The federal government’s now cancelled $90 billion submarine contract with the French called for a commitment to 60 per cent of the work being done by local suppliers. With that deal now replaced by one with the US and UK that will see Australia get nuclear-powered submarines, the local defence industry is calling for a similar commitment. However, there are suggestions that the government’s focus has shifted from local industry to getting the submarines built quickly, prompting concerns that local submarine jobs will be sent overseas.
