New chair for Defence SA advisory board

13 Feb 2014

Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston AC AFC is the new chair of the Defence SA Advisory Board. Premier Jay Weatherill said Air Chief Marshal Houston replaced former chair General Peter Cosgrove AC MC who has resigned and taken up the position of Governor General.

Currently, with 3 auto companies leaving Australia, the Soviet Model Defence Industry will have to pick up the slack. This could be up to $27B in future rent-seeking for South Australia...

...if only there were not so many other show-stopping fed budget woes for an entitlement society.

Some previous Houston history:

In 2002, the then Air Vice-Marshall Houston stated that the F-35 would be affordable because there were 3000 jets on the order-book.

No such "order-book" existed.
