There we go. Looks like French submarine maker managers are unable to handle it. So a glorious socialist Politico is taking over. Good luck Oooozstralia.

Japan had the sub deal all but signed and then blew it. There is a great article in the Japan Times (Sunday, May 1st) that outlines the conbination of arrogance, cowardliness and ignorance that led to the contract being awarded to France. Read it and gain a real understanding as to why Japan's economy is tanking.

Japan and Germany do not want to use Austral,ian facilities of its so called technicians. France promised it will be created in Australia. Maybe Japan and German don't want to think Aussie might not be able to pay money when completed or they don' want to share their technologies to Australia?
Soud France will create Sub in France. with France workers.

Aussie. wanted to create sub in Aussie. That is why technologically superior Germany lost. As for Japan, I'd bet J did not think Ausiebcan't pay. Whereever J goes, it does not forget profitability. Allso it maybget contractsss from USA that borrow money from China.
