Celia Perkins from the Department of Fake Acquisitions and US Bases ...being paid the big bucks to not answer questions.

I don't like it, ... she reckons... It's uncomfortable. I only get paid $200000.

We should stop using AUKUS l as a synonym for ADF acquisitions.
It's confusing.
"Dump nuclear submarine acquisition for undersea drones" Maybe.
"Drones better for defensive use." Perhaps
Nuclear subs provide cover for weapons export supply chain arrangements. #notdefence .
Dump AUKUS subs for undersea drones, says former ADF officer https://t.co/3fQW1PUPA1
Submarines are not the goal.
Subsidised supply of submarine EXPORT parts are the goal.
It's an EXPORT INDISTRY. #notdefence
Indonesia started looking at new subs in 2020. Six years later construction has commenceed. Australia started looking at new subs in 2009. 17 years later there’s not a welding torch in sight at Osborne. #ProcurementIncompetence #AUKUS #auspol https://t.co/eWET6RdjSK
More #AUKUS propaganda from former naval officer Jennifer Parker!
Parker is correct that the US’s Columbia ballistic missiles sub program being priority 1 is not news, but in her usual ‘defence strategy divorced from ship delivery reality’ dismisses the real danger to our national security that the current circumstances in the US present.
The US wants 66 fast attack subs. They only have 48 (the number went down from 49 last week after the US gave up on the shipyard that was refitting USS Boise, announcing the sub will be decommissioned). Since 2011 the US Navy has been ordering 2 new subs per annum, but their shipyards are only delivering 1.1. They can’t get to 2 … but need to get to 2.3 to be able to deliver subs to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
Under US law, subs cannot be transferred to the RAN if doing so would degrade US undersea capabilities. This was the genesis of Defense Under Secretary Elbridge Colby’s review into AUKUS - a review that was going to recommend canning the sub deal until Trump (who will not be US President when the subs are due to be transferred) intervened - recognising the Australian money pumped into US shipyards is a beautiful thing, particularly in the absence of a contract for delivery.
Sitting in front of fixing the fast attack sub program is the troubled Columbia ballistic missile sub program. Parker fails to (or simply doesn’t want to) appreciate the impact of the ‘priority’ circumstances. The troubled Columbia sub building program fixes sit ahead of the problem laden Virginia sub building program fixes.
None of this seems to matter to Parker, who engages in fantasy strategy when it comes to AUKUS. She has complete faith in a hierarchy inside Defence that announced in 2009 it was procuring 12 new subs, but is now having to spend $11B to extend the life of our Collins Class because the organisation has failed to come up with a replacement in that time. Well, to be fair, they did actually spend $4 billion not getting French subs 🤦♂️.
Parker has no experience in naval shipbuilding (I experienced the Collins sub build program first hand, was a project manager feeding sonar systems into the German Type 214 sub building program - doing sea trials on those subs - and also worked briefly inside the US sub program - also doing sea trials on USS Santa Fe). She does not understand project management risk. She fills her void of knowledge in this discipline with enthusiasm and hope.
AUKUS is dangerous; dangerous to national security, dangerous to the budget and dangerous to our submariners who might be asked to venture into combat with aging and unreliable Collins Class subs.
Even if this were all to go well, which it won’t, the opportunity cost of AUKUS is just too high. There is so much more we could do with $368 billion. #auspol
It's not about HAVING SUBMARINES.
Its about MAKING SUBMARINES
Its about ENTWINING ECONOMIES
It's about THE FLOW of MONEY TO THE USA
#NotDefence
Passing money direct to trans-national weapons corporations to develop an EXPORT industry. It's #NotDefence. The industry requires a series of genocides and unnecessary wars for profitability.
Their people are in the ministerial offices, directing.
#EarthcareNotWarfare
Chart shows mind-boggling $ spent on Defence v other govt depts.
And here @MrRexPatrick unpacks Marles' new plan and shows what's wrong #auspol
https://t.co/1rTktDxDuA
Because Australians don't want to build weapons for greedy corporations.
This is #notdefence-
it's either weapons for EXPORT,
OR
Money-sucking DoD contracts for private equity corporations.
No ethics, no reason, no benefit.
#YANKEEGOHOME #USOut
A scathing audit finds Defence failed to meet local industry requirements in major procurements, breaching finance law in the process. Policies mean nothing without action.
I’ll continue to push Defence to get serious about sovereign 🇦🇺 capability.

We love it when they fight amongst themselves.
Elon Musk hates the f35.
The F35 is a funnel of cash to #HarmsDealer Lockheed Martin.
Musk probably wants to funnel cash to HIS projects.

#NetanyahuWarCriminal Is killing #Palestinians
This is #NotDefence by Israel. Bibi already had 72Billion to build the world's best cyber, surveillance & military
Now he's using that to kill children for more land
Another American Isreali saying the truth. Thank you for explaining the condition to the world.

@MaryKostakidis @RichardMarlesMP AUKUS makes sense from the perspective power and commerce, #notDefence
Long term nuclear waste dump for US and UK waste.
Provides funded and educated workforce for US shipbuilding.
The ALP executive are more afraid of US than China for their positioning.

The #HarmsDealer Thales' billion dollar ONE SKY (CMAT) Project is WAY BEHIND on cost and schedule. Like most other Dept Defence projects.

@QuentinDempster @tonyowright It's #NOTDEFENCE
It's cRapitalism.
It's about protecting US commercial deals.
Keating said that very clearly.
US have no Land in SouthEast Asia.
Not Defence
Last time Australia used fighter jets in jet fights... Which is what they are for... was 1952.
We've had three or four sets of new ones since then.
#Boyswiththetoys #NotDefence
"It's important to put it quite frankly...these planes, which are the same models used to kill people all over the world... are for our own entertainment which is completely disconnected from the reality of their true purpose." #NoFighterJets on @CityNewsTO 💪
The ME program is it ethical education? - or training for the weapons industry. Is it student focused? - or really focused on keeping the billions flowing into the corporations its #notdefence #DemilitarizeEducation
Defence Industry Skilling and STEM Strategy -is a talent selection and grooming program for the Military Industrial Complex - which is all about it's Attack #NotDefence - it’s past time to #DemilitarizeSTEM Stop the #WarProfiteers in #STEM #Education🙆🏼♀️

Critical thinking in education? - When the weapons industry moves in - it's not ok to question. The ME program - sounds student focused, its really focused on keeping the billions flowing into the weapons corporations its #notdefence #DemilitarizeEducation
