"Australia has agreed to a $3.5 billion deal with the U.S. to acquire
more than 120 tanks and other armored vehicles to upgrade its military
fleet, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Australian Defense Minister Peter Dutton will confirm the new deal Monday
after the U.S. initially approved the purchase last year.

Australia will commit to buying 75 new M1A2 abrams tanks, 29 explosive-
clearing assault breacher vehicles, 17 assault bridge vehicles, and six
additional armored recovery vehicles."

Gestapo Dutton only does what he is best at....working towards becoming
Australia's first "strong man" leader while brown nosing the US no matter
what damage is done to the country's reputation, its budget and the lives
of its citizens.
And this is just a follow up on the bungled AUKUS-submarine purchase
diplomatic fiasco. Well done --- NOT!

This LNP mob must be thrown out before they manage to completely ruin the
country.

Want to see the most spiteful nasties of Australian politics?
Here I show you:

Just look no farther than the Liberal Party of Australia and
its dumb coalition partner:

This is their fundamental ideology (if one can call it that):
Capitalist neo-liberal/libertarian lies and alternate reality,
Lack of compassion for the already downtrodden,
Sociopathic greed & envy,
Endemic nepotistic and plutocratic corruption,
Vicious hunger for power and "born to rule mentality",
Xtian fundamentalism
Never ending misogyny & homophobia
Undeniable Anglo-Celtic racism and supremacy,
Unbridled hate for the underclasses,
Unrelenting vengeance seeking against political opponents...

Ah. Thanks Ordog. I was talking to a friend yesterday who was spewing
about thisa nd as i had no idea I was jsut makig supportive type noises.

That friend is one who understands the Immigration visa system. The
view from that basis of knowledge is what I suspected all along -
because Djokovic applied for a business visa (a 408 IIRC) that gets an
electronic tick UNLESS there is a flag against the name. Djokovic
wouldn't have had any such flag.
