Australian shipbuilding seen as postwar cornerstone
In a review of Australia’s shipbuilding sector, Minister for the Navy J Makin argues the wartime industry will endure and expand, with postwar plans to ease shortages and shift capacity into peaceful production. He notes government reports, price pressures, and the need to keep the industry viable, including potential subsidies and policy decisions shaping a competitive Australian shipbuilding base. The outlook stresses the value of secondary industries to the economy and Queensland’s active role in maintaining momentum.
