That's actually an interesting light in which to consider the candidates. Agree with you. Although I have reservations about Tony Abbott, I'd be happy to depend on him acting in Australia's best interests in a crisis, along with, as you suggest. Howard and Keating. Forget the rest. They are without genuine conviction.Agree.
If there is to be a War, I'd prefer a Keating, Howard or Abbott leading Australia, rather than a Turnbull, Gillard or Rudd.
Conviction, thought, execution and mojo count more in a war than soft spin.

Politics is the art of the possible, the attainable - the art of the next best.
We're appeasing the demands of a minority without getting anything return which allows the radical Muslims to set the agenda. A perfect example was the recent decision by British government no longer to teach the Holocaust in its school system because it offends some Muslims
A report by Britain’s Department for Education and Skills notes that an increasing number of schools are dropping the teaching of the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim students. The report, titled Teaching Emotive and Controversial History, also observes that many teachers are reluctant to discuss the Crusades because the lessons frequently contradict what is taught in local mosques.http://www.examiner.com/article/british-schools-drop-holocaust-from-history-lessons-so-as-not-to-offend-muslims
The TEACH report outlines the sort of good practice in teaching sensitive topics which is available for teachers to share, not least through the Historical Association's programme of subject-specific training.
The Teaching of the Holocaust in English Schools
The Historical Association is disturbed to learn that false and misleading claims about the teaching of the Holocaust are being made on the internet to the effect that English schools are being discouraged from teaching about the Holocaust in case it might offend Muslim pupils or their parents. These claims appear to have their origin in a serious misreading of the Association's 2007 report on the teaching of emotive and controversial issues in history (TEACH).
These claims are not true.
There is therefore no basis whatever for claiming that the Holocaust has in any way been removed from or downgraded within the secondary school history curriculum.
Many historical topics, including the Crusades, the Transatlantic Slave Trade or the Arab-Israeli conflict, can be considered emotive and controversial. The TEACH report found, in interviews with teachers carried out before 2007, that some teachers sometimes feel uncertain how best to approach such topics in such a way as to do the topics justice while respecting the feelings of particular groups of pupils. At no point did any teacher interviewed for the TEACH report claim to have avoided teaching about the Holocaust at Key Stage 3 for fear of offending Muslim children.

We have all imagined that world war three will be fought between superpowers with nuclear weapons.
Perhaps not. Perhaps it has already started,a war of attrition and will between politico-religious ideologies irrespective of state, rather than started off opposing purely political ideologies.
I think it is unfolding whilst the MSM is focused on Trump

Russian military experts have threatened the United States and asked it to be prepared for World War 3 to commence soon.
The tension between Russia and the US has been increasing, with a series of attacks and counter-attacks taking place between them. America has also accused the former of “war crimes” in Syria earlier that escalated the bitterness between the two nations, which continued to exist after the Cold War. At the moment, both the nations are experiencing the same level of tension that they used to have during the Cold War.
Where America is blaming Russia for the Syria conflict, Russia has accused the US of “unprecedented threats” and “borderline insolence” on Sunday. This has come following the failure of attempts of talks on the ceasefire in Syria.
“The threats directed against Moscow and our state’s leadership are unprecedented because they are voiced at the level of the US vice president,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said as quoted by The Daily Star Online. “To the backdrop of this aggressive, unpredictable line, we must take measures to protect our interests, to hedge risks.”
On the other hand, Russian military official Lt General Yevgeny Buzhinsky has claimed that the West nations were provoking their anger. “Of course there is a reaction. As far as Russia sees it, as Putin sees it, it is full-scale confrontation on all fronts. If you want a confrontation, you’ll get one,” he said. “But it won’t be a confrontation that doesn’t harm the interests of the United States. You want a confrontation, you’ll get one everywhere.”
Russia has become one of the major threats for not only the United States as far as World War 3 is concerned but also a danger for the rest of the world. The actions and reactions, all indicating international conflict, have alarmed nations worldwide, making them prepare for the next conflict that will go down in history.

Not looking good in my view.
What's the source of this ridiculous scare mongering?? Or is this someone's opinion??
Russian rumors of permanent military presence in Middle East
On Friday, the Kremlin announced that Putin just ratified an agreement with Syria that allows Russia to use one of its air bases indefinitely, creating a more permanent Russian presence in the Middle East. Russia also announced last week plans to build a permanent naval base in the Syrian port town of Tartus. (The Jerusalem Post)
As mentioned in my previous article, Russia also announced during the prior week that it would start shooting down any unidentified jets flying over Syria. These would most likely be US stealth bombers. In response, the UK ordered Royal Air Force pilots to shoot down any Russian jets flying over Syria and Iraq if they feel endangered by them — pilot’s discretion. “We now have a situation where a single pilot, irrespective of nationality, can have a strategic impact on future events.” (Zero Hedge)
