Spot on ! … our government lacks so much support to local industries for not supporting companies that make great military equipment locally right in our backyard . … yes contracts are needed desperately, but I don’t know if our government can do that successfully, I see our government being very out of touch .
No! I agree with everything he’s saying, but isn’t he a liberal minister? We can’t afford anymore of the major 4 parties! Their the ones responsible for destroying Australia! You can’t seriously believe anything will change ? They are totally bought & sold by large donation lobbyists! We DEFINITELY need this kind of thinking & I’d say our only hope is one nation at this stage !
Instead of spending money on a Carbon neutral utopia that runs on unicorn farts, we should be fixing our Defense force and changing our strategy and Tactics to suit our terrain etc.
One billion percent! The problem we face , are the treasonous bastards in our government that have destroyed Australia! Imo a overwhelming one nation victory & some patriotic ministers that cross the floor , is the fastest way forwards .
I would be happy to create a defence oriented company that supports our ADF if the government gives me a loan without equity without interest over the next 25 years & based on projected profits & capabilities into the future, I and many other Australian people would love an opportunity to have thier own company, serve our country and provide for ourselves with the support of our own government, sound good?
We also need Australians to get their acts together to get our pharmaceutical industry up & running so we produce our own needed medicines instead of trusting our needs & security to other countries.
@@margaretkobier We absolutely need a change of government 1st ! The major 4 parties have to GO FOR GOOD ! One nation is our best chance ( we don’t have time on our side ) We need major change FAST . The whole country needs to mobilise into a emergency war footing, national service to replace the dole or any benefits . Prisoners become cheap hard labour, reconstruction of our old railways. National service & volunteer civilian service. Defence industry / all national infrastructure to be commonwealth owned again . Weapons licensing should be stripped from the power mad police . They should focus on policing criminals, not making criminals out average Aussies. Australian defence needs an active civilian Participation, including industry & R&D . ( that doesn’t mean everyone has a AR15 ) That will do for starters.
@@concernedaussie1330 agree - a gov that actually serves us not enslaves is a top priority BUT there is a saying that people get the gov they deserve - more to awaken.

Is it tied to cost of living or is capitalism gone too far? Is it optimistic business or is it government ineptitude in the art of contract writing or is it the fact we don't take into account the money we give away in a grant before we write the contract???
How advanced are we regards robotic systems and A.I? ,What part does this technology play in defence industries?.Given we are not land locked does this geographical arena play a part in defence industries analysis and production selection regards munition priorities for example shore line defence whereby we can target incoming before they reach shoreline or land proper regards amphibious assault’s?
The country needs to mobilise strategically. The nation needs to be told the truth of our dire defence situation! A request for civilian volunteers to step forward should be made .

Look at the skills of the 4x4 , drag racers & hot rodders just as an example. By uniting creative minds around a common goal , we can do this. Our citizens volunteer’s should have a healthy competitive relationship with the full time defence force . Most likely bordering on hatred ( especially from the full time force ) The goals of the civilian force could be to achieve more with less as an example.

Australia has enjoyed generations of prosperity so where is the defence capability to show for all this wealth? Governments in this country on both sides of politics are elected and then promise all sorts of outcomes, only to do nothing while they serve out their time in office before passing the problem on to the next government who then repeat the same process. Labour sat on the submarine question when they were last in office for six years and did nothing before passing it on to the Coalition government who then lost another nine years. That is why we won't have any submarines to replace the Collins class until the 2040’s. Words mean nothing, anyone can say words. What matters in the end is real military capability which is why China is busily arming itself today. We have been badly served by both sides of politics in this country.
Agree,especially last sentence,continuous foolish blind subservience to the toxic hegemonic US etc Neocons instead of a more sensible neutral stance is very counter-productive as well to Australia's best interests to say the least.
By definitions identified in the Geneva Convention, Australia is still in a "technical" state of war. The Armistice in place that halted the fighting on the Korean peninsula is NOT a Peace Treaty. The ANZUS treaty indicates Australia has an obligation that remains to this very day, unfulfilled, and as such increases the ever increasing undesirability of remaining a Participant (eg:WA) in the Commonwealth, operating outside of its designed intent.
@@JaydenWilliams-my1br thats a lie, and there is no article in the Anzus treaty that could have been applied. Articles 3 to 5 is what pres bush had in the kit bag on 9/11. I had friends who were deployed on the "Dili dash for cash"!
The US Military Industrial Complex,(MIC) model is second rate and expensive compared to for example the Russian,Chinese,simple truth.,not what Australia needs at all,government free of L,N,and Labor will only deliver the appropriate.
Well said, Senator Fawcett.
Thank you for the talk

How do we get Defence industry to generate products in a way that is fair, and not government price gouging?

Engage Australian SME's directly without defence primes making it more expensive and less effective.
