We will be told, quite soon, to pull our weight rather than relying on our allies to run up their deficits while defending us. Grown up countries defend themselves. Colonies wait for someone else to protect them.

I'm not saying we shouldn't. We just shouldn't borrow money to do it.

Well, issue a .... Seawater Cap-tn-Trade tax! The Liberals will figure out a way of squeezing it out of you.

One of the biggest lingering failures of the last government was that, despite their talking the talk, they utterly failed to commit to naval replacements. We should be commissioning two new AORs this year with three or four destroyers under construction on the ways, right now but they pissed away a whole decade for nought.
