So I suppose you drive a Renault.lol
So that holds true if I vote for Albo? You really are a dick.lol
It's Saturday why arn't you at bowls
He may be still in hospital ?
Not to mention 11 energy policies and a climate policy written on the back of an envelope after a dressing down by world leaders including Biden and Boris.
Just out of interest who ordered these seasprite choppers?@ humid Just in the interest of conversation, I thought I would look up the helicopter issue you mentioned.
Apparently it isn't uncommon for Governments to cancel contracts, Kevin Rudd did exactly the same thing in 2008, on the grounds they were unsafe and not fit for purpose.
So now we move onto the Morrison cancellation, apparently the door openings are too small for the machine guns to give adequate range of movement to protect personel rope reppalling from the aircraft also they have been expensive to operate and maintain apparently.
So now they are going to do the sensible thing, bite the bullet and buy off the shelf helicopters with a proven track record, and extensive after sales service, makes sense really the Taipans probably should never have been bought in the first place.
Dumping the ADF’s MRH-90 helicopters is the right call, but why now? | The Strategist
The sad saga of the MRH-90 Taipan helicopter has been running for a long time. Back when I worked in the Department of Defence, we used to occupy ourselves from time to time calculating how ...www.aspistrategist.org.au
While on the subject of cancellations we may as well get onto the subs, the French subs a Malcolm Turnbull brain fart, poor old Mal wants to be green but can't man up to the decision to go nuclear and still wants to be seen to be the man, so instead of buying off the shelf diesel subs from Japan( which Abbott had set up) he does a weird agreement with France to supply nuclear subs converted to diesel subs.
How he thought he was going to have effective deterrent subs with diesel propulsion in 2040 is anyones guess, let alone explain to people why they have to stop using fossil fueled transport, yet they are spending billions buying fossil fueled subs.
So the whole project was a disaster from go to whoa, if the contract had been continued Australia would have paid a fortune for subs that may as well be delivered straight to the tip, but many are saying that would be a better outcome, than cancelling the contract and buying clean propulsion, state of the art attack submarines which are compatible with those our allies use. Most probably think it was a sensible move.
The morning after: Australia, Japan, and the submarine deal that wasn't
Barely had the visiting Japanese submarine, JS Hakuryu, departed Sydney Harbour on 26 April than Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced to the media that Australia’s future submarines would be built by the French contractor, DCNS Group. A week prior to Turnbull’s announcement, the...bellschool.anu.edu.au
So now we move onto your other gripes, the idiots in power, being objective and just looking at outcomes without political bias or tribalism, what has happened since the Morrison government has come into office.
Covid caused a massive shutdown of just about all aspect of our economy, how did we go from a voters perspective? Keeping in mind voters have a very short memory.
The ASX is at all time highs one year after a GFC event.
Australians have more savings now then ever before.
We have one of the lowest death rates from covid in the World.
We have one of the highest vaccination rates in the World.
So that is what Albo is up against, the things in Albo's favour are IMO, the Coalition looks completely worn out, they are riddled with scandal and there is no way the changes that are needed in our fiscal, social, agricultural and industrial spaces can be achieved by the Coalition.
So really it is just a case of it's time for change IMO.
Obviously some other idiot, we seem to have a bottomless pit of them, in Canberra.
I wonder how much say the military hsve on defence purchases or whether its left to the accountants.
It would be interesting to know, there seems to be an awful lot of really bad purchases made, to me it seems sensible to buy what has a good track record, good backup and is compatible with your allies so that parts would be interchangeable in battle field. it would simplify the supply chain heaps.

There are a few caveats in that article and I think there are a few other vectors apart from actual taxation rates in the near term.Taxes always higher under Labor ?
No.
Fact check: Are the two highest-taxing governments of the past 30 years both Coalition governments?
Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the two highest-taxing governments of the past 30 years have been Coalition governments, including the current one. Is that correct? RMIT ABC Fact Check investigates.

Labor needs to brown nose the Chinese to get relations back. I'd rather see trade then US warmongering.
