With one-fifth the population of Australia, Norway has a sovereign wealth fund tens times ours. How? They taxed their natural resources - something successive LibLab governments have failed to do.

Of course, the Russians would see the elephant in the room as NATO being rolled up to its borders - despite the clear undertakings given to Gorbachev.

As to the threat to Australia from Russia: it can't be great. Fort Denison has been an effective deterrent since 1857.
