Some clever journo needs to take a look at what Liberal senior politician has his electorate in the area where BAE are based in Adeliade.

If my missus ran the weekly housekeeping at our place the way these ****'s from the Public 'Service' and BOTH Parties have mishandled Defence procrurement over the last fifty+ years, my family would be very thin and we'd have been relying on the bloody dole years ago.
We need a pair of Aussie Woodwards and Bernsteins to do some proper investigative journalism on this and earlier Defence debacles, the most recent of which that comes to mind is the RAN's extraordinarily costly Seasprite disaster.
