- Sky News contributor Chris Uhlmann says there is a “real workforce problem” in the Australian Defence Force.
“We have a real workforce problem within the ADF,” Mr Uhlmann told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“But, beyond that, we don’t have the kit which we need to fight with.”
This Government and Wokeness isn't worth defending 😂😂
Sure isn't.
Wokeness. Poor baby
@@PoorlineforevaHere's your chance to sign up for military service with the ADF.
@@RogueElementMkII you can only get in at the moment if your an alphabet person or colour other than white.
The main problem with the ADF is what my son always tells me: As a straight white male you need to really excel to get ahead, as a gay aboriginal women you can do no wrong.
100% right. I applied for the reserves as a FIFO worker with a current Class 1 CASA medical and got knocked back due to slight colour vision issue for a very basic job. My mates reckon I should have put "they/them" on my resume.
@@user-yz1jx3ln8x ADF don't care about skill, that's why my mates (many who served) joked about putting they/them on the resume. Otherwise the ADF don't care.
I'll fight only if Aus is invaded plenty of family tradies would protect, at the moment trying to fight cost of living
There's lots of people who think the same as you mate.
I appreciate your decision, but by the time you're invaded it will be far too late, unless you've prepared beforehand.
That means conscription now so you have people who are trained to fight before they have to - because your enemy will be trained & ruthless in their fighting.
@@robertdargan1113Sign yourself up to the ADF then.
I'm in my mid 40s and wouldn't want younger people to put their lives on the line for me mate.
Conscription?
Are you after people to protect you or something?
@robertdargan1113 invade Aus don't think it would be that easy I think about the scale of military needed too cross a ocean
Yep its been a 20 year long road car crash of poor government and poor defence force leadership.
No one to join the adf to protect corrupt politicians
We are a foreign corporation sold out and China owns ports so , think it will be
everyone to prepare and say no slow down Digital ID , it is a CCP social score NWO WEF WHO . Everyone needs Jesus learn who he is, spiritual war that will
get worst. Today meeting to take away your Meat , food , have bugs and lab grown.
Young men are refusing to join the military anyway. They are not willing to be used as cannon fodder and sacrifice themselves for a society that now hates them. Who would have thought a woke society teaching generations of Australians to hate their country would have consequences?
Who would defend this Government? Go and get your precious immigrants to fight your battles.
Well done Australian pollies where on the eve of WW3 and weve been caught with our pants down.
Citizens need to be armed to have a decent sized adf but corrupt politicians scared of armed Citizens
From hearing ads on the radio the selling point to join the ADF is 'Join and train for a career in [ insert profession ] ... The ADF is recruiting people to do a trade. There's no mention of serving your country, to protect your country from our enemies, to be a soldier or a sailor or a fast jet pilot, the ads are all based around training to gain a trade. Once upon a time you'd see an ad and the ad was about joining to be a rifleman, a tank driver, driving trucks or being a medical orderly. Not today. Join and learn a trade, but make sure first you have passed year twelve at school and have some tertiary education. What happened to general entry that you don't need a higher education?
Give serving personnel a $30,000 increase in pay at every level. Offer graduating year 12 students $75,000 tax free to be in the armed forces for a year, instead of staying at home on their PlayStations for a ‘gap’ year. Provide Quest style apartment accommodation at bases, and stop moving personnel from town to town so often.
I did 8 years and when I got out not even my army first aid training was accepted in a civilian work place . I was a corporal and an M1A1 Abrams crew commander but didn’t even have anything I could use on the outside . I had to start again from the beginning and had wasted 8 years of my life
Make all ADF positions pay tax free
I am glad I wouldn’t be accepted in the military I had an accident when I was 24 and now have epilepsy and I needed to have a VP Shunt in my head. I wouldn’t sign up even if I didn’t have any health problems . Maybe 25 years ago I would have but this country is not worth dying for.
Offer fee free university education for students after 5 yrs completed service and 5 years reserves afterwards, and give a lifetime interest free homeloan as well. Ramp up and grow the school cadets programs so young people can get a taste of what Defence life is like to pique their interest The government always bangs on about how important defence service is well prove it. You'd never have recruiting issues ever again by employing the above a serious benefit for a serious commitment. Soldiers Sailors and Airmen get sweet FA at the end of the day. once all is said and done they get very little in the way of tangible benefits. Not that they do it for riches they want to serve but that's the truth of it. You want a different outcome Canberra try another approach.
Has anyone at Sky ever served?
Why would they have? How many in any industry have ever served?
Defence job needs to over wage $ 50/ hour 🤭
At the moment we are fighting the cost of living.
Got what ppl voted for
Australia could not defend Luna Park, our ADF is as week as piss, blame the shite government/s for this....
Lucky we have the greens to protect us 😂
The stark gap Dibbs mentioned is one that has been part of every Australian government defence policy for over 20 years now. I will judge coalition defence statements by whether they are actually implemented or not. Which, going on when they were in government, will be no better than Labor has been.
Frankly both side of politics have failed the nations defence. If they had any morals at all, both would hang their heads in shame.
That they do not points to the lack of morals on both sides of the house.
Hey you tube GFY 😊
Just continue making yourselves the world's biggest laughing stock 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Hear hear 👍🏽
Dont blame Aussies for not wanting to defend our country.
Defending it from who? Crocodile Dundee? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 you only have to defend it from your masters so called allies
Have you had it so easy that you think your only enemy is a "corrupt" goverent?
Does the word "China" mean anything to you?
Considering the way our ex-servicemen are treated by the gubbermint, why would anyone in ther right mind want to join the ADF these days?
Because there are so many career paths open to you if you train in the military that can then be used in civilian industry.
This is just crap
Petal, your ‘boss’ or you did not lift a finger to bolster the ADF when he was PM.
That's not true. Peta has done many interviews over the years raising alarm about the appalling state of Australia's defences.
I've viewed them with sadness, because I knew she was right.
You should stop projecting your negative attitude to life & anti Australian attitude onto other people. Stop being such an undercover hypocrite & admit you hate yourself & Australia.
Just garbage commentary from people who haven’t got a clue.
How's Albo going to find 1000, 5000 or 50,000 GenZs who aren't terrified of assault weapons?
@@_TheBreaker_ So the previous government identified an increase in defence personnel and failed to achieve it. The current government is also finding it difficult to even maintain defence numbers. It is not Albos problem and to suggest so is just idiotic partisan politics. The defence of Australia is all our problem. Blaming Albo is simplistic stupidity. I always found the HK417 a fine assault weapon, but the EF88 is damn good.
@@pwillis1589
The buck stops with Albo and he's proving himself to be an unimpressive specimen of a man.
Don't throw off putting ScoMo on the jackcunt.
He's yesterday's fuckup.
It's Albos job to inspire GenZs to enlist, nobody else's.
Who the hell would be dumb enough to put their hand up to fight on Albos watch??
@@pwillis1589The HK417 is a battle rifle, chambered in 7.62x51mm. Whereas the HK416 is an assault rifle chambered in 5.56x45mm.
The EF88, also chambered in 5.56mm, and is inferior to the HK416, given that it's a bullpup rifle.
@@RogueElementMkII Yes you can have that opinion.
Hasn’t Chris changed his spots 👊🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
