@Defence_Index Would be so nice if some of the other attack submarines the UK has could actually work and be operational again. Seems like that’s asking a lot these days from the Royal Navy.
🇬🇧🇦🇺 BREAKING: HMS Anson’s sudden departure from Australia highlights the limits of Britain’s stretched naval fleet.
This move could have major implications for AUKUS, showing that even close allies may face capacity constraints amid global crises.

@bulkeley_john@Defence_Index Lol... Keep spending all your money on "Free Healthcare" and massive amounts of "Welfare for illegals".
I'm sure both of those national priorities will defend you when the time comes... 🤦🐐
Albo says he’s looking at every practical option to ease pressure on the public,
Here’s a couple of options:
Deal with the cause not the symptoms.
Stop appeasing Trump and Netanyahu tell them to cease their illegal war.
Build independence, cancel the AUKUS madness.
Put Aus first
@DavidShoebridge@noplaceforsheep "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.!"

Defence Minister admits that Australia’s Wedgetail aircraft in the UAE is sending information direct to the US Combined Air Operations Centre that controls US airpower across the Middle East. This is not defensive, it’s critical to US attacks across Iran. abc.net.au/news/2026-03-1…
Joe Kent - August 2024:
“Most Americans aren’t aware… our troops in Iraq and Syria have been attacked 150+ times by Iranian proxies.”
“These Iranian proxies… are 100% funded by the United States of America.”
“We’re funding the guys that are attacking our troops.”
“Why do we leave our troops there?”
@DougCameron51 The US would later coup PM Whitlam, when he planned to close Pine Gap & reveal CIA operations in Australia. It's now known that not just Kerr, but also Hawk was CIA collaborator.
@DougCameron51 Harold Holt started this trouble, when he gave LBJ permission to build Pine Gap. Holt would later disappear, swimming at Portsea. As no remains were found, many thought he'd been kidnapped. But the only people with motive, would be the US, if he'd changed his mind.
@DougCameron51 Australia is not an imperial country & has no natural enemies, But we have spent our history, fighting other people's wars. In WW1, we lost more of our army, than any other country, in a war that was none of our business. We are an island that is easily defended. We don't need US

We’ve set up a new Fuel Supply Taskforce, led by Anthea Harris.
Working with states and territories, the taskforce will make sure fuel gets where it’s needed most.
It will bring together experts and industry to protect our fuel supply, and make sure we have the latest information on supply and demand.
