This is an interesting story of how the RAN bullied a contractor because of a different opinion over the Collins submarine replacement. In a perfect world, we would fire the bully. Especially with a current, gross, overage in top-end officer slots.
*Submarine expert, working as a contractor for Defence, writes critical papers in regard to the Collins replacement program. Things like off-the-shelf subs and saving money.
*RAN tells him to be quiet.
*RAN tries to dig up dirt on him.
*RAN doesn't renew contract.
*AFP et al informed.
Waiting on a media release from the contractor, Acoustic Force.
***UPDATE*** Acoustic Force media release on this event here.
