Strong And Secure

[poddster]

A Strategy for Australia’s National Security?

To me it smacks of a scare campaign, not unlike the "War on Terror"

Is this an election panphlet one has to ask.

Perhaps JOOLYA!!! should be concentrating in the tangible needs of Australians and not nebulous fabrications.

Border security would be a good place to start.

he has read the stringers thread and thats 1000's of pages which says nothing of substance

kind of like podz threads?? ;\

If that group got paid by word count we would have had millionaires on CS.

we could could talk the leg of a table sometimes, no disputing that  :^O

I wonder if spin doctors get a bonus for fabrications that are twisted out shape to resemble the opposite of the original?

Is that supposed to mean something?? it sounds like fabricated nonsense to me

I see we have reverted to the infantile "JOOLYA!!!" again.  Sigh.

The Government would be remiss if they didn't issue a strategic paper, I think maybe the reason the OP has an issue with it is that it was issued under the stewardship of Julia Gillard.

I read the full 48 pages (skimming a bit admittedly), with particular emphasis on the executive summary, and I can't see any reason for the heightened paranoia displayed by some here.

"1984" :^O

I don't need to read it to know what they want to do, I have seen it coming for a long time and the usual reply is

"if you don't have anything to hide you don't have anything to worry about"

that along with apathy and one day people will ask "how did this happen, who allowed it"

Why bother offering an opinion if you haven't bothered to read it? ?:|

And talking of paranoia Orwellian-style, the contents have nothing to do with what you are implying.

People that shoot off their mouths and sprout opinions without basis are usually the ones that are later bewildered enough to ask "how did this happen, who allowed it".

It's been happening for as while, seems to have got a whole lot worse since the female became the PM   :^O

I think she makes them feel insecure and inadequate.

The fact she is not married certainly seems to have raised the shackles of a few. Perhaps they are afraid all the women will turn lesbian if we relax a little with a not married female PM.

:^O

It's fairly sad to hear women hating on her just because their men do though, or just because the men they admire hate her and hate her being PM.

Funny thing is they always claim it has nothing to do with gender  :^O:^O

Then every reason they come up with contains a gender based attack that they can't even see  :^O
