In response to AUKUS: So many questions, so few answers

AUKUS boondoggle

Can I here add my name and wholehearted support to Doug Cameron and the campaign he is co-authoring against the swindle of AUKUS imposed upon us by that Dodgy Brother Scott Morrison and now supported by a supine Labor government.

If we can kill this financial dissimulation and fraud it will enable scarce resources to be committed to things that will benefit the Australian population rather than the US and UK failing military-industrial complexes. Hundreds of schools, hospitals, universities and further education institutions so badly needed in an under-educated Australia, high-speed rail networks, power networks and generation (green) and other vital community infrastructure.

Rather than pumping probably eventually a trillion dollars of taxpayers money into a bunch of useless attack submarines that will not defend Australia, but will assist the US to attempt fruitlessly to invade China, let’s think strategically as a nation. Surely this is preferable than responding like Pavlov’s dogs to the insane fear mongering of the political and military classes and their mainstream media acolytes!
