Australia’s Submarine Deal Likely to Deliver Nothing but Empty Promises

KEY POINTS

  • Former PM Malcolm Turnbull warned in a public inquiry that Australia likely won’t get any submarines from the agreement.
  • NSW Superintendent Linda Bradbury reported that suitcase remains found near Goulburn are confirmed to be non-human after forensic tests.
  • The housing market faces pressures as undersupply and population growth offset impacts of higher interest rates and federal policy changes.

In a plot twist worthy of a slow submarine thriller, former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull testified at a public inquiry that Australia’s high-stakes submarine agreement might produce zero submarines. Meanwhile, NSW’s Superintendent Linda Bradbury relieved the nation announcing mysterious suitcase remains near Goulburn were surprisingly not human, sparing a forensic drama but not the grocery list of government housing woes. Under the hood, housing undersupply and population growth are about to play tug of war with interest rates and federal policy changes. The net result? A boiling political stew more unstable than a suitcase full of unknown remains.
