From The Guardian:
South Australia’s premier, Jay Weatherill, has hit back at criticism from prominent businessmen of the federal government’s decision to build French-designed submarines in Adelaide.
A group of businessman, including Dick Smith and John Singleton, took out a full-page advertisement in the Australian on Tuesday describing the decision as “astonishing” and potentially a “fiasco”. They suggested buying off-the-shelf nuclear subs would have been a better option.
