I would think that cluster bombs are for attack and not defence.

the purpose of an army is attack, not defense. the australian government would feel less god-like if they didn't have a general to instruct: "go there, kill them."

then too, a few thousand sas spread around parliament does add a comfort to pollies engaged in corrupt practices. no telling when the boy scouts might rebel.

The author quotes Rae McGrath extensively, but overlooked including a link to the Handicap International website:

Well worth a visit.
