No real need. Australia is quite dependant on China for economic factors.
It won't be long before China has greater influence than Washington D.C. in Canberra.

Few would expect a tough-as-nails Chief of Army to be recognised internationally for his commitment to gender equality, diversity and inclusion. But when former Lieutenant-General David Morrison ordered misbehaving troops to ‘get out’ if they couldn’t accept women as equals, his video went viral and he started a cultural shift that has changed Australia’s armed forces forever.
Since then, the number of women joining the army has grown by two per cent and the culture is more accepting of racial, ethnic and sexual diversity.
In 2014, David was invited to speak at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, sharing the stage with US Secretary of State John Kerry and actor and activist Angelina Jolie, and arguing that militaries that exclude women ‘do nothing to distinguish the soldier from the brute’. David retired in 2015 after 36 years in the Australian Army, and four years as its Chief, but he continues his commitment as a champion of human rights in his new role as the Chair of the Diversity Council Australia.
I can say as an ex soldier this guy is the most hated Commander of the ADF in a long time.
I do not have one military friend that likes him.
As far as we are all concerned he stabbed us in the back.He didn't look after he's men when we were at war and has done FUCK ALL in regards to veteran issues.
My FB feed from all my army mates about him is mainly hatred..I can not stomach him
RE: Australian Of The Year 2016: Men Need Not Apply
I wouldn't wipe my ass with this award.
Didn't the person who won it last year, just get it for being a victim? Like the dumb bitch knew her husband wanted to kill people, so she let him baby sit whilst she went out for a while, came back, kids were dead. Then because she was a good victim of her own bad choices, she wins some shitty award.
This is the decadence of society. Rewarding bad choices.

Fuck its bad enough some phaggots at NZDF HQ decide to rename infantryman into something more'inclusive' and' gender neutral'...

Not exactly. Rosie Batty made a poor fucking choice in picking a bloke to first fuck and then actually have a kid with. She met her husband in 1992, they had a short relationship which lasted 2 years, and during which he beat her. She then had another relationship with him in 2001, didn't use protection, and their son, Luke Batty, was the result. She ended the relationship in 2002, but kept seeing him on and off from 2004 through to 2014. and even through continued bashings and reports to police.
Her ex eventually started threatening his son with a knife, at which point Batty decided to stop contact with him. The husband then got to their son at a sporting oval. He beat the kid to death with a cricket bat in broad daylight. The boy was 11 years old.
What they generally don't tell you was that her husband was mentally ill, but undiagnosed and deeply distrustful of doctors. It's not something she likes to admit a lot, though. Rosie Batty isn't campaigning on men's mental health, though, which is widely recognised as badly underfunded. She campaigns exclusively on domestic violence and got her AOTY award for that. Bear in mind domestic violence already has any number of shelters and independent funding in Australia. While domestic violence probably does take place, this woman campaigning on it and then getting an award for it is sort of like FDR announcing Pearl Harbour had occurred and that he was declaring war on aviation. It is a dreadful misidentification of the problem in her case.

RE: Australian Of The Year 2016: Men Need Not Apply
What gets me into regard to the murder of the kid Luke Anderson..not Batty.Is that the dads there actually ran to Luke's aid.Yet no mention of these men as heros or the Police officers that had to shoot the offender.
Quote:FOR a bloke with a decent military record, you would think Australian of the Year David Morrison would know a thing or two about picking his battles.
But so far, the former Chief of Army has disappointed in his fight for diversity while in the role, using the massive megaphone he’s been handed for all the wrong reasons.
When Lieutenant General Morrison accepted the title off the back of an attention-grabbing speech advocating the equal treatment of women in Australia’s armed forces, he did so with a promise.
The military heavyweight turned equality fighter promised to be unlike past Australians of the Year who seemed to consider the position a largely ceremonial one — accepting invitations to openings and cheques for speeches, and mostly being forgotten about by the rest of the country until the Australia Day handover to the next year’s top Aussie.
Quote:Last year’s honouree, Rosie Batty, was always going to be a hard act to follow.
CP - Oh yeah?
Quote:The family violence campaigner didn’t just use the platform, she absolutely flogged it to spread her message, inciting a royal commission into family violence and forcing it onto the national agenda in a way even the prime ministers that served during her year-long reign and beyond couldn’t ignore.
Rosie Batty changed the game and Mr Morrison promised to keep it on course.
In his acceptance speech this Australia Day, Mr Morrison acknowledged she had “set a benchmark for us all”, and pledged to live up to it. In an interview the following day, he told me he wanted to “be a voice”, and that his battle for diversity wouldn’t “come about by talking, it comes about by action”.
Quote:Fast forward to June, almost halfway through the year, and the biggest splash Mr Morrison has made is through a bizarre video advocating for sensitive, inclusive language in the workplace, and a woeful campaign to ban the use of the apparently discriminatory term “hey guys” in Australian workplaces.
It’s through his role as chair of the Australian Diversity Council and the profile that comes with being awarded Australian of the Year that this bizarre campaign has garnered so much attention, but it’s gained more ridicule than support.
And it’s not just the absurdity of the campaign that misses the mark so badly that's disappointing, it’s what it comes at the expense of that truly infuriates.
Mr Morrison is pitching his war on words as a battle in the fight for gender equality in the workplace. According to him, the use of the term “guys”, when directed at women, “is at its root discriminatory”.
But as I’m sure my fellow Australian working women would agree, there are more pressing targets Mr Morrison could take aim at.
While the potential offence delivered with the phrase “hey guys” is debatable, the undeniable facts are these: Women are on average paid 17.9 per cent less that men, we have an estimated 25 per cent of Australian companies that are without a single female manager, and there are other, genuine barriers to the equal participation of women in the workforce.
There are real battles to be fought here, and turning the focus to petty arguments, devaluing the worthy ones, is the reason the war is being lost.
So from down under, here's a big HEY GUYS! to you all

