If Labor can't manage to decide where to store gloves used in nuclear medicine procedures, how can anyone have confidence that it can manage the difficult decisions that are going to be required to deliver nuclear submarines under the AUKUS agreement? Isn't it the truth that this change of policy at this time to junk the Napandee site is just another example of appeasing the left-wing factions ahead of the national conference next week and putting Labor's internal divisions ahead of addressing the national interest?
