Former prime minister Tony Abbott has issued a statement after this morning's submarine announcement.

Hugh White, a professor of strategic studies at Canberra's Australian National University, has warned it will make Australia more reliant on the US in the decades to come. “It does, I think, show just how seriously America is taking the need to muscle up in the Asia-Pacific region,” he said. “In the escalating rivalry between America and China, we're siding with the United States and we're betting they're going to win this one."

Have to make the numbers higher for the next few days because announcements & so-called 'easing' of restrictions are due, so they'll invent 500 cases a day so they can keep the lockdown & restrictions in place, can't do that if the real number of lack of cases was released.

Who wants submarines. For gods sake. So old world.
