LMAOWe were lucky last weekend, that Scott Morrison wasn't away on holidays and was able to direct people not to take part in the marches.
It would have been disastrous, if he had been away, as he was during the early stages of the bushfires.

Yes you are sooooo right. Labor and the Greens *never ever play BS ideological political crap.Maybe you missed the Coalition playing BS ideological political crap....Corman?
Oh well I guess it has finally come out that the Ruby Princess debacle had nothing to do with ScoMo.I wouldn't give anyone "top marks", because that would require no cases at all and that hasn't happened.
Some lax monitoring at the start probably let a few too many cases through, and the Ruby Princess was a disaster, although we can argue whether that was a State or Federal problem.
It is funny how the State's can ask for Federal assistance when they want it, after the shellacking ScoMo copped from the media over the bushfires incident, one would have thought Federal assistance is only available if offered.
From todays SMH headline:
Coronavirus updates LIVE: Victorian government requests ADF to enforce hotel quarantine as Victoria records 20 new COVID-19 cases, Australian death toll stands at 103
Not one of Morrison's points holds true.On Wednesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison will unveil a greater focus on the Indo-Pacific region, warning Australia needs to prepare for a post-COVID world that is "poorer, more dangerous and more disorderly".
Not one of Morrison's points holds true.
Even after COV19 all the nations to our near north are significantly more wealthy than they were a decade, and were never a real threat then so would be less so now. Furthermore, there is zero evidence that any are "more dangerous" and I have no idea what he means when he calls them "disorderly." The concept of poverty causing danger and disorder at an international level is nowhere supported.
Classic dog whistling.
Everyone with half a brain knows that the only credible threat to Australia would be from China.
The idea China has any desire or need to attack Australia defies logic. Whatever China needs from Australia it can just buy. Moreover, the idea that Australia could actually defend itself from a Chinese attack is fanciful.
It seems that nowadays to win elections you have to "get tough." That means beating up on asylum seekers and any other low hanging fruit plus, with US blessing, China.
We now have a throwback to the 1950s where "communism" is turned into a defacto military threat.
China has enough on its plate internally than to worry about launching an all out attack on other nations.
I agree Rumpy.As far as defense goes, you have to think decades ahead. If there is a capability of another nation that has shown itself to be unfriendly to attack us then you have to do something about it even if it's tiny in comparison to the threat. The citizenry doesn't take kindly to being continually threatened by outside forces and that doesn't make for a productive community.
When they exist (the Mach 15 -20 versions rather than the Russian or Chinese versions) you would not need many. There would be nothing to stop them and they could hit any target on the planet in less than 60 minutes.I did like the sound of the hypersonic weapons, now that's what we need and lots of them, cancel the subs and buy more hypersonic misiles.
We keep pandering to international expertise that sells us off-the-shelf weaponry with billion dollar price tags.
