“Duuuuuhh, Bronkwyn!, just look at the economic attacks and social "persuasion" used against Australian Chinese. Also the Global Times and the use of shelf companies to buy up resources and industries. Non of which you or I can do in China.”

None of that proves that China is (as you claimed) wanting to ‘control’ or ‘own’ Australia. I suggest you tone down your Sinophobia.

“Re Indigenous number, its left wing woke socialists who want to treat indigenous as special. As for me, we are all equal and deserve equal opportunity, not special treatment, rules, financing and rights, as activists promote on your fake "mob" side of politics.”

I said nothing about wanting special treatment for indigenous people. I merely pointed out that they should be included in our overall population statistics, not insultingly presented as an add-on, as you did.

“As an retired academic I try to engage with this generation of academics/professors... its a waste of time, them come from an indoctrination education system...”

If you speak to them in the same manner you’ve spoken to me, I’m not surprised you were unable to engage with them. You might claim to have had a life in academia, but your posts certainly didn’t have me thinking I was listening to the voice of an academic!

Boo000 hooooo.... I am so "wounded" by your flakey response. Why not go a live in Chiana, they will surely make you a member of the CCP! "DuuuuuHHH ....NOT"

They know their game plan, and you are just a pawn in "100 strategic plan" (stated in 1949) that they tell you (and your ilk) nothing about.

Unfortunately I am too old to see the time when they get you to serve to serve them and laugh at fools like the naïve fools you are!

Try and read a bit more actual/real history and stop listening to the ABC, CNN, BBC and of course that great oracle " THE GLOBAL TIMES".

If the French think they were hard done by their intelligence service
was inadequate because the dogs were barking it in the street that the
contract was up for cancellation.
Everyone is used to defense contracts being out of date when completed.
This one was out of date well before it started.

It was inevitable, even on the grounds that area the subs would be
deployed in had shifted by 1000s of miles.
