Congratulations on your sharply focussed, calm and persistent questioning. Minister Wong’s obvious discomfort under your questioning speaks volumes.
She's not at all uncomfortable. She's giving measured answers to the questions. She is not the defence minister.
Just imagine you in Malaysian parliament in same role it's ludicrous ridiculous and CCP treason ffs she/he has no clue so why is he/she here????? She/he is an implant get him/her out now charge with treason how much more do we have to put up with here and whyyyyyyy is this other pudgy dumpy woman there to not answer another question are they all just so incompetent we see you trans visibility Wong Australia certainly sees you !!!!.Loud and clear
Australians need a security force to protect them from worthless goverments.
Thank you Senator David Fawcet. Facinating insight into the shallowness of Ms Wong and the well paid crew.
I don't think Penny Wong cares much about Australia's security in relation to trade routes.She is more concerned in getting Palestinian refugees into universities .
All they need was O'Neil to complete the absolute numptys pack
The fact that the minister can’t answer questions just shows how incompetent she is and the Labor government in many areas
The Wong is always Wrong
Buddy this is all governments. They all talk around the topic without answering yes or no.
Penny rudely interrupted stating she is the minister and has a right to answer the question that was not directed at her, babbled on and didn’t answer the question, was she just attempting to cover for their incompetence, her arrogance is astounding, and her attempts at belittling David is pathetic. Thankyou David for remaining composed and steadfast against these bullies and their intimidation tactics.
Totally agree 😂
Truly vile beastly women
He had to dumb the question down for them and they still couldn’t answer it without being emotional and pathetic
Only way to get rid of the incompetence of this Labor government is to vote them out
Yes, we're sorry to, that you're on the bench 😢
Why is one left always with a feeling of exasperation when dealing with minsters.
Jobs on merit. What is on display is ignorance by the current government appointees.
Do not talk down to or try to evade the questions, as advised by Albo. Senator David Fawcett is on a far superior level than this arrogant Minister or the overpaid Public Servants.
This is a good example of what happens when DEI rules are applied.
Should take a look at the LNP DEI attempt. Sussan Ley, scream Cash, Bridget McKenzie?
Asian fishery organisations fail to respect our borders by illegally fishing in our waters & Barrier reef yet Australian fishers are having licences livelihoods & places cancelled
Is this what I am hearing ?
The dept waits for NATO to tell them what to do and say - so why don’t we get to vote who NATO is if that’s who we take our riders from ?
The diversion and obfuscation techniques used in answering questions is mindboggling and if gives the impression that the Labor government doesn't know what it is doing.
Well, they don't
Those women have no idea, waste of time
This is our department of foreign affairs and trade oh myyyyyyyy gawdddddddd
Totally inadequate ministerial leadership
You ask good questions and you do it politely, Thanks! ... Shame about the stonewalling though
How can we feel safe when our own government dodges giving answers and is on the defensive ?
"What specifically are you doing diplomatically for the Australian's and our mining to protect them from foreign interests?" "We are working with the world to work better with the world"
The best we can do as a nation is to vote out all incompetent labor leaders of our great nation we can’t afford to live due to the incompetence of state and federal governments don’t forget badly state labor governments of Victoria Queensland and Western Australia managed Covid
Wing should look people in the eye when “answering “
Funny, my years of school doing ‘comprehension’, says the last question is about diplomacy not defence. It’s not a defence question. It was a defence insult. Defence still won’t be able to answer the question.
And FYI what is with all the young Asian recruits to Australia's military defence???? Just go down to Chatswood, NSW, regularly and you will see nothing BUT young Asians in military wear with red berets
Cadets.
@@XxBloggs duuuuhhhhhh recruits!!!!
We store on shore virtually no oil or other essential imports. We own no tankers so in a conflict we would be abandoned. We are led by idiots at best. I am not permitted to to say anything stronger
The Australian voter has led us to this place, this country is done without a fight.
Just answer the questions not b# s#
How does he know it was a Russian mine,Ukraine placed mines in the ports and parts of the black Sea.
Hows about all able migrants do National Service! There's 500,000 of them comming in to Australia.
