Dear Banjo P.

I agree, except for the part where you’ve specified Nuclear.

IMO, our submarines should be close shore specific, diesel-do!

Having been acquainted at close enough quarters with a Collin’s Class Commander some years back, I was surprised to hear, against all the negative press floating around then and now, how, during a joint exercise with the Americans, he succeeded in positioning his craft directly underneath a US warship undetected, true story: What better would you wish for?

Nuremberg Dan,

You ask; "What’s wrong with Uncle Clive and Aunty Pauline?" As a devoted nephew, you need to visit uncle and aunty more often at the asylum. Unfortunate both have received extensive treatment from the Dangerous Doctor Donald, nut job extraordinaire himself. More unfortunately if Mini-Me Trump, that's The Dud Dutton, should get elected here then their treatment by DDD will not be bulk billed on Medicare, nor their much needed hallucinatory drugs, they will not be free on the PBS

What Dan says. After initial problems, the Collins were turned into a damn good submarine. Unfortunately, the refitting of them while we wait decades for something else, has come to a halt. People are the problem, not the equipment. We have too many ning nongs in politics, the bureaucracy, and in defence.

In the meantime, the AUKUS version is reported as being "on schedule", whatever the schedule is. The ning nongs in the media either don't know, or they are making it all up, as they often do.

Dearest Bonger 1405.

Show me the company you keep and I’ll show you who you are then?

Do we know exactly what position Uncle Dud takes with Trump, and likewise Aunty Pauline?

Thanks for the update on their mental health BTW. I’m a born again Psychoanalyst, do you think I could help them in their recovery, and what miracle could I perform to swing them further leftwards than they are: Dud would be the biggest challenge since he’s already very pink. Anyway, suggested printable ideas please.

Greeting from afar, Nuremberg Dan.

"Do we know exactly what position Uncle Dud takes with Trump, and likewise Aunty Pauline?"

Yes indeedy I do, its depends which way the winds blowing, and at moment its blowing very much in all directions, so Uncle Dud is rather confused as to what position to take. He has been busy consulting his pocket guide Karma Sutra to see if there is a favoured position, a quick call to Aunty Pauline and she advised that she very much favours the position on page 69!

"what miracle could I perform to swing them further leftwards"

Very simple, introduce them to the exploits of Genghis Khan, a well known humanitarian, and bleeding heart liberal, well compared to uncle and aunty he was.

I hope our navy isn't as hopeless as the Kiwis.

I told you all it was woke incompetence that sank that NZ ship.
The ship wasn't responding to the officers attempt to prevent sailing into a reef and running aground because it was on autopilot and they didn't realise.
