Abbott provides an alternative to the Left yabberings of other hasbeens, Rudd, Turnbull and Keating, for those people interested in failed and impotent Prime Ministers. What any of them say means absolutely nothing.

As the old saying goes "A Leopard does not change its spots".
Abbott was always a termite, aka "white ant", and always will be.

I disagree. It's time someone had the courage to stand up to a sabre-rattling China! And call spade a spade.

China has developed some horrendous weapons, supersonic missiles/weapons that can be sent into space and then attack from there anywhere on earth! And from all appearances, is getting ready to use them on someone, somewhere. And seems to be following Japan's wartime strategy without resorting to bloodshed, yet!

The difference? they seem to be buying the bases and influence they need to conquer/take whatever they want? And we would seem to be in their sights? As we wait like warm and comfortable frogs being gradually brought to the boil! Virtually sleepwalking our way to our demise or slavehood?

That day will arrive as (Mach 3) weapons rain from the blue without any warning to take out critical defence and infrastructure! Then a largely disarmed Australia will be a pushover for our new (CCP, monster) masters!

Those of us pushing up the daisies by then will be the lucky ones and the last of free Australians!

I have given up bothering with the yabbering of this lefty twit.

Your UK-centric, wet left world view

makes you thick about the China threat to Australia.

It's easy to see the difference between Taiwan & Australia. The Taiwanese stand up against the Chinese whereas the Australians simply sell to China !
