$50 Billion Future Submarine Program Fraud Concerns

15th December, 2017

With the ABC confirming Australia's $50 billion Future Submarines program has been hit by allegations of fraud, and with a Commonwealth official being investigated for misappropriating funds, never has there been a more urgent need for a federal ICAC. Australians deserve so much better and our system of government, parliament and expenditure needs to be cleaned up immediately. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-15/submarine-fraud-investigation/9263458?pfmredir=sm

Any corporation, official or individual guilty of defrauding the commonwealth, and in turn the Australian people needs to be fully prosecuted, fined and jailed, and in the case of a corporation, stripped of its contract and any future contracts immediately.

With the defence budget such a significant expense to the commonwealth, a federal ICAC is long overdue to oversee our Federal Government, our Politicians and all federal expenditure.
