OMG they& #39;re so full of shit. A multi-million $ manufacturing roadmap? Running on all the front pages again. Please.
They announce a "boost" for manufacturing every few months. Here are some they prepared earlier:

May 2019 - Prime Minister Scott Morrison has promised to back Australia’s manufacturing sector with a reinvigorated "Australian Made" campaign https://www.smh.com.au/federal-election-2019/morrison-pledges-australian-made-campaign-20190505-p51ka8.html">https://www.smh.com.au/federal-e...
Check the language: "eyes", "flags", "signals", "announces" a "roadmap", a "plan" for the manufactuing sector.
And if you believe these all actually happened there& #39;s a "future" submarine I& #39;d like to sell you. For $7 billion.

And yes: $7bn is the actual cost of one new sub.
Compare that to what Morrison is announcing for 6 "priority areas" for manufacturing, including defence: $1.5bn.
So they& #39;re announcing support for the equivalent of one-fifth of a submarine. Over the next 4 years.
