  1. Nope decision made. But yes in future a voice may make representations to the parliament about defence policy. Whats wrong with that? If we are paying millions for foreign contractors to advise government what’s wrong with some Aussie input. It’s just advice.

  2. Yep that’s exactly what the Japs, the Germans, and the Italians all thought and yet we kicked all of their arses. Just point for me where in 122 years we were beaten on the battlefield. Don’t bother pointing out political defeats, like Vietnam or Afghanistan in neither of those conflicts were we beaten on the battlefield.

  3. Why not 30 or 40 or 50 or 60. What happened specifically 20 years ago?
