The previous Government was not super big on insisting on performance standards for money granted…

You are joking, right?

I think this a result of some money the Feds gave them to improve the yard. Not sure if it was a straight up grant or a loan.

Wait- are you saying that oral tradition can sometimes be inaccurate?

Trade them RCDs for F35s?

That is gold…

Jetty space. Protected harbour.
