This is what I was talking about.
Have a little read of this, its not going to say you're wrong, im right, but details our position in the south a little better. We can't afford to just sit back like New Zealand, we have a lot more resources then New Zealand and we have lot more responsibility in the region to our neighbouring countries.
Mate the article is written by an aj. Not very impartial. If you ask a teacher about education funding they will tell you that spending more money on education will solve all of the worlds problems, probably cancer too. If you ask a cop about crime he will tell we need more money for police and greater police powers.
I'd love to argue about this at length but my stupid fkn asus tablet that cost $1000 is a piece of poop and ill smash it on the ground if i have to type any more .
Reckon Iran would love to see the US at Nth Korea.
Speaking of irony, has anyone else noted the amount of US action movies out at the moment where NTH Korea is the baddy? Olympus down, the new RED DAWN? sounds like propaganda, prepare the nation first by making movies where the bad guys arent aliens from outta space, they are here and on the news right now.

The article is pretty much close to the mark .The govt has gutted the Defence Force cut its funding to almost frig all and is barefaced lying to the Australian public.
I doubt he is an AJ , Defence Chiefs and the Minister would screw him to the wall for writing the truth.
You can argue all you like mate , it's happening as we speak . I'm seeing it first hand.
Thank you for that link Ben. As a member of the ADF, I am appalled at what is really going on, both internally and externally. If I ever get up close and personal with that moronic minister he better have a thick breastplate on because I will be poking him with a 50 cal finger as I enlighten him a bit. Anyway, cannot really say much but suffice to say it is worse than even the papers write..
cheers.
Fishing is not a matter of life and death, it is far more serious than that.
As an ex AJ, defence always suffers under labour. I spent my time under Hawke and Eating, they were disgracful towards defence, Gillard and Co are the same.

Umm I don't think any thickness of breast plate will make a difference if you have 50 Cal fingers.
