The construction of nuclear-powered submarines and the industry surrounding it is set to create 10,000 jobs.
The construction and design process of the submarines between the US, UK and Australia looks set to blow out for the next 15-20 years.
The new AUKUS submarine class is set to provide a local construction aspect in South Australia.

For 10,000 jobs I'd expect a lot more than 5 submarines. I guess we need 9,000 consultants.
Bloody hell, in 10 -15 years the 'new' subs themselves will be redundant.
Lease or buy some subs from USA, UK etc, short term for sure.
But why wouldn't Australia move forward with 'defence shield' tech and A.I. as a priority ?
Seems like Winnnie the Pooh and his brain-dead slaves are seriously p!ssed. Surely, that alone makes the program worthwhile
I'm calling bullshit on this one, especially as more and more of the content is going to be sourced from overseas.

The three stooge's
A layman's opinion but I have no idea of what the overall fighting style we are trying to get to. Is it offensive ( subs way off in the distance ) is it defense ( tanks in the middle of Oz ) Is it counter strike(surveillance and rapid deployment). I know I am not military but it seems a mess like we buy what the salesman tells us. A 10, 000 job nuclear project to support just one platform. Australia has the sixth longest coastline in the world, at 59,736 kilometers (37,118 mi). The numbers don't add up for me.
AUSTRALIANS never forget that China built 2 naval fleets (776) ships/ frigates in just over 2years..
next century?
Let's hope China will wait until the subs are finished 🤣
Just start training people in University it's very simple and good paying all over the world.
If we can't even keep the choice secret why would the UK or USA trust us with any secret system?
When can people start applying for those highly paid jobs?When can they start?
They will never build them in SA, they are just lying to the voters, its total bullshit, there is probably 10years worth of infrastructure work needed before they cut any steel and space is limited near ASC, bunch of clowns
Riiight. 10,000 jobs split between union mates, bureaucrats and foreign workers
🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🐃💩
How much of these subs will be MADE IN CHINA?
It better be bloody zero%
Question is were, 10,000 jobs will be created. US ones again trying to fix own economy, this time hussling it's colinies.
Australian built will mean 30 years from now they will be completed.
It's proven that the A$$(Anglo SaxonS) is good at nothing besides spilling SH!T!
Over budgets by 10x the workers asking for pay rise every 3 months with free gym membership and free family movies every week
sky are championing the deal
Jeez, Australia really have some of the worst people in the world, just read these comments. literally some of the best news in ADF history, that'll propel Australia forward in so many industries and the comments are just completely negative. Typical straya
Hope S.A's power grid is up to scratch
