I sense a one term government

The AFR is saying this:
An international competition will be staged to buy new submarines for Australia with the fleet to be largely built offshore confirming a blow to South Australian jobs.
This is (apparently) what the defence minister said before the election:

“We will deliver those submarines from right here at ASC in South Australia. The Coalition today is committed to building 12 new submarines here in Adelaide.”
Senator Johnston, Press Conference, 8 May 2013.


Given the departure of other manufacturing in South Australia, I would like to know what industries the Abbott government thinks are likely to fill the void in an already financially moribund State; given they are doing their best to also kill renewable energy.

    Governments in their first term lie all the time.

    My concern with this is that the Jap submarines are apparently not really good for our terrain!
