It’s a useful case in point actually. Australia is a sovereign nation that has decided breach of contract is in its national interest.
It’s interesting though that France isn’t taking diplomatic retaliation against the UK - I mean, I know it’s the USA that’s supplying home assembly kits to the Australian navy but we’re most certainly egging them on, and we’re signatories to the pact that will coordinate the way HMAS Duke Nukem is eventually deployed to monitor Chinese activity.
Perhaps it’s a further case in point: that when it comes to it, France needs to keep Britain close more than it needs to prove a diplomatic point. Funny, that.

It’s difficult to see how this is relevant to the issue. Could you elaborate?
