Defence industry has the potential to be the long-enfeebled manufacturing arm of Australia's economy, imho. Our cost structures preclude mass production of consumer goods like motor cars at globally competitive prices. However, when some tinpot regime's survival is at stake, price is no object. 💰  This is what sustains the world's extremely lucrative arms trade.
So, why not strike a weapons manufacture partnership with Germany 🇩🇪? There's cheap gas galore in Queensland. 🏭

There's a reason why good-quality military toys/scale-models look like they've been designed from the original (Top Secret?) blueprints. It's because that's exactly what happens  . Weapons companies are in it for $$$$s and they patent their creations ... * I read (long ago) that Britain's best source on WW2 German secret weapons was the London patents office. I would not doubt that Germany's patents office was an equally good source for "the other team" ...  |
