Starlink satellite service can't be trusted for government services.

@bobhawke7373 False. Two years ago, two million Australian households will be able to demand fibre-to-the-home internet by 2023 as part of a $3.5 billion upgrade of the National Broadband Network in residential streets.

@DanielSMatthews NBN = "after spending $51 billion AUD on a second-rate network". Elon Musk said on Tuesday that his Starlink venture was growing quickly as he forecast total investment costs in the satellite internet business at between $20 billion and $30 billion USD. The problem is the skill set in Australia, not the money. SpaceX has both reusable rockets and Laser mesh/AESA-based satellite tech skillsets in a vertically integrated business model.

@DanielSMatthews Your argument is misleading when the government has multiple revenue sources.

@DanielSMatthews Your argument is misleading since both SpaceX corporate and the Australian government invested in their respective broadband internet businesses i.e. StarLink and NBN respectively. The difference is StarLink doesn't pay profiteering rocket companies due to SpaceX's vertical integration. Furthermore, StarLink can in-house design and in-house mass-produce its own AESA-based communication tech while the Australian government's in-house skill set is a technology and mass-production rookie. No Australian private or government own companies can match SpaceX's and Tesla's mass-production capabilities. No Australian private or government own companies can launch an orbital-class rocket with a satellite. The Australian government spends more on "the arts" and sports than on aerospace rocket tech. There are too many Irish-like "peace hippies" in Australia i.e. Pual Keating's mindset. Australia's heavy industrial companies like Blue Scope do NOT progress into the stainless steel rocket business. Elon Musk doesn't follow the typical Western "core business only" doctrine i.e. Elon Musk follows East Asian style conglomerate business doctrine e.g. the Samsung or Mitsubishi conglomerate business model.

@DanielSMatthews Money is not the problem i.e. it's mindset and skillset investments. Taiwan and Australia have similar population sizes, but Taiwan beat Australia on mass production of computer electronics and smart missile mass production. Australia is mostly stuck in 19th-century style sheep, farming, and digging /drilling things from the ground exports. Australia is importing South Korean weapon platform designs since the Australian industrial design skillset is garbage e.g. Huntsman AS9 self-propelled artillery system is produced by Hanwha Defense in South Korea. LOL

@DanielSMatthews Your argument is the real bullshit. You can't handle the truth.

@DanielSMatthews That's a false narrative. In terms of industrial strength, Australia is not even half of South Korea. Stop playing with distractions like the arts and sports. Australia has about half of South Korea's population. South Korea has technology conglomerate titans like LG Electronics, Samsung Group, Hyundai Group (Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hyundai Motor Group, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Hyundai Mobis), SK Group (SK Hynix, SK Telecom, SK Innovation), Hanwha Group and 'etc'. As of 2023, Hyundai Group "includes divisions that build and export diesel and electric locomotives, freight cars, and passenger coaches for the railroad industry, and offshore drilling and extraction equipment to the oil industry." Hyundai's international exports range from heavy industrial equipment to consumer products and include cement, pianos, military uniforms, and consumer electronics products.

@DanielSMatthews South Korean Sejong the Great-class destroyer has the following Vertical Launching System: 128 total cells Mk 41 VLS 48 cells (Fwd) Mk 41 VLS 32 cells (Aft) K-VLS 48 cells (Aft) 4 Sejong the Great-class destroyer has been built. Another 2 units are being constructed. South Koreans design Sejong the Great-class destroyer platform. vs Australia's Hobart class Vertical Launching System: 48 total cells. 48 Mk 41 VLS 3 Hobart class has been built. The F100 platform's design was imported from Spain. Reminder, Australia is not located in Europe. Hacks like Paul Keating think Australia is located near Spain or Ireland, or Sweden (Colins' class's short silent range). The mindset is the problem.

@DanielSMatthews > We also have a far more extensive (per capita) social welfare system False. The data showed that in 2021 alone, the US spent nearly twice as much as the average OECD country on health care – and health spending in the US was three to four times higher than in South Korea, New Zealand, and Japan, Healthcare spending per capita, Source: OECD Health Statistics 2022, July 2022 USA: $12,318 OECD average: $5,829 Australia: $5,627

@DanielSMatthews Australia (26.1 million population, 2022) should be compared to South Korea (51.6 million population, 2022) SK = $1.811 trillion USD (2021) AU = $1.553 trillion USD (2021) The South Koreans are giving Elon Musk a headache. Why is Australia's GDP so high? Australia's US$7.3 trillion financial sector includes the world's fifth-largest pool of pension assets.

@DanielSMatthews Reminder, the Australian government sold government-owned AUSSAT Pty Limited in 1981. Blame Liberal–National Coalition. After privatization, AUSSAT became Optus. Optus is owned by Singtel which is partly owned by the Singaporean government. LOL 😆😅🤣😂 At least the UK Tory government is investing in OneWeb i.e. don't trust Starlink for any sovereign-related business.

@DanielSMatthews >Only a big and aggressive economy with a go hard or go home attitude like the USA has can produce an empire like Musk's. FALSE. Refer to South Korean technology conglomerate Titans.

@DanielSMatthews On record, Australia has a state premiere like Gladys Berejiklian (Liberal party for NSW) who hates Australian manufacturing. 🤣😅😂 NSW's Liberal–National Coalition was recently replaced by the Australian Labor Party. Again, it's the mindset.

@DanielSMatthews 1986 era Anzac-class frigate is a POS. Anzac-class frigate's MEKO 200 design is imported from Deutschland. In 1992, work started on the Anzac-class frigates. Germany has replaced all their MEKO 200-era Bremen-class frigates.

@DanielSMatthews You can't handle the truth.

@DanielSMatthews RAN's "toothpick" capability is created by Paul Keating e.g. Colins and Anzac class designs. The Irish mindset of Paul Keating's selection made sure that Australia has inferior crap. Reminder, Australia is not located near Ireland.

@DanielSMatthews Trade Barrier Index 2021 with a lower tariff score has fewer trade barriers. Canada's tariff score is 2.58 (CPTPP, USMCA) Peru's tariff score is 2.84 (CPTPP) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 (CPTPP) Australia's tariff score is 3.03 (CPTPP) UK's tariff score is 3.94 (CPTPP) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 (CPTPP) US's tariff score is 4.54 (USMCA) Germany's tariff score is 4.88 (EU) EU's tariff score is 4.88 China's tariff score is 5.68 (BRICS) Russia's tariff score is 6.16 (BRICS) Argentina's tariff score is 7.04 Brazil's tariff score is 7.07 (BRICS) South Korea's tariff score is 7.35 (heavy protectionists must have a local partner model, copied by China) India's tariff score is 8.18 (BRICS) You are wrong.

@DanielSMatthews US federal budget 2020 proportion on welfare is 61% i.e. Welfare = 12% Pensions / Social Security = 15% Health Care = 21% Education = 13% Australia's 2022 federal budget proportion on welfare is 56% Social Security and welfare = 35.2% Health Care = 16.6% Education = 7.1% The budget proportion is similar except for education.
