Analysts have described Australia’s $270 billion defence strategy, which they have said is aimed at countering the rise of China, as a “serious and sobering” wake-up call.
This will expand moves to acquire sophisticated maritime long-range missiles, air-launched strike and anti-ship weapons, and additional land-based weapons systems. “This is the world that we're heading into - it's going to be a dangerous one and the risk of flashpoints in a number of locations is definitely getting greater.”In his speech at theMr Morrison said the strategic environment and heightened risk of miscalculation had made it vital for Australia to respond with credible military force.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison also pointed to rising territorial claims on the disputed border between India and China, the South China Sea and East China Sea in his speech.
China is preparing for war. With China’s new laws means China is worried about their own people. China is worry outsiders will encourage dissidents. China’s law will gather HK dissidents as canon fodder. China’s law will be used for their sham war criminal court rulings.
Warning! China is preparing for war. With China’s new laws means China is worried about their own people. China is worry outsiders will encourage dissidents. China’s law will gather HK dissidents as canon fodder. China’s law will be used for their sham war criminal court rulings.
Good will and mutual understanding is better than any weapon when dealing with a large and powerful country.
China is increasing its military spending AFTER Increasing its Middleclass by 700 MILLION Australia is Increasing it’s Military Spending by REDUCING Its Middleclass
No shit Sherlock
Auspol have continually reduced their influence in the Pacific by cutting foreign aid and by their attitude to Islanders concern on climate change making it easier for China to increase their influence.
Is this what voters in Eden Manaro worried about? I must be way out of touch
This photo looks like goatse but somehow they shopped the dudes taint to be even uglier
This is a War, take no prisoners... destroy China, smash North Korea, send black immigrants back, and send the greens + LGTB to Nauru.
Use the money to build a strong economy in Australia, so that Australian can shake off the dependence on China. It's wired to see au wants china $$ but also want to fight against China at the same time.
People comparing defense budgets and lethal power etc. are forgetting that democratic forces of the world including nato PMOIndia POTUS are standing by to cover anytime they attack Australia. Did we question Tibet annexation to China? Do we question attack against India ?
Australia needs a strategy. Let us all be fair. To survive in this cannibalistic world, you need alliances. You can't be the butt of the joke to say that you will be the last country taken by CCPChina I fully endorse Scomo in making a start. United we stand Divided we fall.
Are the Analysts SBS speculators?
What promises to Trump were made for the invite to WH?
China is not even bordered with Australia. Even you don’t agree with CCP, you don’t need a war. People die, people’s lives are treasured, don’t send Young soldiers to the war
China is not our enemy, and the world is not more dangerous. This is just American war rhetoric.
We will become the 51th state of America eventually. Why not we Australia to build our own missile now instead of relying on US.
.o its clearly another planned war to lower population and make money. Anyone who participates is guilty.
Be united in the fight against the evil communist
Waste of money but then again they can just borrow and print as much as they want! Why do we pay tax again? This world is fucked!
Threats have come from our north before. Many people gave their lives to save us. Nothing wrong with being prepared.
If he’s buying the weapons off Trump it’s an arse-kissing exercise
SBS, What a useless bunch of --------- The government is spending the money to defend this country, because if they don't and we get invaded by the fucking Chinese, you lot of losers go down as well, do you understand that?
Gates are open Scotty .. you let them buy up big here in Australia
Absolute crap is all that is,
Stop the Chinese from buying our land, our businesses, our farms, our dairy, and create our own industries instead of importing cheap Chinese goods, also ban all infants formulas being sent to China buy Chinese gangs, actually tell them all to piss off.
Joking right? China is a nuclear power a few long range missiles is not going to deter them :) ScottyFromMarketing
Trump speaks to Scomo asking for re-election help, then Marise Payne opens her mouth. And China was insulted. Next you hear is we’re muscling up and won’t surrender. And now ppl are talking ww3 FFS! Sack Morrison sack Trump. And we can go back to treating others as people again.
But 270b is tooooo much.
There is no way Australia can battle with China. Instead of spending too much money on defense, provide aid to the neighboring countries and keep them on your side. China is aggressively moving towards Asia-Pacific nations to make them allies.
how about you stop china buying Australian properties, businesses, water supplies and what not.. Weapons ain't gona stop the take over from the inside..
Wasn't this defence expenditure announced some months ago? Our defence spending is supposed to be around 2% GDP, so this announcement is non-news and probably designed to show a vote winning, tough-on- China stance for the by-election. More a media release that news
Meanwhile our disadvantaged keep suffering, our job seekers keep being abused, our asylum seekers keep dying. ScottyFromMarketing LNPfail auspol
Well, let’s assume that we did have a spat with China, would we have enough bullets? They have a very big defence force.
What I don’t understand is, they want a court case in private citing “national security”, then publicly, with fanfare, unveils a near $300 billion order for missiles..... Nothing like boasting about your planned arsenal...instead of diplomatically easing tensions....
Morrison hasn't even delivered on the Submarines he promised when his pet poodle pyne was on the front bench.
Afraid we’re gonna need a decent stockpile of nukes to deter China. Anything else won’t cut it.
Now that's leadership.
will end up with a big slice of the world weapons pie!
While we sell them real estate.
The reason is Trump said China is your enemy and you must buy my weapons. If a war really happens tell me how 23mil population against 1.3billion? and then expect the US will cross the ocean to save Australia?
China spends $220 bilion a year, so how does spending the same amount over 10 years “counter” China?
Avid SBS followers can be put on boat & dragged out to sea where they be of some kind of use when it all hits the fan. Ill be quite happy to press the buttons when needed, although we might end up re colonised again, at least we will already have some signs they can read 😂😜
What a terrific idea - we should so spend a lot more on defense so we can defeat China if it came to that. Great thinking!
Obviously. And why not? They routinely steal our intellectual property and have absolute zero remorse in doing so. And penalties? Lol. China is part of the New World Orders plan, Australia is not. That’s why were being sold to them. And why we need to defend ourselves from them.
Reannouncement... no new funding here. He’s obviously making an announcement to make it look like he’s doing something before this weekends Eden monaro election.
And being abandoned by allies. The US will eventually draw back from Australia. We should prepare to stand alone.we cant right now.
Yeah that'll do it.
No one here will see the obvious give away, this shit has been planned for some time (hint, do you have any idea how long it takes to get a policy document to the print stage, and he's holding two).
China does not share our values - democracy, freedom, and the rule of law ... We see this in HongKong, where the new security law undermines its autonomy. The world must stand with freedom loving people in HongKong or elsewhere in the world. BoycottChina
Chinese hate sunburn, unlike Westerners such as PM ScoMo's ancestors, who haved invaded Australia since first contact with West with us Blackfella natives! Doesn't make sense!
Counter the rise of China in the region? We are so gunna need a bigger boat!
Good Judgement by the PM. Its called vision. Id like to see the same preventative outlook to ensure water stability in this dry land. Sco Mo has the potential to be the PM for the next 10 if he does.
damn
Thank you ScottMorrisonMP ✔️✔️
