upon to 'consult'?
Just musing..........
