Government has ‘no money’ to better protect vulnerable military bases
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.”

The biggest threat comes from stupid politicians
Labor must go asap. Stop mass immigration, and spend money on Defence.

There is plenty of money for referendums, politician pay rises, football teams in other countries, renewable transitions, makarrata and NDIS blowouts. None of it will mean a thing in a regional conflict.
Plenty of money to prop up Victoria after Andrews f*cked it up!
Because we didn't treat the US with due respect. Threatened leaving AUKUS and got surprised by a price tag. I've said the PM should pick up the telephone and commit. Stop trying to save money by draining the budget. We need to run a deficit. It's wartime. We can fix it later like we have before.

There are literally holes in the fence along a bike track that goes along the fence of the RAAF base , I won't say which one for security reasons , I don't want anyone getting in to my local base , how ever this is indicative of a government that simply have no idea what they're doing. You could drive a car or anything right in,. It's pathetic. and no one even patrols the area , since to my knowledge it's been like this for over 6 months. It's pathetic
Defence has blown money for decades, including the senior leaders in uniform.
Wow how shocking . Redirect money to our defence..
Yeah space, get me off this planet.
You don't hear any of the 'yes sir' Generals saying any of this while they are still serving.
We really need more carparks. That's LNPs answer. ADF has been under funded and languishing for at least 15 years.
Disappointing the number of folk who insist on confusing domestic policy with that of foreign policy.
I would have thought our isolation is a weakness if we are going to rely on the yanks to come to our rescue

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.
labor is is toxic
Throwing money at dumb things, defence is a minor player. The USA will save us again ???