Here, lemme translate that quote into proper English...
"David retired in 2015 after 36 years of sociopathic leftist political arse-licking to further his career at the expense of Australia and its defense. Most prominent are his four years as Chief, where he was prepared to surrender the country over to any outside threat, if the need had arisen. Now retired, he seeks to continue to weaken the country and to increase the growing second-class citizenship of white heterosexual men not part of the social elite."

The media is primarily marketed to women; turning off most of the mainstream entertainment media save sports and stocking up on a few "manly" shows like the Sopranos is probably a good bet.

Meanwhile, a [Protected Gender Class Soldier] was crying in our local court recently after her [Protected Minority Class Soldier From Women-Disrespecting Culture] was let off on bail, despite violently-raping her on base, neither of whom would be anywhere near the armed forces to begin with if the bullshit delusion that Diversity increases Harmony didn't exist.
I'm sure as he repeatedly-violated her with each thrust, and she stared at the ceiling, humiliated, hurting, and wanting to die, she pictured David Morrison smugly-beaming down at her, and took small comfort in the fact that he'd be congratulating her for being on the right side of history, because, currently-bleeding from the vagina or not, at least she's not racist.
As expected, this didn't make the National News. They're too busy whining about how discussion of a TV Presenter's dress is 'misogynistic'.
I'm not upset over this. It would be shocking-racist of me to judge their cultural norms negatively from a colonialist white male perspective. Meh. #NotMyTribe

The sports thing from a spectator perspective, while I can see value in the camaraderie it engenders amongst men, is all too often the male equivalent of female gossip circles & reality tv indulgence.
Read a book instead & have a mate around to relax with a beer & chew over the finer points of life.
Win for you. Win for him. And a loss for male herd mentality group think & the ever diminishing resource of time on this planet.
I just can't get involved in sport unless I'm doing it. It feels as meaningless these days as playing video games. Not hating on either, but as I get older I have to really question the value I receive from any investment in my time & act accordingly to my desires for myself & this existential experience.

Don't keep up with sports very much myself but thought of keeping up with it more because most of the guys in my neck of the words are into it, so I end up feeling excluded from conversations.

Sure. I can understand that. I'm a tradie (so it's discussed ad nauseum at work) & live with another & he's got the footy on every night (its on 5 night s out of 7 over here). All the blokes nearby come round to watch at our place (mostly to get away from their wives). As I said, it can be a great thing to bond with other blokes & I do enjoy watching an evenly matched game. Cricket is something I can't watch on my own, but if I'm over at my brothers & he can explain the finer points of the game to me as he understands it, I can certainly appreciate the appeal.
When it becomes a lifestyle thing & you start talking about "my team" etc is when it is starting to be more of a hinderance than a help. Each to their own however.

True, it tends to attract a herd mentality, when people identify too much with "their team" or "their group" it can indicate weakness as an individual.
On a lighter note, it's sad to see Australia descending from this:

Quote:An inspirational scientist and international leader in stem cell research, Professor Alan Mackay-Sim has given hope to thousands of Australians with spinal cord injuries. A global authority on the human sense of smell and the biology of nasal cells, Alan led the world’s first clinical trial using these cells in spinal cord injury. In 2014, Alan’s research helped play a central role in the world’s first successful restoration of mobility in a quadriplegic man. As the director of the National Centre for Adult Stem Cell Research for a decade, Alan’s research has championed the use of stem cells to understand the biological bases of brain disorders and diseases such as schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. Alan’s pioneering work has led to collaborations with teams of health professionals who are translating his research into clinical practice. He has laid the foundation for the next generation of researchers and demonstrated the value of inquiry, persistence and empathy.
Quote:The Queensland researcher, whose groundbreaking work on stem cells was crucial to the first ever successful case of restoring a quadriplegic person’s ability walk, was awarded the top honour out of eight finalists including anti-slavery activist Andrew Forrest, dementia advocate Kate Swaffer and former child soldier turned lawyer Deng Adut.