Thank you Senator David Fawcett who really cares about Australia and demonstrates enormous respect to those who showed little. I understand your question, which is basically saying Department of Defence and DFAT both have a role in protecting Australia, DOD does that militarily, and DFAT does it via diplomacy and foreign relations. What has DFAT done to protect Australia through their activities?
Until Australia gets rid of CASG and their useless processes we will always lack current and effective military capability. I worked nearly 40 years in defence industry in the UK and Australia, 15 in Australia where I witnessed the most horrific waste of resources in the Air, Land and Sea domains, worse than the UK. Primarily caused by the DMO now CASG. For us to have an effective defence they have to go.
What would you recommend other than CASG ? (i just looked them up to see what they are about)
@@Floormassacred Thanks for asking all we need is good lawyers writing availability contracts that lock the defence companies into providing the capability to the ADF, much like we did in the UK and has been done in a small way with the RAAF. CASG has no incentive to make a decision and is highly inefficient in supporting the forces. I have seen it first-hand on many Australian programs, mostly land and sea-related.
Senatr WOng needs to stop wasting time....woffle woffle woffle
Another Russian bot. You can't spell, Boris.
She/he can't put a sentence together just rehearsed nonsense that sounds like a bad ESL class 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Penny’s just saying, “we’ll build a world of our own that no one else can share, all our troubles we’ll leave them behind us there.”
Onya Penn😂
We can't afford to get this Wong 😮😂😂
Nobody knows 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey David how many of your kids are in the defence force?
Just because Senator Wong doesnt go around slagging off at our major trading partner.
Utopia covered this paradox in one episode - we have to keep our shipping lanes open and safe from our greatest perceived adversary. And our biggest trading partner is ...???
Is the question asked being answered or do we just get the marketing spin from DFAT?
Time for defense to step up less talk and more work including rebuilding ADI getting rid of foreign influence!
Australian senators needs to grow some balls and be bold like the US congress. Amazing how Penny just boss him around!!
I've seen a cornered cat with that look :-)
Forget the fact that the mines floating in the Ukraine are old Ukraine mines that Russia offered to clear.
Australia has enjoyed generations of prosperity so where is the defence capability to show for all this wealth?
Governments in this country on both sides of politics are elected and then promise all sorts of outcomes, only to do nothing while they serve out their time in office before passing the problem on to the next government who then repeat the same process. Labour sat on the submarine question when they were last in office for six years and did nothing before passing it on to the Coalition government who then lost another nine years. That is why we won't have any submarines to replace the Collins class until the 2040’s.
Words mean nothing, anyone can say words. What matters in the end is real military capability which is why China is busily arming itself today. We have been badly served by both sides of politics in this country.
I agree with most of that. No point in accumulating assets if they can just be taken off you, due to poor defence systems
BS again and again and again
What's important is how the government is going to respond to my many questions when the time comes. It will be broadcasted live for all to see. My questions will revolve around the technological Network that is currently in use and hidden. It's completely ungodly and I'm ashamed that even I used it. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I guess even ASIO will tell me: "What choice did we have?" But I say we did have a choice. I will prove it. I left the Orders and now I'm going to tell it all as it is.
The world is teetering on another World War. We are in a very vulnerable position with no good standing army a weak northern border defence with foreign people able to sail here and land very successfully. If we do not help our Aboriginal People up North to guard the border to also provide stronger border forces on the coastlines we are inviting trouble. We need to steer clear of getting involved too much with Europe problems and find a safe way to travel in safer waters instead of putting our forces in harms way which we dont even have many off. Its not China to worry about the problem is a multitude of problems if War breaks out and our cities attacked we dont have help coming down here we are on our own. It stands to reason to start to increase our protection of borders our Military and increase the protection of our internet after last weeks stuff up. Otherwise we see possible serious consequences down here in Australia if we are not prepared. which we are not. Senator Wong and her cabinet need to pull there fingers out of their purses and get cracking on defence which obviously we dont have much off the stick we had is broken fix it...
