'we sent a radio message and the Australian navy didn't know'.

Australia was at fault for pushing Russia into invading Ukraine. China's 9 Dash line was caused by Australia selling lobsters to Shanghai cafes.

The twillight zone of graps mind; he thinks 'democracy is freedom', when the REAL basis of freedom is common prosperity.

Hence the increasing number of home invasions, and attacks on police and security guards ("freedom") , in a cost of living crisis leading to social breakdown as lower socio-economic families crumble under the economic pressures.

Some say TGD that Australians are a nation of Convicts with no Freedom under British rule.

...then there are the Americans who have too much Freedom to commit as many crimes as they like.

Makes one wonder who is committing the crimes here, eh?

So Albo does nuffin' when international shipping is threatened. "Too far".

Albo does nuffin' when the Chinese navy sails around Australia, conducting live fire exercises. Nuffin' to see here.

Promises statehood to Hamas as forward for Oct 7. "Penny Dreadful told me to."

But Albo is considering sending Australian troops to the Ukraine.


The kind of Bbwianesque "strategic thought" that has earned you the  sobriquet of "spineless apologist cockwomble".

And here is the dilemma.  In order for us to increase our defence spending to 3% or more of our GDP, we would have to fork out a lot of money, but where would those money come from? 

1.  We are exporting most of our stuff to China, however, as the trade war intensifies between China and USA.  We are caught in the cross fire.   We’ve tried to open other markets, but this would take decades of talks and agreements. 
2. We cancel AUKUS - but then, the USA will get angry especially under Trump, and who knows what sort of trade punishment he would dish our way if we do this.    If we stay with AUKUS - the price of the subs will surely increase under Trump in the near future.  We will be taking on more debts for the same stuff - delivered or not.    Remember 300 billion dollars is the current mineral wealth that Trump is after in Ukraine.
3. We reduce pension, medicare, social services.   But this would be political suicide, as we are heading into an ageing crisis.    Most voters will be older, and will have a big say.
4. We increase taxes -income or GST.   That would be a suicide pill for any political party. 

So as you see, we are in a fairly difficult situation right now.   There are always ‘good to have’,s and try to ‘stand on own feet.’s.   But it’s easier said than done.

1. You believe whatever Bwyan - you're views on my views are assumptive BS.

2. I did not suggest Australia should "provoke" PLAN - more assumptive BS - not strategic thought.

3. More BS.

4."lacking forethought and apparently not being willing to alert us to it's live fire exercise". So why was that diplomatic courtesy given to PNG 2 weeks earlier when no live firing was going to occur in their waters?

It seems that the whole exercise was deliberate as a muscle flexor to make a point ... a provocation as it were.

Never mind you failing to accept the deliberate provocation a fortnight ago when the Chinese fighter fired it's anti missile flares at our Orion Surveillance plane in International Airspace over the Sth China sea.
They lied accusing Australia of being in Chinese air space.

Do you see how one sided their actions and your excuse making for them are? ... never mind you defending our lack of monitoring capability off our coast line.

5. They had no right to be disrupting International Flights out of Australia because of their lack of diplomacy and consideration.
Imagine the shoe on the other foot.

6. JINDALEE & NORFORCE weren't worth 2 knobs of goat poo in this instance.

7. Of the 12 P-8A Poseidon aircraft the RAAF has how many were operational?
None of them were tracking/observing these PLAN vessels. We had to rely commercial airlines to advise on their live firing exercise.

8."The PLAN has proved they can push two ships a long way from China".

Yes and what should that tell you abut our defense and reaction capabilities being inadequate? Tsk tsk tsk
