  1. Lincoln literally hasn’t got a clue about what he is commenting on.

  2.  @dpitt1516  Utter garbage. There has been no degradation of the ADF under Labor in the last 2 years whatsoever. Just name one. The Army is receiving long range missiles, the Navy is getting Tomahawks as is the AirForce. New warship programs have been advanced. We have the latest tech in fighters and missiles. The Army is equipped with Javelin anti tank missiles and is about to receive the lastest version of the Abrams MBT. You clearly haven’t got a clue either.

  3.  @dpitt1516  Hilarious, both the Arafura and F35 procurements were decisions by Liberal governments and you comically attempt to blame Labor, where do you do stand up, because you are genuinely funny. The current government has already sounded the US out about possibly procuring the B21 Raider bomber so that criticism is just unfounded. The E7A of which we have 6 has proven such a good platform that yes other countries are requesting we assist them and that provides vital operational experience to the crews, again that criticism is completely unfounded. The Taipan was another LNP government decision and while a good platform was not useful for SF, but again you can’t blame Labor. New aircraft as you rightly point out to replace out ARH and MRH capabilities are coming, can we have more, of course, but again these were ordered by a LNP government, blame Dutton. While I’ll agree with you that we can always want more, there has been no degradation of our MBT or Artillery weapons systems in the last two years. As per the SDR a recommendation was made to reduce the amount of IFVs to be procured and while I disagree with this decision myself I understand it as resources needed to be allocated to strengthening the Navy. The Hawkei is an excellent platform and to blame the Labor government for a manufacturing fault that has now been remedied under warranty is again just idiotic. While Labor can take some blame for the slow replacement of the Collins class the LNP bears significant responsibility for the chaos it has become. If you had any understanding of SSN construction in the west suggesting Labor could fix it in 2 years is again comedy gold. I’m not sure what yelling achieves but a more coherent argument from yourself might help. Try using some facts.
