Foreign countries needn't worry.
Because Western nations have DEI

We'll destroy ourselves in no time.

China has been revealed as the country working with the Australian now ex-politician.

'James Bond' is stilling saying that politicians calling for the alleged traitor to be named risk embarrassing themselves. So what! What's one more embarrassment among many? The party that accepted this person into their ranks needs to be embarrassed.

Both the PM and the Leader of the Opposition have already embarrassed themselves for not insisting this public enemy be identified - or prosecuted and named if he is guilty.

Hi ttbn

Mainly Labor politicians were associated with Chinese or Chinese-Australian identities 5+ years back.

So no wonder Mike Burgess and Albo's front bench haven't been forthcoming, yet.

The next Question Time in the House of Reps is 19th March (I reckon) so naming might happen then.

Also the issue opens up a whole can of worms for some Former Coalition politicians, but Current Dutzis, less so.

Interesting times ahead but hopefully safe and
secure ones.

We (or those of us who are interested) are told by professional strategists that we are living in the most dangerous times since the time just before WW2. Our lack of defence is in a similar state of unreadiness. The big difference now is the lack of spirit and reality that Australians had those days. And we weren't divided by culture as we are today.

Also, as ‘Australian’ foreign editor, Greg Sheridan, points out:

“Australia, of course, is doing absolutely nothing (about defence) – absolutely zero. In fact, the Australian Government is doing less about defence than if it was doing nothing at all, because our defence capabilities are eroding, and we are not replacing them.” (Greg Sheridan in an interview at the National Civic Council's 2024 Democratic Conference” in answering a question on whether or not the West is willing to fight for its existence).

We still think that America will “take care of it”; but, as Sheridan asks, “What if America's 54 allies needed help at the same time”?

Too many Australians, including politicians, are living in a fools’ paradise, ignoring history and professional opinion never seen in mainstream media that prefers to scare us with climate change. We need a big scare about our inability to defend ourselves.

‘Hoping’ for security and safety is not going to be much help.

Australia has committed to a major upgrade of its defence
capabilities. The Australian Government's defence spending
for 2023-2024 we're told will reach A$53 billion up from
$49 billion in 2022-2023. The 2023 National Defence
Strategic Review sets a blueprint for defence planning and
resourcing to 2032-33 and beyond.

There's more at the following:
