“The cost of Australia’s future Hunter-class frigates will not blow out to $65 billion, according to the builder.
In 2018, the government announced nine new Hunter-class frigates would be built at a cost of $35 billion.
The cost rose to $45 billion in 2020.
BAE Systems Managing Director says the company does not know where the additional $20 billion has come from.
The $65 billion figure has been used by the government to justify scaling the program back from nine frigates to six.”
