Aukus Deal Got Us Broke: More Bread for Subs, Still No Spot for the Hot Sh*t
Gov'ment throwin' money at these submarines while the hood still tryna eat, and where the heck they gon' dump this nuclear mess?
Aight, peep this: Treasurer Jim Chalmers just dropped the 2026 budget, and guess what? They pumpin' MORE dough into this whole Aukus submarine thing. Like, $512 million for the Australian Submarine Agency (ASA) next year. Fam, that's real money that could be fixin' up schools, gettin' folks jobs, and puttin' food on tables in the community.
This Aukus deal, right, it's this whole thing with the US and UK where we coppin' these nuclear-powered submarines. They say it's 'bout keepin' us safe, but all I see is wasted paper. We out here strugglin', and they worried 'bout playin' war games.
ASA gettin' a whole lotta new bodies too, jumpin' from 883 to 1,209. More jobs for the boys, huh? Bet none of them jobs end up in the hood, tho. It's always the same story, different day.
They sayin' the total cost is gonna be over $2.13 billion for the next four years. That's extra $431 million from what they originally said. Straight robbery, man. Straight robbery.
But the real tea is this: they still ain't got a spot to dump all that nuclear waste. You know, the stuff that can mess you up for generations? Defence Minister Richard Marles promised us a plan, but all we got is crickets. They playin' with fire, and we gon' be the ones burnin'.
They throwin' $11.9 million at some agency to “figure it out.” Figure it out? Man, they shoulda figured that out BEFORE they started buyin' these submarines. Sounds like some straight backwards logic to me.
So, what's the deal? We spendin' billions on submarines we don't need, the money ain't comin' to the hood, and we got nuclear waste chillin' with no place to go. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, know what I'm sayin'?
They worried 'bout lookin' tough on the world stage, but they forgettin' 'bout the people right here at home. We need jobs, we need schools, we need healthcare. Not some fancy submarines that gon' end up costin' us more than they worth.
This whole thing is a joke, man. A big, expensive joke that we all payin' for. But hey, at least we can watch 'em playin' war while we out here tryna survive. Keep it 100, that's the realest sh*t.
