  • Our northern defences shouldnt need enhancing. This sort of thing should have been done years ago. We should also have built a couple of nuclear powered, nuclear capable submarines by now. Unfortunately we have been ruled over by traitors for far too long.

  • China does not even need to fire a shot in anger. For ultimate control, mortgagee China is $buying up the world. Combined with the power of the gun, powerful China are now obviously in charge. Apparently stupid Australia is still gifting money to China, while at the same time borrowing a $Billion dollars a week from China, further increasing our huge escalating, wasted debt. Our embattled soldiers are far too busy building Mosques and Islamic schools etc in overseas unfriendly countries to even think about protecting northern Australia. But don't youse all worry, diplomatic, UN Krudd speaks some Mandarin in his speeches.
