Good news, Melbourne is now a tad safer 
On Sunday morning, a 15-year-old and 16-year-old died after crashing a stolen car at high speed into a tree on Kelletts Road in Rowville.

Overland (trucks and trains), the same way most land based assets and forces are moved. If they have to go over water, naval assets.
Also worth noting that China won’t just appear one day on the beaches of Darwin.
It isn’t happening anyway but if it did there would be plenty of time for preparation and deployment. Logistically it would be ‘relatively’ straight forward.
HIMARS are much more likely to be deployed to a foreign theatre than used in a defence of mainland Australia.

Sorry but that is a disgraceful statement to make.

Especially because they are already there! They already have the lease on the port.

Not going to pass judgement either way but as someone who has lost to underage idiots on the road all I can say is I’m glad there wasn’t another car involved.
funny how the “tributes are flowing” media coverage immediately gives away that they’re white kids

I didn’t read that at all in the paper?
Dont really see any race based reporting these days. Unless it’s racially motivated crime?
I’d say that crime is financially motivated and has ended in tragedy.
There were a few things in the coverage that were…unusual.

“The people in this car may have been involved in criminal offending, and that is disappointing and really concerning for us but ultimately, there is now no ability for them to try and correct whatever errors they have made [and rehabilitate].”
Da fuq?
I hadn’t thought of it in simmo’s terms until now, but…
The lengths they went to in stating they were not well known to the police…
Is that code?
Is that what we’re doing now?

Just a couple of kids making a mistake.
Surprised 17 didnt post it
Let’s see how it will be represented in regard to that 14 yo kid in a stolen car arrested after a crash
I had my sports car stolen about 7 years ago in an aggravated burglary by a 15 year old kid who had been out of juvenile detention for 1 day. He immediately drove at high speed to Dandenong to pick up his mates, per the red light fine the police later sent me. The friend’s mum called the police, but they arrived just as he left with a carload of kids. They called off the chase at that point to avoid a tragic accident.
I cannot overstate how stressed I was during that period, knowing that my car was in the hands of a kid who was very likely going to crash it and kill himself and others. It truly truly sucked. I can picture what happened in that story happening to that carload of kids hooning in my car and it would have destroyed me.
I don’t feel any real anger towards that kid, he’s now an adult and I expect will be behind bars on and off for the majority of his life. It just seems a tragic waste of a life, stemming from a childhood that was clearly and absolute disaster.

Did they have machetes in the car?
Also a waste of taxpayer’s money maintaining him.
Says the dude who suggested more older people should be murdered.
Yeah I was absolutely serious about killing old folk like me
Oi! I’m about the same age as you.
I agree with the philosophy, but the cut-off year of birth should always be 1951…

You’ve said it multiple times with absolute sincerity.
