Japan

Defence looks toward Japan for help. Two high risk projects for Australia: the F-35 and submarines.

At least Japan had some sense and went with a U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) deal with the Just So Failed. Not that this will help defend their, or our, skies much.

With the DMO having their grubby hands involved wrangling the rent-seekers, how can it go wrong?

Labor has shown their gross incompetence dealing with Defence. The return of the other party next year offers no solutions either. Both think money is the problem and, other than platitude and more bad decisions, offer no clear way of removing the dead wood, or improving management competence.
