Australia had ‘deep and grave concerns’ over French submarines, says Scott Morrison

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Sunday that the French government would have known Canberra had “deep and grave concerns” about French submarines before the deal was torn up last week. “I think they would have had every reason to know that we had deep and grave concerns that the capability being delivered by the Attack Class submarine was not going to meet our strategic interests and we made very clear that we would be making a decision based on our strategic national interest,” he said.