This senator really did just stand in the way and ask to get walked on by Ms Wong
Penny Wong INBARESTED AUSTRALIA AS WELL BY OFFENDING OUR ALI ISRAEL
Should be more worried about the security implications of Katie and Andrew Barrs tram ….. just sayin’ ….
CMET isn’t it?
This is so wong
You might need a chalk board next time and draw a diagram or something.. maybe employ some sort of interpreter even 🤪
The NIEVETY of these Women is DANGEROUS.
Your lack of spelling skills is DANGEROUS.
I’ve been listening to Penny Wongs crap for two years now and have come to a very simplistic conclusion which I’m sure no one else has seen that she only works for money and doesn’t like Australia. I may be wrong
In other words their not doing much to keep australia safe
Wong out! Asap
What will Australia do if we are in trouble ???... Ring the UK and USA, get the hell over here and save our Arses.. that's why the AUKUS deal is $370 billion for $60 billion worth of subs...6 subs....
The answer is no , words are cheap it is action that is meaningful, but hard. No not true Labor has been doing a policy of appeasement with China. Not to say anything to but China off side.
I thought THAT ALL THE SAE MINES FROM WOLD WAR 1 AND 2 WERE ALL DEACITIVED
Close the borders.
WHAT ABOUT HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER
Wong you are naive , talk is cheap .Two wrongs does not fix the problem. Stop playing politics.
Folks were in a dangerous position and our politicians are incompetent and have got us in this position to begin with . All the rubbish talk won't help us when war ships start coming into our waters aggressively launching rockets at cities and infrastructure.
All that march in solidarity garbage won't help . Trained and fully equiped and expanded military navy and airforce ,including equipment and installations and large stockpiles of ammunition, will help us.
Expanding our capabilities to make weapons vehicles, rockets, jets, sea vessels, etc, is where we need to be right now.
With the coal fires cranking to make it happen asap . All the talk , all the redirect, all the fanciful visions of nuclear power 10 years from now, or green energy targets is a pipe dream by some inbecile who is out of touch with reality and putting us into an even more dangerous position.
These people got behind the ball and let our let us become sitting ducks while they worried more about allowing foreigners flood our shores , and while they been selling out our ports and our country to the highest bidder .
Thinking hand shakes and money making is going to save the day .
Wong at least look at people you are talking to so don’t be throughly rude.
"Only Trump could go to Nth Korea!" Recommend re-acquainting yourselves with the STILL potent and most relevant ANZUS Treaty, which states, "The Parties to this Treaty, Reaffirming their faith in the purposes & principles of the Charter of The U.N, desiring to live in Peace with all peoples & all Govts, & desiring to strengthen the fabric of Peace..."
ANZUS is dead and buried. Even though it hasn’t officially been terminated the US suspended it’s treaty obligations towards NZ in 1986. The Australia - US alliance remains in full force.
@@garyhankinson5695 read "threats to Australia's Security". Joint Parliamentary Committee 1981, paragraphs 39 & 40 (F. A & Def) are of keen interest. Its alive, its potency is more than real, its ""genuine", 3rd Millennium compatible (as demonstrated by Pres Bush 9/11), and binding!
@@garyhankinson5695 and it surprises me how ppl such as yourself miss the main points in the preamble to Article one..eg: "purposes & principles","live in peace", "desiring to strengthen fabric of peace", AUKUS doesnt! Its more like a Defense force materiel, human resource, technology & unrestricted land use free trade agreement that places Aust in a position of subservience, with the potential for "Allies" to take full advantage when we are "on our knees"!
@@kkcw6668 as you say AUKUS is a technology and information sharing pact. Having this makes us stronger and closer to our 2 biggest allies. Which in turn will strengthen fabric of peace as another country would think twice about invading us.
@@garyhankinson5695 geo political & geo strategic analysts in different parts of the world dont subscribe to your assessments! And here's a huge dent in Aust Arrogance, they find that "successful" WA Independence from Aust C'Wealth(only aust C'wealth) is far far more likely than an Aust Republic. And is no longer 'just' pencilled in!
Penny Wong should be thrown out of government how this fool keeps getting elected is absolutely beyond me
