"Scott Morrison said the decision will be made after an 18-month process to explore and assess all the issues and options involved." Just to be clear, Australia is also governed by a bunch of opportunistic jerks like the UK is at the moment. I would not be at all surprised is this was a feint to get the French to lower the price and the "investigation" will find various technical issues that preclude going with either the UK or US designs. Australia as a deep anti-nuke history, the government can probably use that as an excuse to fold on the new deal too.
