"Rather than slinging mud - read the content of the article and have a debate. Play the ball not the man.

The issue is whether we (as a G20 but not G7 country) can afford it and whether the submarines can be delivered - which involves a conversation about risk and risk mitigation. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019553424107598149 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019553424107598149"
