The $20B in efficiencies being demanded are reality enough! Lots of low hanging fruit being picked, which only succeeds in p1ssing off the operators at the coal face. Some of the things being driven in the name of cost savings make one shake one's head in disgust.
But the big c0ck ups? Has anyone been hanged for Sea Sprite? Has CA sacked anyone for the pointless WOFTAM of mid point DPCU, redundant and replaced before being issued? LCM 2000? Does the Minister do anything more than say "tut tut" and wag his finger when the Pussers can't put as much as a kayak in the oggin during one of the worst disasters in living history? Not much action when it comes to the big debacles
oh no, but quietly cut ball ammo allocation, reduce access to ranges, issue fewer uniforms to recruits, reduce course panel sizes ... no worries!
