By Binoy Kampmark, published 9/3/2022Never trust anything that comes out of a politician's mouth in an election year. Pledges are made to be broken; promises are made to seduce, not convince.

The biggest joke of the government’s electioneering is the one about Labor not being trustworthy on defence. Sheesh! The government has been in for nearly a decade, and their defence policy has been talk and imagination. No. We cannot trust Labor on defence based on their past performance, but neither can we trust the government based on its present performance, in actual control. What a powerless opposition would or would not do if they won is no excuse. We have seen what the government has not done in power. If China does decide to move against Australia, they won't wait for imaginary submarines, still undecided on, let alone built, crewed, and on patrol. Tanks? Well if we have enough of them and they go into action, the Chinese will already be on our soil.
