This comes as Australia is set to receive eight nuclear-powered submarines in a historic AUKUS security deal that will cost taxpayers somewhere between $268 billion and $368 billion. The boats will be based on a British design and are set to be built in Adelaide, with the first to be completed in just under two decades, around 2042.
“In the mediate future, it’s about constructing the shipyards – we’ve got the skills to be able to do that,” Mr Malinauskas told Sky News Australia. “Then also starting to take some of our existing naval shipbuilding workforce, putting them in the US and UK so they can come back here sooner rather than later.”
