You beat me..does not sound good to me
In 1939, Australia was comfortable with its uk alliance..we got Singapore
Australia to get nuclear-powered submarines, scrap $90b plan to build French-designed subs
The ABC understands Australia will use American and British technology to configure its next submarine fleet in a bid to replace its existing Collins class subs with a boat more suitable to the deteriorating strategic environment.
Subs that run on conventional fuel that can only operate a short time and then have to go back to base are archaic.
sadly a nuclear sub is nearly a joke now, definitively will be in 10/20y;
It is about time someone showed some sense, building diesel subs in 2021 was a dumb call, driven by emotion rather than common sense IMO.
And i would add: building manned submarines in 2021 is a dumb call

Hah! Probably out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Gladys Berejiklian resigns after corruption watchdog announces probe into relationship with Daryl Maguire
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announces her resignation, after the state’s corruption watchdog revealed it was investigating her.
Gladys Finally gone. Good riddance.
Putting on my best shocked and surprised face.
And I was pretty accurate here, as if anyone is surprised by that either.
Just when you thought things couldn't get any loopier.

WA top cop tells bikies to ‘wear makeup’ as club tattoos to be banned in nation-first laws
The laws are a significant step up to the anti-consorting laws that failed to make it through Parliament during the last term of Mark McGowan’s government, before its re-election.www.smh.com.au
The West Australian government will make it illegal for bikie gang members to wear their patches or any other insignia, including tattoos, under tough new laws to be introduced to Parliament this week.
The laws are a significant step up to the anti-consorting laws that failed to make it through Parliament during the last term of Mark McGowan’s government, before its re-election.
In addition to making it illegal for offenders to consort with other bikie offenders, the new laws will include the ability for police to issue notices to gang members to remove any insignia being displayed in a public place.
This law applies to 46 organisations specifically named in the legislation from outlaw motorcycle gangs to “feeder” clubs and smaller street gangs. Insignia means patched vests, flags and even tattoos.
Acting WA Police commissioner Col Blanch told 6PR’s Mornings Program the laws would mean someone such as the heavily tattooed Perth-based Hells Angels bikie Dayne Brajkovich would be forced to cover his Hell’s Angels tattoos with Band-Aids, a mask or makeup.
“He must cover up anything that says ‘1%’ or references the club, whether it’s on his face, whether it’s on publicly displayed arms, or whether it’s on anything – his motorcycle, flag or vest,” Mr Blanch said.
“I would start with things like Band-Aids or makeup certainly or have it removed or alternatively, people can choose the option not to live in Western Australia if this law passes.”
The third aspect of the new laws would give police the power to disperse gang members who gather in public places.
Police can issue a notice to gang members prohibiting them from socialising with other gang members named in the notice for a week.
A breach of the notice can attract a 12-month prison sentence and a fine of $12,000.
“Forty-six organisations, including outlaw motorcycle gangs from right across Australia, their affiliate gangs or ‘feeder clubs’ and street gangs, have been captured and explicitly named in the legislation as part of the new prohibited insignia offence.
“These organisations and their patches are designed to show affiliation with criminality and intimidate others, including law-abiding citizens in our community. This will cease once these laws are in place.”
Opponents of anti-consorting laws across the country say they are inconsistent with basic human rights and open to misuse.
A 2016 report by the New South Wales Ombudsman into that state’s anti-consorting laws found that NSW Police changed the scope of the laws to extend it to all criminal offences rather than just organised crime, which was the original intention of the laws.
The Ombudsman found this left vulnerable populations exposed to the laws, with Aboriginal people making up 44 per cent of the people targeted by the laws when they were being applied by general police officers.
It's funny because it's true. But instructive also.
Alec Baldwin shot a couple of the film crew apparently.
His outspoken stance on gun violence, is certainly going to haunt him, very, very sad.
Cinematographer fatally shot after actor Alec Baldwin discharges prop firearm
The Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office confirmed the actor had discharged the prop firearm, but that no charges have been filed and the investigation is ongoing.
I would post up some of his pizz taking of Trump, regarding gun control, but that would be seen not PC.
