Diver Dan rightly raises the problem of getting the personnel to man naval vessels. With the Ben Roberts-Smith persecution back on the agenda, with his trial tipped to drag out over 5 years, there won’t be too many young Australians rushing to join up. All those immigrants replacing Australians? They will hotfoot it back to their shiteholes of origin at the first threat of war or conscription.

Governments cannot treat Australians the way they have over the last 30 years and expect these same people to protect a country that they no longer feel is their own. The current government in particular prefers immigrants to locals.

On the business of people starving in the streets, I’m not sure that this is genuine. The idea that people are finding it hard to ‘put food on the table’ is broadcast to us, on TV, by paid actors.

The latest advertisement, authorised by Twiggy Forest’s outfit has these actors moaning about the diesel subsidies for mining companies, which they think should be subsidising their inability to manage their own affairs. If the Albanese government did decide to stop the subsidies, they would waste it like they waste all the other money they rob from taxpayers.

Given the latest polls on our disgraceful politicians, the hoi polloi might be waking up at last: too late in my opinion.

"they (government) would waste it like they waste all the other money they rob from taxpayers." like paying AGED WELFARE to non contributing, non productive Old Farts.

Hi AC,

"not loyalty to any mob" What's wrong with MOB RULE, a bit of looting and rioting, it fills in the hour of news with feel good stories between 'Blankety Blanks' at 5 o'clock and 'The Real Housewives Of Hollywood' at 7pm. What more could you ask for?

Australia has not had any problems manning its naval forces in the past, and won't in the future. Indeed, at the moment they have more people applying to join the navy than positions available. Remember also that these are 21st century vessels that are increasingly automated and require fewer on-board crew. This is especially so as regards the frigates being purchased from Japan, a country that has faced the problems of a declining population for more than a generation and is well versed in automation both in manning and building these vessels.

I wonder how many people under the Albanese authoritarian yoke realise that in Australia, publicised arrests such as the Ben Roberts-Smith spectacle are deliberate and part of the system. In the U.S. this type of behaviour is banned.

In Australia, in the case of BRS, the AFP invited the media to attend the arrest and broadcast it. BRS had volunteered to hand himself in, but no: the arrest, at an airport (must have been on the lam, so must be guilty) is part of the Australian "justice" system.

Remember Cardinal Pell being pushed through the the mad mobs to the court every day when he could have gone in the back way?

BTW, the Commissioner of the wonderful Australian Federal Police behind this is the same Commissioner who announced that Islamic terrorism (Bondi) had nothing to do with religion! How credible is she? How good is her judgement?

Mhaze,

Yes. Automation could be the answer, if there is enough of it, and it is available before it is too late. Any figures you have on the ease that the navy is having with recruitment would be interesting.

All I have seen is from the MSM advising that frigates are laid up due to lack of crew.

And, people are not keen on being submariners.

As far as I know, the Shark is the only uncrewed vessel on the horizon.
