With the Subs talk if any country did attack Australia the UK and USA would pretty much automatically offer assistance as well as fairly certainly France and Germany and that right there is four armies in the top sevenish strongest armies in the world backing Australia, as the Australia army would most certainly help them in the same situation. The current threat to Australia from a foreign army would probably be a percentage in the decimal range with a lot of zeros at the front of it. Any significant threat to Australia would pretty much have to occur after a very server shifting in Geo-Poltics into something far less stable. Something that might actually pose that sort of threat would be food/water shortages brought on by climate change/pollution/other. If the other countries which we might expect to aid Australia in a military situation were dealing with their own poo poo then Australia might seem a bit better target, particular for a country that was desperate due to you know mass food/water riots and what not. So basically were buying a bunch of subs in case the world starts to go all mad max. Periphery posted:I have found a solution to the issue of buying expensive military equipment form other countries: Generally I like this far better. Apparently Aircraft carriers can be pretty good in large emergency situations due to having a whole bunch of comes on them (good if your helping out in place who''s communication infrastructure just got hosed over. You can chuck a bunch of rescue/supply helicopters on their, and they often have some great water purifying systems on them (100,000-150,000 gallons a day for some). If we really must have some defensive navy kit, stuff that can help also help out in natural disasters and humanitarian crisis would seem far better as very likely that is all were ever going to use it for. And in news utterly unrelated to aquatic threats, new season of Mad as hell starts May 11th!

ABC: lets see what the general populous who aren't following this budget that carefully thinking about it, by asking two politicians! Talking to marginal seat holding MP's isn't necessarily a bad idea, but that was a really stupid way of seguing to it.

Apparently there's another 1.9 Billion in cuts and around another 1.5 billion in spending that they're going to announce at a later date during the election. So probably some sort of sweetener you would imagine if they're waiting till then.

Also I like how they are hiring 1000 new people for a taskforce to look into Multinationals offshoring after firing 4400 ATO staff over the last 19 months."Canberra times posted:On Thursday, the Community and Public Sector Union told the hearing into corporate tax avoidance Australia's tax collection would be hurt by the workforce reduction – a contrary line to the ATO's official view. One step forward after four and a half back. dr_rat fucked around with this message at 14:21 on May 3, 2016 |
