We Live In A Totally Delusional, False Sense Of Security!
10 Million Australians and their businesses are crippled right now, and we did it to ourselves.
Imagine, what could a hostile foreign power do if they wished?
COVID sent us a warning and highlighted our vulnerability to having almost eliminated our manufacturing sector and holding only days supplies of essential products - fuel and pharmaceuticals in
How often do we hear the outcry, we must invest millions to create some facility or change some processes 'so it never happens again'?
Yet it does, again and again.
We are a disgrace; we don't deserve the great, once significantly self-sufficient Nation we've been left by our forebears - we abuse it.
It's high time we stopped deluding ourselves and created a Dept. of Vulnerability to identify, prioritize, and implement the planning and investment to remove our areas of unacceptable vulnerability ..... and to grow up and recognize we cannot remove all our vulnerabilities.
The kinds of absurd vulnerabilities to which I refer are the the things like no IVF nurses in remote areas - yes, there was a media story yesterday, bleating about that terrible shortcoming in our health system.
That we spend millions of industry and government officer hours and dollars, addressing diversity, inclusion and equity, when those issues have been substantially successfully addressed, yet we have huge vulnerabilities which effect our national security and health, is nothing short of ludicrous.
That the leadership of the Corporate Establishment remains silent in full knowledge of this frightful vulnerability, highlights their moral bankruptcy and ignorance of what it means to be a leader in our community.
