Paul Keating keeps beating on about "security in Asia" but kind of ignores China's expansion with the South China Sea with is causing major hostility with all the countries in the area against China. Asia isn't some sort of monolithic bloc. I linked this a while ago that explains how Australia's defense posture is thought on a geopolitical scale. Also Paul Keating doesn't speak for all of Asia and the reactions have been mixed about the sub deal from different Asian countries.

Recoome posted:I’ll tell ya, this is a bit of a creative interpretation of what happened in East Timor. hooman posted:I'm no Keating fan, but on this he's right. We can have a defensive posture that isn't funnelling money into US weapons manufacturers. How are those F-35s going? What defensive posture would you suggest? Keating isn't taking into account expansionist policies pursued by China and this will alienate Australia if we follow his advice. Yeah, Australia has had lovely foreign policy(especially E.Timor) in the past but that doesn't mean much larger countries can't be worse than us.

Capt.Whorebags posted:The last decisive victory was what, WWII? I don't think you could call skirmishes in Somalia, Balkans, Grenada etc "wars" as such. hooman posted:Is there any amount of military procurement that will result in Australia winning a war with China? hooman posted:I guess this is fundamentally a philosophical question rather than a policy one. Either we throw billions at weapons at the beck and call of the US to aid their posturing against China, or we say "lol" and keep good trade and relations with China and act as an economic partner (note partner) in South East Asia.

hooman posted:This is my point. Our defensive strategy relies not on military procurement but on creating strong bonds with nations that could crush us, so that they have an incentive to protect us if someone else decides to get grabby. With that in mind why are we only yoking ourselves to the US and why are we funnelling huge amounts of money to them while antagonising China?

hooman posted:Thanks, I missed that in the thread and will hunt it down and give it a read. This is an actually persuasive argument about our security position, dealing with economic and political realities rather than Booo China bad, USA GOOD FREEDOM DEMOCRACY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVqGEtPj0M0 This video is about the defense of small nations and he covers all the different aspects of how a small country has to solve its security dilemmas, it is applicable to Australia though. The video is him just talking over powerpoint slides for a hour but don't let that deter you. He is really good at it and by the end you will understand why.

Nevertheless the newspapers succeeded on a contextual truth defence and their publication of the allegation did not defame him Oh god.

The Lord Bude posted:The Gold Coast is pretty much the worst place in the country. Not just in terms of politics or demographics but to visit as well. A lot of the northern Gold Coast reminds me of a 80s Miami aesthetic and the 80s for that matter which I hate. Although I have good memories of the place since my family would rent out places on the beachfront places at Tugun and Bilinga during school holidays. There are so many nicer beaches though nearby.

I remember years ago in a forgotten Auspol thread someone posted a question to Noel which was literally "My wife and I are retired and we have a little over a million in savings and an investment property in addition to the home we live in. How can we get by on our pension?" This has the same wonderful energy. I am sure JBP has an excellent take on this financial matter.

Sausage sizzle at my polling place in Moreton electorate. I had a dude vote before me and he was wearing brown slacks, RM Williams, a boring rear end button up white collared shirt with vertical stripes and an Akurbra hat. He brought his toddler daughter along and she was wearing a Yes vote t-shirt. Completely unsurprising.

Not really surprising, at least it will give time for the new premier to settle in before the next election to trounce the LNP again. Maybe we will get another election where Labor loses a another seat or 2 to the Greens while Labor picks up the same amount from the LNP.

The Lord Bude posted:and you drive around on local roads in such an appalling state of repair that they wouldn’t look out of place in Nigeria, in between trips on private for profit roads and tunnels. I spent $115 in tolls on a recent road trip I did (hunter valley and Sydney) and I was in Sydney Literally from mid Sunday to Mid wednesday. Lots of local roads in Brisbane are poo poo too. Brisbane is a clean city which is great.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:No, I'm saying they never faced genocide by the PRC. The Chinese did exactly what they said they were doing, teaching people various trades and a second language to remove barriers to employment and revitalise the economy of Xinjiang. And it worked. Not even ASPI is bothering to peddle Xinjiang stories now. Holy poo poo.
