Australia is extremely vulnerable to the types of missile attacks recently seen in Ukraine. Decision-makers must invest in the right weaponry to boost our defences. | OPINION auspol

. There have been some successes, with many missiles shot down. The Russian air force has also been neutered by the Ukrainian ground-based air defences. But too many Russian missiles and suicide drones still get through.

That’s it. Consequently, Australia has a minimal deterrent against Chinese missile diplomacy. Our nation is entirely open to the coercive military and economic power of these weapons. Given President’s Xi’s consistent messaging about Chinese aspirations for Taiwan and beyond, we can be sure they will use this leverage.There are economically viable remedies available. The Ukrainians have proven that ground-based air and missile defence systems can be very effective.

If this was a civilian apartment building, then yes, it's a terrorist act. But a killing at a military training installation? Oh well. You get that on the big jobs. Will report the killing of 11 russian conscripts in training but totally ignored 122 Australians dead from covid last week, 203 dead w/e 7-11-22, 282 dead w/e 30-9-22, 220 dead w/e 23-9-22, 318 dead w/e 16-9-22.
