the Coalition's attempt to politicise our national security
Foxy,
What you call politicising I' call trying to make the voters think for the Nation for a change !

The NT government leased their port to China. Given our shitshow Federation, the federal government couldn't do a thing about it. But, I have to say we should all be embarrassed by Morrison’s barging into workplaces and insulting tradespeople and workers. Having the media following him around doing silly things, reveals him as a bull in a china shop.

While this nonsense is going on, China has committed it's first act of military aggression. It was 'only' a laser? Well, it's not the sort a kid points at someone; it's a military weapon capable of blinding a pilot and interrupting a plane's equipment.

It's time to consider the possibility of a shooting war with China. The CCP ignores international law, conventions and the niceties of civilised behaviour. Given some of the comments here, it won't just be Chinese who will have to be rounded up in the event of war.

“China must understand that such actions will only engender further mistrust” (Penny Wong.

Could we mistrust China any more than we already do. Who ever trusted China - ever! People with their heads in the sand that's who. I doubt that Australians would have woken up if the laser had been a missile.

ttbn,

Well said.

Thank you.

Well said.
Foxy,
Ditto !

ttbn and supporters,
Time to consider a shooting war with China?

One thing, it’d be over quickly and after we got used to the new regime we could enjoy totalitarian bliss, as long as we never complained.

China has more troops having a beer in their local bars at the moment than we have soldiers.
