Prospects for an Australian Defense Industry Fund
- ggm 4y agoWe have more important problems to solve with sovereign funds. And I really do mean "we" this is my economy, I live here and vote, and I won't be voting for this use of funds against other Australian problems. Now if ASPI circle around and ask for funding to make military tech onshore, for strategic upsides and jobs I'd reconsider. Start with the subs. There is far too much "war with China is inevitable" ranting going on in Australia. It doesn't help that the main voice against is Keating, he's old and polarising. Soft power lasts longer. Restart the Colombo model, fund tertiary education for people going back home in Asia pacific economies, build friends at scale.
