Senator Molan had spoken about our lack of strategic oil reserves. Complacency of all our major political parties has put Australia in great peril.

Hi John, thank you so much for this interview! I am a Kiwi and I have been banging on about this to my family and friends about the situation in NZ which is many times worse than Australia. We closed our only refinery, we can’t explore for gas or coal or any thing else and we have mandated reserves of Diesel of 21 days plus we have no coastal shipping and no international. No one in NZ is even aware of this. I will send this vid to as many people as possible

@@gordonflash8976 what's most upsetting, is that the wider public is oblivious to a number of serious issues pertaining to our sovereignty and governance. We've de industrialised, we're stripping our power infrastructure to ensure that we have no energy independence and we are giving control of a large portion of OUR country to a handful of incompetent and corrupt indigenous land councils. Aaaand we'll keep voting for the likes of Albo. What a waste.

I consider myself fairly well informed about strategic issues and defence, but this completely blind sided me. You’re just starting to get your second wind John with your podcasts - this is brilliant. My somewhat jaded view of ‘why’ this is being ignored - by both sides of politics - is that it has not come up in the focus groups or polls, so the issue simply doesn’t exist. We really are in a bit of a pickle.

Hi John, I'm impressed with your discussion concerning maritime shipping. Australia and New Zealand also described as Australasia seem to have failed to grasp their strategic-global position concerning jointly owned -maritime fleets and including an efficient military navy to assure its protection. Another important factor revolves around the Marine Insurance Costs and protection of exporters and importers etc. Thanks for elevating this issue for public discourse, much appreciated by myself.

A great discussion John, one that needs to be expanded to include a whole bunch of Australian allies and friends. Having been involved in the shipping industry since 1980 (ex- superintendent, Fleet Manager, Fleet Director, ect.) I've seen first hand how the west in general has slowly backed out of their involvement in the industry. Unfortunately, people in the industrial world have forgotten where their 'stuff'' comes from. Almost everything we touch has had to be carried on a ship; it's an industry that has unfortunately fallen under the radar. We need to raise this issue as a serious defecit in the west and begin to discuss how we restore our involvement in the shipping industry for strategic reasons, if nothing else. Thanks for putting a flag in the ground on this issue - the conversation needs to get louder!

Australia was federated in 1901 to provide a navy to defend the continent and to restrict our immigration to white Europeans. Our founding fathers recognised the problems facing North America and South Africa on this issue and did not want it for Australia. Our federal government nolonger serves a purpose. It could be argued they are facilitating our continents invasion.

@jaysmith3361 Oh both sides contributed. Before Malcolm there was Whitlam. He replaced the remaining shreds of the white Australia policy with multiculturalism in 1973. And then in 1975 introduced legislation proven to have destroyed the American nuclear family. I've become convinced they all follow globalist puppet masters.

During the Faklands conflict there was a number of Australian ships the Australian Government was making plans to make available to assist. Like wise before the Australians ramped up for conflict in Timor, the ADF was looking to the Australian Merchant Tanker fleet to supply fuel and storage to the ADF in theatre. Only recently Australian manned vessels offered humanitarian relief to the people of Mallacoota days before the ADF could get their ducks in order.

Great interview about a serious problem with expert guests. However, a couple of statements made relating to international rankings were brutal. Peter Court said that Australia had the 12th or 13th largest economy in the world. Absolutely not. The IMF projections for GDP on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis show Australia as the 21st largest economy in the world barely ahead of Taiwan in 22nd place. Nor do the IMF estimates show America as the number one economy as John said. China is number one with an economy that is larger than those of the United States and Mexico combined. The SNA Manuals have favoured GDP on a PPP basis as the best way to rank economies since the 1993 update of the manual. Why do people even use nominal GDP as the gauge anymore. I should say that there are also GDP on a PPP basis estimates compiled by the World Bank and the CIA. They differ slightly in their rankings of different countries. (The World Bank now believes Russia has the 5th largest economy while the IMF still shows it as number 6.) Like most people, I generally reference the IMF estimates, not because they are necessarily better, but because they are more timely than those of their competitors. You are a recidivist in making such statements, John. Please don’t continue. It really lowers the credibility of your show.

As close as the Australian-US relationship is, Australians should realize that as long as the US has an immigration crisis, US support beyond the status quo for any ally will be a hard fought battle in Congress. The longer the immigration crisis goes on, the stronger the grip of US isolationism becomes.

That was long ago and far away. When Australia federated in 1901, a navy was the biggest priority. The other priority was keeping a British culture. In 1973 the priority became multiculturalism and globalisation. My personal opinion is that our federal government is defunct. We don't need more globalisation. We need fifty years less.

Considering that we're talking about shipping, something peculiarly strange must be the root of the problem ... because men have made boats and navigated them for their purposes since before the records of antiquity. It could be an effect of feminism, where our whole economy began operating under it's supervision, and resulting in the smothering of virtually all the infinite tasks that men do, both professional and amateur.

Australia is dependant on overseas shipping lines for all its trade The cruise ships are all overseas owned including P&O Australia which is gone forever next year. Columbus line a German shipping company used to make profits for Germany carrying cargo between 🇦🇺 and 🇺🇸 Australia is such a backward country head in the sand. Anderson was in government when the decline was going on.shame on him. It was about getting cargo to wherever destinations has cheap as freight rates could be thats why China dominates today.
