I made the mistake of reading the comments to the story, unions unions unions, Labor mates, Labor mismanaging defence, Collins class submarines suck because there are never any more than five available etc etc etc.
Me thinks the "rent a comment" guide sheet today said blame the unions and Labor for the delay in the ships while the random Collins comments are just from the usual brain dead suspects who know nothing about defence.
Volk,
unions MUST take a fair bit of blame. They have pretty ruthless and demanding agendas, more so when the Libs are in power, they purposely WANT some industries to suffer when the libs are in, so they can get more onside for the next election.
For example, we are in an EBA at the moment, and some of the demands are embarresing, and will lead to out sourcing and for the first time in NT corrections, casuals. That will mean little or no OT for permanent employees.
In the long run, maybe not so long, its going to lead to privatisation of our industry, and that is BAD,.

and Katter make the most sense to me anyway in Australian politics.
Palmer demonstrating last week how much the Libs need PUP, and Labour self destructing in a crappy greens afair....our political parties are so busy fighting each other in a popularity contest, that we the people are suffering, and those we elect, on either side cant do their jobs.
