- Sky News host Caleb Bond says there are “serious doubts” about Australia’s defence capabilities.
His comments follow the Defending Australia Summit where former Labor minister Kim Beazley said ‘we could not defend ourselves now without the Americans’.
“We are just so woefully underprepared in terms of our defence capability,” Mr Bond said.
Japanese Admiral Yamamoto who attended college in America said, "We can never invade America because there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." This should be an option for Australia.
Too late now…y’all had agreed to be disarmed 😢
It was until Howard's 1996 treason.
@@GrayS304mate not all of us stood by and let the government take our firearms. Australian sporting shooters and firearms owners pushed back hard against firearms law reformation but the fix was in from the start and we were trumped by an horrific act (Port Arthur massacre) that occurred and that had the effect of brainwashing every non firearms owner in the nation. I understand that America has had its share of horror but to Americans that type of thing is water off a ducks back.
We're fucked, the end...
Yep we nuclear subs to protect us the chinese from sinking their own merchants ship coming to and from china?
Oh by the way gina reinhardt sold the chineses billions of tonnes of iron so the chinese can build warships to sink their chinese merchants ships??
Never give up!
@@franktully3065 But giving up is the core ideological belief of the filth that watch this channel.
@franktully3065 no I won't give up, it's our government that's made us vulnerable! 👋🏽✌🏽😎
@@LowkeyAnnieTrue.
We will know when the country is being invaded by the lack of gutless politicians around in other words the rats will leave the sinking ship the port.arthur incident is still very suss
Australian is sleeping! Do something about it.
China moved into Solomon islands, and very soon they will move into New Calédonia.
Because all Australia can offer is the US hegemony, which is no choice at all....
There's an island off coast in QLD near Mackay...it's leased by CHINA!! All thanks to COMMUNIST AND SOCIALIST POLITICS IN QUEENSLAND!
You have to wonder if they are agitating in New Calendonia with the unrest there.
@@YUDNSAYYou prefer totalitarian hegemony?
@@franktully3065 Choice, and the freedom to make it is my point.
My best guess is that Japan makes the best Submarines.
Look to their Toyota’s, Nissan’s and everything they manufacture. They last for life.
Yes, and we could have signed up for some of them 8 years ago.
@@franktully3065 We could have if we'd never been blighted with an Abbott government. Piss'n Moan Tones set that back a decade all by himself.
Australians cant defend themselves anyway, we're not even allowed to have airsoft toy guns ffs.
Thank Howard.
Mate you can have guns in australia as long as you dont tick the box which asks if you believe everthing the murdoch gutterpress.
@@gingertom56 Your illiteracy I hope should tick all the boxes. Learn some self control! #Guttermind
Our defence force will only half fill the MCG
Just a handful of Chinas salvation army is bigger than that 😂😂
@@whiskeygamer9402 China has 2.1 million active military members, with an announced 8 million reserves, which really means 15 to 20 million reserves.
Sack this idiotic government now!
Yeah, it's **this** government's fault the Libs criminally mishandled the nation's defence policy from 2013 to now...
The constitution does not allow for that.
Why we need a new constitution
This is the first government in many, many years that has told the truth about Australia’s defence force. The lack of investment by successive governments, including Howard & Costello and everyone since then, has left us in this state. Libs no better than Labour.
Only pick enemies with no military.
Those enemies have more balls than Australia 😂😂
@@whiskeygamer9402is a perfect example of how quick Sky viewers are to sell out Australia to literally anyone else. So very patriotic...
The People respect the US Service personnel NOT the Government - in Aust No-one does
No one in Australia respects the US government?
Enough defences to hold the southern tip of Tasmania for a day or two!
Australia, you better give the guns back to your citizens as the USA is NOT dependable to defend USA much less Australia.😅😅
Guns are useless compared to an airforce. Ask Ukrainians and Palestinians 😂
The Liberal and Labor coalition would rather Australia get completely taken over by a foreign enemy, than give Australians any of their rights back.
The whole labor cabinet should resign
Remind us again how it was Albo who personally approved a pimped out $200 million dollar VIP (Shark Force One) plane for his personal use?
