Sacked Home Affairs Secretary, Mike Pezullo, believes that Australia faces looming peril, and would struggle to defend itself in a major conflict without the support of the U.S.

Political infighting has been a distraction from the necessity for defence reforms.

Both the Coalition and Labor are criticised.

Pezullo was sacked by the Albanese government; we will never know the real reason. My guess is that he was too smart and too honest for the government, whose attitude to China is different from that of the Coalition.

I don't think that the Australian vote for Palestine in the UN when the U.S voted against will do much to endear us to the only ally that could probably save us from Communist China.

But, of course, it's possible that the Albanese government doesn't want to be saved from Communist China - given the push for similar censorship, digital ID to that suffered by the Chinese people.

Remember, even the previous government went down the Chinese Communist road on Covid, slashing freedoms, allowing businesses to enforce mandatory vaccination on its employees and all that other nasty stuff that has no place in a democracy.

Now, the Albanese government denies us a Royal Commission into the Covid affair to protect its dictatorial state premiers and unelected bureaucrats.

The refusal to do some tough talking on the two aggressive Chinese actions (there could be more covered up) against our ADF personnel is just another reason to ask, "WTF is Albanese up to".

The only good news about the man is his continuing slump in the polls.

Talking about WTF?

It sure is strange that after Tuesday
the rest of the week spells - WTF.

I disagree with the whole context of further aligning with the US on anything that even hints of dependence.

Are you ignorant to the plight of Israel and their current outcomes in a war with a ragtag band of terrorists, almost totally dependent on a manipulated US arms supply to maintain a war effort which will defeat even one of their surrounding enemies.
This will be Australia when the chips are down, and we dare attempt to maintain our Sovereign independence.

We urgently need to kick them off, not drag more of their losing war mentality on board.
Playing the Chinese Dragon against the US mouse would be good policy.

On the matter of what Albanese and his gang are up to and what they might be hiding from us, and what they want to prevent us from seeing and hearing, the Reporters Without Borders organisation now says that the score for Australia's press freedoms has slumped from being in the top 20 to 39th. No surprises there.

I would be interested in hearing how you think that Australia can retain its sovereignty, and defend itself, without the help of America (and perhaps other allies). They are still obviously relying on America.

Also, do you think our political class would action your suggestions, and why have they not already come up with an Americaless plan to defend the country now, and not in twenty to thirty years time, when most of them will have left the stage.

The ADF is losing personel at the rate of 600 a month; nobody wants to join up; conscription is out of the question; we are already fighting a grey war with Communist China, and the CCP is becoming physically more aggressive, while Albanese doesn't seem interested in defence at all. He can't wait to get back to China to fawn over his mate Xi Jinping. He is so far to the left himself that he thinks a full-blown Communist can be trusted.

As it stands, Australia will be toast without America, and with Albanese.
