  • Former Army chief Peter Leahy says the government has “no money” to better protect its vulnerable military bases and ADF personnel.
    “We’ve seen testimonies and Senate Estimates just recently where defence officials said they had to reprioritise money and the budget and do this Joint Air Battle Management System in two parts,” he told Sky News host James Macpherson.
    “First one is to get the brains and then wait for the technology to catch up - doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.”

    In the land where sunlit beaches gleam,
    Where eucalyptus sway and dream,
    A shadow creeps, a dark foreseen,
    As Albanese sleeps, it seems.
    Our proud defense, once fierce and grand,
    Now rusts and crumbles in his hand.
    No funds to shield our steadfast land,
    As threats encroach on every strand.
    Leahy’s cry, a clarion call,
    Echoes through the Senate hall.
    “Our bases weak, our forces small,
    No money left to stand up tall.”
    “Reprioritize,” they coldly say,
    Split plans in two, and thus delay.
    First the brains, then tech someday,
    A strategy that’s bound to stray.
    With budgets slashed, our strength depleted,
    Promises of power defeated.
    Inaction leaves us all mistreated,
    Our nation’s safety uncompleted.
    Oh, Albanese, hear the plea,
    From those who guard both land and sea.
    Restore our might, our sovereignty,
    Or face the wrath of history.
    For when the rust has turned to dust,
    And all our weapons seized by rust,
    The blame will fall, as it is just,
    On leaders who betrayed our trust.

    Everyone other than a few senior airhead politicians, public servants & Defence personnel know that Switchblade 300 drones are scarcely more lethal than a spider bite. In the early stages of the Ukraine war, these were proved to be totally ineffective, however this hasn't stopped the Aussie Defence Muddle Heads from spending nearly $25 million on acquiring these duds. More worrying is the $3.5 BILLION these same airheads are spending on acquiring 75 Abrams tanks from the US... similar to those that are being blown sky high in Ukraine with a commercially-available $500 drone with a low-tech RPG zip-tied its underside. "Slow learners" would be a blessing in Aussie Defence. "No learners" are the problem.
