First of all, I will do you the courtsey of answering these charges with civility. I don't understand why this is in red, for what I would say is a badly worded sentence. It is not in the realm of malice or fantasy. I do appreciate that this is your forum and I'm just a guest. Therefore you can write in what ever colour you want. I appreciate the professional conduct of this forum so I respect your choices.
The post is about the man not politics. When Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, followed by home affairs he was a political fixer. He took the hard decisions and moved things forward. I believe he will do the same as defence minister. That is my opinion about the nature of the man not his poltics.
The message was an opinion with information fillers. That way I would not break the rule that you can't post single sentences.
He has form with subs and helicopters.
I'm guessing this sentence is what needs addressing or fixing
If I had wrote "During his time he has been decisive about helicopters and submarines". This is true and a number of articles would attribute the current decision to him. I treat members on this forum as intelligent and I don't want to bog it down with meaningless obvious information.
The second thing I appreciate members have put a lot of hard hours in to rectify the helicopter problems. To have the rug pulled out is upsetting. I can relate both in my current profession and when the RAAF retired the Orions. That was a piece of my youth slipping away. I have nothing but respect for those members and appreciation of the work they do.
What I was trying to say the MH90 has been a project of concern since 2011. The same information has been given to a number of Labour and Liberal defence ministers over that time. For whatever reason they chose collectivley to do nothing publicly. Dutton made a decision and that is reported in any number of publications as his decision. Again the man not politics. Attached is the current government report of the project and ministers statement.

The submarine decision was announced publically under his watch. I appreciate that negotiations went on before he was the minister.
Morrison has gone nuclear — and there's no turning back
The ABC post explains that.
Technically I supose I'm wrong because the initital announcement was by Biden, Johnson and Morrison. My point is it was announced publically during his watch.
The signing of the Exchange of Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information Agreement (the Agreement) with our AUKUS partners – the United Kingdom and the United States – is another important step in Australia’s pursuit of conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines.Minister for Defence the Hon...

This statement is 2 months after the announcement. Things are ticking along.
