I'll send this one to you....Another ex public servant, they always seem to have an axe to grind, or want to still be relevant.
John Laurence Menadue AO is an Australian businessman and public commentator, and formerly a senior public servant and diplomat. He served as Secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet from 1975 to 1976, working under the Whitlam and Fraser governments.
Born: 8 February 1935 (age 87 years), South Australia
Maybe he should send his article to the Canadian media.
Canada locks in deal for 88 F-35 fighters
Lockheed’s fifth-generation F-35 stealth jets are considered the most modern combat aircraft in the world.
Or Maybe these other Countries.
Why the F-35 is at the top of the shopping list for militaries in Europe
For many European countries, choosing the F-35 is as much a geopolitical decision as it is an operational and financial one.www.businessinsider.com
Obsolete....you know the feelingI'll send this one to you....
Australia spent billions on jet fighters off the plan. Now, we’re having trouble even flying them
The myriad problems with Australia’s new fleet of F-35 aircraft mean pilots aren’t getting the flying time they need and the jets themselves are in danger of becoming obsolete.theconversation.com
A little bird tells me you struggle on a scooter let alone a fighter jetWell it shows someone is a good salesman, because they have sold the F-35 to a hell of a lot of countries.
Or that someone isn't happy because the countries didn't buy their fighter, who knows, for every report by a journo there is another report exactly opposite by another journo.
Thankfully I don't give a ratz, I wont be flying a fighter jet.
Maybe we should have bought this one.
Why China's upgraded J-20 stealth fighter still cannot match IAF Rafale's firepower
Although China on Wednesday announced it was pulling back its troops from frontline areas along the LAC but Air Force from both countries continue to bolster their strike capability.www.wionews.com
Or maybe just don't have a military, that would save a packet.
Some US polls seem to be showing that US citizens are not keen for war against China or Russia and don't think they should get involved.
That's a major problem for us long term.
I reckon they owe us a few after two World Wars.Long term, sure. But our treaty arrangements are so fundamental that, if not honored, after that no ally could trust in anything promised by the US.
They are not our OOONLY ally, though. It's not spoken of much at all but I've always believed keeping the Queen (or King) as head of state meaningfully bolsters our national security, more than some paper alliances. It could be more than symbolism if the chips were down. Not only that but, if nothing else, close cultural ties would increase the likelihood they would take many of us in, refugee style, if China made a big move into kangaroo land. There's often a churlish, low intelligence streak in a lot of republican sentiment. A not "getting it", IMHO. Having such a profound connection to the font of western liberal democratic culture would give expansionist types pause for thought. Severing that symbolic relationship makes us look like easier prey. While the UK is no USA, it is also permanent member of the UN Security Council with lotsa nukes handy, if things get too out of hand.
I doubt they give a @#$&I reckon they owe us a few after two World Wars.
US has a habit of backing out of deals. US voter sentiment plays a big part.Long term, sure. But our treaty arrangements are so fundamental that, if not honored, after that no ally could trust in anything promised by the US.

But She'll still vote for him right ?"Scott Morrison not fit to be Prime Minister" says ex Liberal Senator.
If his colleagues don't trust him, why should anyone else ?
Outgoing Liberal senator calls Scott Morrison an 'autocrat and a bully'
Outgoing Liberal senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells takes aim at Prime Minister Scott Morrison, describing him as "a bully with no moral compass" who pretends to be a man of faith.www.abc.net.au
Yes it sounds a bit like the Justin Langer syndrome, he wasn't fit to be coach, but it sounds like England think he might be just what they need. ?Sounds like a disgruntled dis-endorsed MP.
Sounds like a disgruntled dis-endorsed MP.
If she's been publicly ratting the party then her pre-selection is entirely predicable...She could have blamed the pre selection process but instead chose to dump on Morrison, as have others.
To lose one colleague is a misfortune, to lose more looks a bit careless.
He doesn't get along with the women in the Party.Sounds like a disgruntled dis-endorsed MP.
Don't forget Gladys, the female front bencher whose name has been kept quiet, quite a few others especially in NSW do I need to name? He seems to have a problem with the women especially within the Liberal Party. Jackie Lambie and Pauline Hanson also put their boots in yesterday.At least she got the 'mean girls' off the front page, it's all pretty predictable, i wonder if she was paid for the story? ?
The election can't come soon enough, then this pantomime can be over, at last.
Well for another term anyway.
Remember when the media painted Abbott as an attention seeker, for being in the volunteer fire brigade and surf life saving, the media could have actually made a positive out of that, but well that's history and whatever the picture the media paint is the impression the muppets get.He doesn't get along with the women in the Party.
Hanson,
Well let's be honest, both sides have exactly the same issue, it's only the media that wants to give some issues more airplay.Don't forget Gladys, the female front bencher whose name has been kept quiet, quite a few others especially in NSW do I need to name? He seems to have a problem with the women especially within the Liberal Party. Jackie Lambie and Pauline Hanson also put their boots in yesterday.
I don't know why because everyone can see he is really a just a nice daggy Dad fella and not a ruthless psychopathic politician.
