^Great.

Well, now I understand why Mal wrecked the NBN. His cyber defence strategy is to make sure Australia's Internet so slow, military hackers give up and move on to third-world nations Laughing

As we speak, it's taking aeons to download the 2016 Defence White Paper. China must've received a paper copy; how else would they even know what's in it to issue a complaint?!

Breaking News

Chinese cyber-forces have just launched a DDOS attack on Australian Government sites. A spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Defence has said the attack was carried out by a crack squad of pimply teenage MMORPG gamers early this morning.

However, given Australia's Internet infrastructure, sites are not expected to be affected until sometime in 2021.

"The relationship is good at the moment, but we anticipate things will start to sour like a bad century egg by 2020. This is why we needed to take swift action now."

"He's a smart fellow, Malcolm Turnbull, with his NBN Cyber-Treacle Defence Strategy. But we're smarter."

Must be an election happening. This is the other version of law & order.

Military upgrade is required not doubt. The tanks are well past their use buy date & as noted earlier this is building on past materiel acquisition. However are we so much worse off if we have 1-2 less submarines?

The newer technology is in non-manned subs as an addition to the fleet which would reduce the expense of 12 subs

If not we could always acquire the Tannin:

Mind you his periscope hasn't been sighted for a while.

Then again we could enter into an agreement with New Zealand: In the event of war we'll give up New Zealand. Hopefully, the Chinese or Thai regimes beat us & not the Indonesians, don't like their food.

According to the log, only six sightings in 11 weeks, captain. Radar suggests that he may have last been seen heading in the direction of the Cape of Good Birdwatching.

Think Positive, time to don your scuba gear!

Depends what topic we're discussing. If it's WW2, you might need a harpoon. Shocked

It's a relief knowing we can now beat the Chinese.
