Australian Politics -- and YOU WILL LIKE IT

Has to be satire. Just has to be.

I thought ‘The Shovel’ is actually parody, maybe I’m wrong.

Haha, PM answers Q about India to the effect that the security relationship in the Quad is about Indo Pacific security.
But why is he linking Ukraine to Australian security threat - greatest in 80 years ( no mention of Australian role in Indonesian Confrontation, Korean War, Vietnam and the domino theory).
He does however state that Taiwan and Ukraine not comparable.

time for the nimby crowd to step up

who wants their town to be a bombing target?

Planes have problems
Choppers have real problems and are being replaced (one reason being they cant fit the big boi door guns in them)
Ships break down when on humanitarian jobs
New vehicles rejected as the brake system are dangerous
…and the subs
…and the Minister in charge is Dutton.

Make of this what you will.

I’d be pretty careful of a defence-led election strategy if I were Scott.

I could be wrong.

would improve newcastle.

Newcastle has just about everything going for it (except for coal).
Port Kembla could do something to lift Wollongong.

Newcastle is ok these days, last 10-15 years especially they have done a heap of good work up there. Wollongong on the other hand is still a shithole :rofl:

Shouldn’t the major priority of our defence policy be to defend Australia most efficiently and effectively, rather than “lift” a town in NSW? Are no coastal towns much closer to potential invasion sites and our major export ports worthy of a “lift”?

It’s dire in NSW, stretching from the Tweed to the Illawarra ( except for Sydney ) with more rain bombs to come.
Perrottet says NSW emergency response team not up to the mark, journos going along with this, attacking a team that is overwhelmed with saving lives , food and other essential supplies, clean ups, utilities, acknowledging assistance from Vics.
Feds coming under fire, ADF does a presser to explain what it is doing, what it can’t do.

saw some footage on reddit of a camera crew watching ADF unloading a trailer full of rubbish at someones house.

Deep water ports on the east coast, Brisbane not ruled out.
WA to be upgraded.

One twit calling another twit “a twit” seems a tad precious.

Upgraded how? By transferring subs currently in WA to NSW?

Not to labour a point, but WA covers a third of the land area of the country. It has major iron ore and gas exports that prop up the national economy and is potentially closest to any invasion.

Yet for a third of the country, it has only 2% of the air force, and 19% of the navy. Today’s news reports said that the WA naval forces will be reduced. I haven’t heard your news of upgrades but it’s not like the PM for NSW to be looking to do that.

The Libs are very good at making sure those who are overworked and carrying them cop all the blame for their incompetence. Seems their favourite thing to do.

I know the other ‘twit’ you were referring to was Kochie but could equally have been applied to @Irons as well
