Thus paving the way for complete <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australian</span></a> independence from military alliances. <br> <br>Mind, this would also involve building mobile ICBM-range weapons with conventional warheads to be truly effective as a deterrent. We might then have to boost our ground forces but need no spend so much on naval plaforms except for <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BorderForce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BorderForce</span></a>. The air forces would be involved in the larger missile and transform its tactics to work with larger drones (UAV) like <a href="https://aus.social/tags/wingman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wingman</span></a> etc. </p><p>But in the long run, cheaper, more secure, more effective ADF and totally independent of any other nation.

Kick their arses on the way out.</p><p>Then (again, rock solid Greens and Independent support for these things. They'll take longer, but we have done *all* of them before):<br>- Kill The Job Network and rebuild CES,<br>- create a Public Housing Construction Commission <br>- implement all the Disability RC findings,<br>- implement all the RoboDebt RC findings and<br>- create a Public Retail Bank.</p><p>What in all the everliving fucks are you doing back there behind the curtain?
