Seems like a bit of confusion in the YES campaign on what the Voice to parliament means to RAN nuclear submarines. The YES campaign not doing themselves any favours when they can't even say how much impact they will have on other areas besides direct influence on Aboriginal affairs. Artist Sally Sca...

Don't know if this delivery timetable was always planned or whether some deal was engineered, but here they are: https://twitter.com/2805662/status/1687631653508927488?s=20 I wonder how fast they are being built? Expensive way to ship them over would have thought they would have sent them over a LH...

We have enough for a ASW carrier would really like to see a Japanese Izumo-class with both MH-60R/F35B with the Hyuga ASW fit out in RAN colours.

Most likely they always need it. 2 was also only going to be a training capability only.

8 wil most likely only see between 4/6 avalible at any one time due minor/ major maintenance requirements

I suspect the ADF wouldn't ever contemplate a D-Day style landing on a defended coast. Even MacArthur had to go ashore in more non permissive environments at times, whilst he tried to bypass the more heavly defended areas. There's just no need to, either in Aus or in the immediate region to the nor...

I suppose that’s one way to get rid of our M113

Think we might just as well send the lot after all marles said we don’t have the capacity to send all the Phase 3 AFV over the beach so why keep M113
