The Ambassador pointed out that France agreed to share with Australia 
much of the scientific/engineering knowledge of attack class submarine 
design - both nuclear and diesel powered.

The French are pissed off not just because of the cancellation of the 
contract and the dubious reasons given for the decision. They resent 
giving away valuable secrets to (what is now) an untrustworthy 
Australian government. I don't blame them.

If the reasons for tearing up the contract are true, the best option 
would have been to go with an unmodified version of what we originally 
asked for.

So now the government has annoyed the Chinese, the French and the 
Americans.Europe can't be too impressed either.

Yes.
