On the upside, at least today, when US and other military personnel are being taught / reminded about the criticality of OPSEC and the possible consequences to own troops, critical information, plans, allied relationships etc there is the Hegseth Houthi Example … 🙄

Brilliant idea by Peter Dutton to suggest woman public servants (not the men obviously) could do part time work or job share 🙄
This will give the ladies more time to iron! Every one’s a winner
I predict Mr Dutton might appoint himself as Minister for Women as well … just like Tony

Three Chinese warships sailed into Sydney Harbour in June 2019
At the time reportedly unannounced
The Government of the day was … umm … the LNP Government
The Defence Minister was Linda Reynolds
The Home Affairs Minister was - checks notes - one Peter Dutton ...

The US public has pushed back on the VA cuts. 👏🏼
The Trump administration has paused the cuts - temporarily. 🙄
Veterans, families and the public pushing back has an impact. 👊
In Australia Mr Dutton should publicly rule out cutting 600 DVA staff
Uncertainty breeds fear.

Fyi there is nil evidence that Defence capability has been impacted adversely by supportive practices for LGBTIQ mates and women. Quite the contrary.
