The government this week announced a $3 billion investment in new cutting-edge equipment for Australia’s elite Special Forces. ‘We do need to spend money on operations, equipment and capabilities… but some of the spending on ships, aircraft, inquiries and projects is nonsense,’ he told Sky News. Following a round table hosted by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs Secretary, Mr Kolomeitz said he believed the department was ‘putting veterans back in veterans’ affairs’.

Farage is leading our country out of a dictatorship, the only mess is being caused by the establishment who are fighting against our country. The mess being the democratic vote the British people had? Yeah, can’t have that

Signs Australia is ‘importing’ toxicity of US public debate | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says the “toxicity of political debate” in the United States is “palpable” with signs Australia is “importing” some of the attitude.\n\nMr Kenny criticised the media for blaming US President Donald Trump for two recent mass shootings in the country.\n\nThe media often “prefers to fuel rather than soothe” such toxicity, he said.\n\nImage: AP Unless you're going to blame every other president for the shootings on their watch, it's a pretty stupid argument.

Australia must not 'concede ground' to China | Sky News AustraliaAustralia must be prepared to take a short-term economic hit in order to stand up to China's growing authoritarian influence in the Asia-Pacific, according to security expert John Blaxland.\n\nLiberal MP Andrew Hastie drew the ire of the Chinese embassy last week when he warned Beijing posed an unprecedented economic and national security threat to Australia.\n\nWhile Trade Minister Simon Birmingham rebuked the comments, Labor MP Anthony Byrne said many parliamentarians “shared” Mr Hastie’s concerns about China’s growing authoritarian influence in the Asia-Pacific.\n\nProfessor Blaxland told Sky News Beijing was “throwing its weight around” in order to silence critical voices.\n\nHe said Australians could not “back down” when it came to its “willingness to support the United States and its objections to China’s actions in the South China sea'. The world is sitting idly by while this continues too escalate! 25 million Australians don’t have the scale to stand up to 1.3 billion Chinese. What we can do is offer advice and counsel, attempt to influence through our democratic way of life and work with the China and other govts in SE Asia to promote peace and harmony in the region. We helped them to build their muscles and now we are concerned when they flex them.
