Australia's Future Submarine program is likely to blow out by billions, a South Australian senator is warning.
Senator Rex Patrick, a former defence contractor who recently replaced Nick Xenophon, believes a professional project manager should be brought in to oversee the program.
"Given that the project is running across three to four decades and is a $50 billion program, these sorts of delays, they cascade through -- it could be a $1 to $2 billion blowout on the evidence that we have at the moment," he told ABC radio on Wednesday.
