people assuming they know something the experts don't that invalidates the results.
Aidan,
So, where were those experts' right then in your opinion ? Got any examples of such success ?

Aidan is just a naysayer, with nothing much to say. Much of the time what he does say is senseless or irrelevant to the subject.

Got it, TTBN...

You got to remember I'm a slow learner with an even lower IQ. But at the risk of repeating myself for others herein - Until and unless we dramatically increase the military strike capacity and strength of our armed services, issues like Climate Change or anything else will simply remain moot.

Forget about purchasing nuclear subs - Lease the same from the US, ASAP! And in so doing, going someway into defending our vast coastline against intruders. I'm positive the United States would be amenable to such a scheme and more than pleased to see Australia shouldering at least part of their own defence responsibility without completely relying on them (the US) for defence.

Yes. We don’t need to repeat the Collins experiment, which was more about job creation than defence.

As if the USA would help defend Australia if China had a go, jeez !
Look how they help Ukraine ?
There's nothing to worry about China until they successfully take back Taiwan !
