Jacinta is never shy to jump onto a zero cost opportunity to virtue signal.
If the subs are any good, she wont even know.
I have no doubt she would be happy for NZ firms to subcontract on the build.
I would hope that they are excluded. Why should they profit from it if we will not be able to enter their territorial waters?
Australia should declare that we promise not to use the submarines to enter NZ territorial waters, not even to defend NZ.
It's not even worth responding to IMO, no one is ever going to attack NZ lol.
Interesting thought experiment, nuclear fusion is gaining traction, does NZ's non-nuclear stance apply to fusion technology? It would be foolish to abandon net gain energy generation.
Nuclear fusion is still decades off from commercial reality, if ever. They won’t even have the theoretical 20 Tesla coil (magnet) ready until 2035 at the earliest to see if a sustained reaction is even possible.
