“The government has made an announcement about an announcement somewhere down the road…You can’t defend a country with a media release.”. Pretty good line really. True, pithy, and gets to the heart of this failed marketer rabble in power. Running the nation like a private corporation but with all the nous of brain damaged pot dealer.

The leaders of these unsuitable cities certainly aren’t thrilled either if you’d care to read

Have you seen how long Defence infrastructure takes to build. Decades isn’t long enough.

“final site would not be selected until 2023”
So you may or may not get it. What a load of nonsense, pure politics and of absolute no real value.

In light of that I’m betting either the base and the subs will be totally incompatible with each other by the time of delivery, then they’ll have to start all over again.

Patrick said: “Why pork barrel in one electorate when you can – for the same price – pork barrel in three?”

The total summary of this whole thing.

Particularly as Newcastle and Wollongong have anti-nuclear declarations and significant opposition pending. It might work massively against the ■■■■.

My daughter showed me a video of ADF troops filming themselves (allegedly uselessly) unloading a trailer of rubbish that had just been loaded, and said the highly staged footage had been or was to be used by Scomo. Any truth?

I can confirm that the adf guys in Lismore haven’t been able to really help until yesterday. They were limited in what they were allowed to do.

Most work from day one has been local volunteers just getting stuck in to whatever they can.

Annastacia has somehow managed to get General Ellwood appointed to lead Queensland flood recovery program.

One can hardly blame the ADF.
After all, the tone is set from the top, Scotty does photo-ops, so does everyone else.

This government and their hard on for the military is weird.

Good on the adf for helping out though, in all seriousness. They can only do so much.

So much forward planning and emphasis on Coalition Defence expenditure to keep us secure from the arc.
Meanwhile, there is nothing we can do to prevent or mitigate the effects of natural disasters on people animals and crops. Estimated 5000 homeless in NSW alone so far.
Veterinarians setting up GoFundMe to handle the dead and damaged livestock in Lismore. Don’t suppose the ADF has a specialist unit for animal health.
