Former prime minister Scott Morrison has split with Opposition leader Peter Dutton over Britain’s role in the looming AUKUS submarine deal.
Mr Morrison told Sky News host Sharri Markson a British model would be “consistent with the original intent” of the deal he claims as part of his legacy as prime minister.
Mr Dutton, who was the defence minister during Mr Morrison’s term as prime minister, has warned the British submarines reportedly had “capacity constraints” in the intel he was supplied with.

DUTTON LOOKS LIKE HE EATS THE SLEEP FROM SCOTTS EYES!
Dutton's right. The Yanks can offer better terms & have way more resources to help with support & maintenance…
Morission needs to shut up he not the boy in charge. He has had his day and was shown the front door. Go away
Anyone would think that it was Morrison that initiated AUKUS and not Biden watching Sharri on Sky Fake News..
You just can't get rid of this fool.
A British submarine model would just get us less capability for more cost and is really just a covert scheme to help prop up the failing UK economy using Australian taxpayer's money. The UK is in its dotage and we need to stop hobbling ourselves by letting the exploitative old vampire continue to bleed us dry.
Australian Government faggots and media Satanists looking for new toys and pleasure… St.Thomas
No one cares what this fired politician has to say. Stop giving this window lick er access to the news department perspex dividers.
Why waste Tax payers money on Rubbish that will do NOTHING to DEFEND AUSTRALIAN TERRITORIAL WATERS . This war mongering Australian Federal Government and its STUPID ADVISERS has got to go . The SOONER THE BETTER . HOW IS SPENDING MONEY ON USELESS FEW SUBMARINES going to protect AUSTRALIA but make Australian cities a Target .. Bring Back Conscription Train our young people to defend Australia . Every Australian man woman child to have firearm at a military depot through out Australia and thats the way i see it .

Snotty being a typical LNP Loser and snarking about his new leader from the shadows of Looserville.
He should just stick to his happy clapping and kissing the collective Hellsong ass.
Having complementary defence platforms, among-which, navy is just one member, it would seem the US the better option, given Australia’s current defence control & command and capital materiel. Integration of platforms is important.
Australia screws France, Uk and US screw Australia. A gang bang party going on.
You would think Morrison an d Dutton would be able to get in a room and discuss / settle on which one is better ? disappointing they are arguing about the basics!
Time and Time again if has been proven that American military equipment is the best bet.
I'm 67 more than a even bet I'll be dead before we see one submersible here in the Navy …too bloody late if at all.
Bloody hell, in 10 -15 years the subs themselves will be redundant.
Lease or buy some subs from USA, Germany etc, short term?
Why wouldn't Australia move forward with 'defence shield' tech and A.I. as a priority
If I had to bet the house, I would go after the US option Virginia class attack sub instead of the British Astute.