All in with Reserves Aust has 90k personnel. Vietnam 5.8 million. India 5.1 million. S Korea 3.8 million. China 3.2 million. Taiwan 180k active & 1.7 million reserves.
Difference between our Chocco's and the militaries you've listed save (RoK and Taiwan) is that our reservists are better trained than their respective regulars.
We need trump but Albo won’t let him in 😂
We need trump like we need another Black Saturday.
We need leaders with spine…
Apathy will be the death of Australia…and I’m not referring to the politicians! I’m astounded at how few of us Australians actually pay attention to what is happening in politics and the world, and even fewer that have the b@lls to call the government out on their terrible policies and lack of action in the best interests of the people! Unfortunately the decades of relative “peace” have caused people to take peace for granted and assume that a world war will never happen again. We should all be very afraid!
we have had over 20 years of children running our nation.. Is it not time for the adults to take charge of our future?
Stop the stupid welcome to country crap would be a great place to start!
And that with stop the chinese?
Thank you Kel! Absolutely spot on!!
So... Let's tell all our enemies around the world that we are completely defenseless... As If they couldn't guess anyway with the idiot government we have and have had.
We never could defend ourselves, we have a land that is extremely difficult to take as the infrastructure is so far apart.
We will never be able to defend ourselves we are a country with a small population.
Unexpected corrosion?
No the Colin’s class were riddled with corrosion issues from new. Defence specifically bought a borescope for inspecting the pipes at bench level because of the issues
This is that politicians rather line their own pockets than look after Australia than Aussies how disgusting
We should learn the lessons other countries have in regards to defence of your country,,, and Albenese has actually cut defence spending at time when we should be strong,,,
Aussies are sick of fighting wars for the Rich and the US!!
Yeah well you have no defence now. Good luck if something does happen
@@Nathan-ry3yu yeah well!! Australia has to stop fighting for a paranoid warmonger US and their imaginary enemies!!
@@sayreharder1541 speak for yourself!
Yep exactly!
Says a coward that never fought for anything
When Kim Beasley was PM the government assessed the threat to Australia as being 2-3 man enemy groups running around the outback stirring up trouble. The government assessed this as the threat because that was all we were capable of dealing with.
In a high intensity war Australia as even more poorly ready than we are now
What better way than to broadcast to everyone how vulnerable we are. F#cking joke
Your army is to small.
The Canberra wokoraty have gutted the ADF at all levels
Easy fix to personal bring but compulsory service training
We started havi g trouble with our subs when they shut down their repair base cockatoo island.
Who's going to man these off the shelf submarines?? The navy has been trying to recruit submariners for the past 15 years, throwing massive incentives and $100,000 starting salaries and we still can't get people to sign up! What a joke 😢
As if Australia ever could defend itself?
So you are deleting comments now?
Who got rid of the fleet air arm.
Who ordered the Collin’s class submarines. I was there Beasley stuffed the defence force. We haven’t had war issues for so long people have been free so long military is just a job.
What are we going to fight with battery powered tanks and drones,
First Nation weapons
And yet you slag off at Albos made in Australia plan! Its like you forget the connection between manufacturing and sovrign security. Skynews you are the biggest threat to Australia's security!
theres a lot of countries between Australia and china, it would make sense that we would have time to conscript and equip a sizeable military for domestic defense and not have to fight in australia at all to defend it. its not like the normandy invasion with a short trip across the english channel 😂
Albo has sent all our money to Ukraine
It’s too late , most young Australians won’t fight for the country . I tell them start learning Chinese. Too much division in our country an you think young generation has the balls an grit to defend us or there too busy on there phones
Why waste the money Australia has already sold out to China, maybe learn mandarin.
Boguns working hard to look intelligent
Our defense budget is nearly $50 billion, with no manpower and less or ordinary firepower
Whereas, an asian country with $80 billion has 1.3 million standing army, and ready or at least prepared to lock horns with China and Pakistan
We just need to learn to be smart
Joe has a very good point. I am a supporter of fixed term four year Federal Govts. Governments need to be given time to implement their policies and mandates. Today's democracy (in Australia) blows in the wind and holds our country back from making tough, long term decisions.
"Skyjews flop. Promotes war, but won't fight on the frontline"
Give us weapons and training NOW!
