Thumbs up 21/9/21

Thumbs up to the government for at last taking a proactive stance on Australia’s defence with the acquisition of nuclear powered submarines. Thumbs down to those, including an ABC commentator, who said it may be seen as ‘provocative’ to China. I think the building of military bases by China, on built up reefs and sandbars, reaching down the South China Sea, its attempts to intimidate Australia, its huge build up of its military – including nuclear submarines – is mildly provocative.
