Re: Australian Nuclear Subs.
I too think that purchasing these subs is a stupid idea from start to finish. All that is going to happen is we are left with the disposal of the waste from them much to the liking of the yanks and poms for sure. Would the money be better spent on manufacturing and building up our own merchant navy under the Oz flag and crews. Anyone take notice of ex PM Keating the other day that explained the waters around Oz are shallow for these subs and anyway they are so large that they can be detected from outer space. He made a lot of sense as far as I go. Just what could 365 billion along with the other 365 billion in stage three tax cuts for the super wealthy go to fixing the infrastructure of Australia. Going to say it again? Australias biggest defence is just simply the size of us. Fact okay? The first invasion of Australia still has not beaten the people that where here before us and they only had spears and diggeridoos. Anyway no one in their right mind would attempt it because our politicians are doing a far better job of doing it to us already. Just got to wait and we will be ripe for the pickings.
While I am on my soap box I have a question? What is the difference of the ICC making Putin a war criminal and overlooking the fact that Bush, Blair and Howard did similar with Iraq and left that country in a complete mess that is still paying the price of their interference and for what? Putin went in to bolster his ego and extend his borders and the other three went in with a bloody great big LIE and the majority of people knew this yet they still went in against millions that protested around the world not to.

That's the way the mop flops.
