#Auspol As sadly we need to increase our Defence spending, I'd like to see Australia and Canada see our Defence Industries work together more as well. I 100% trust Canada as a loyal friend and ally.

Well, we had France also, before Scomo stabbed them in the back 😒. As well as picking fights with China. We don't need that kind of drama back, and Dutton would bring that kind of drama back. No, thanks. We like having friends.
We wronged the French. I was really pissed with France for testing Nukes in our region years ago and won't forgive that. I couldn't blame them for staying angry with us over this.
That was under Chirac, wasn't it? Definitely awful. Obviously as I grew up near France, I would prefer Australia to be close with the European union, and drop trade with the pernicious US government that wants to sell "toned down equipment" to its "allies". Canada is (& has always been) well loved 🙂
And all countries need to stop trusting the US with any defence products. Elon Musk and Donald Trump have proved that they will use any reliance in either 🇺🇸 or Musk co.'s to extort concessions which are dangerous and inconsistent with a country's values and sovereignty.
We don’t need to increase defence spending at all, they just need to use it more wisely instead of cash splashes and no accountability in where money is currently spent. The ADF is incredibly wasteful
I agree about waste. Strongly disagree about the need to increase Defence spending. We can't count on America to defend us so we need to build a Defence Force capable of preventing enemies landing large numbers of troops and stopping those that land
And if you have the 'No one will ever go to war against Australia ' Attitude. Europe had that Attitude after the USSR fell now Russia want to conquer Europe
I hear what you are saying but more money does not equal more people. We already have an issue with enlistment. Best to form ties with close partners geographically and put more money into drones instead of subs we can’t man, use close to shore and would mean becoming a dumping ground for waste
right back at you Jessica! and it really helps that our 2 great nations are not bitter sports rivals in any sport- like we have our hockey (no one in Canada calls it ice hockey) and you have your rugby!
