Sky News contributor Steve Price slams “both sides” of politics over the lack of investment in Australian military hardware over the years.
“We, and both sides of politics, I should say, are to blame here, we have a Dad’s Army of a navy,” Mr Price said.
“Respected defence experts who have been warning of this for decades made it very clear that our fleet is old, and in many instances, it’s clapped out.
“Our ships don’t have any of their own armed drone repelling hardware, and one expert I heard this morning, and I have no reason to doubt him, said we would have to use missiles worth a million dollars each to shoot down a thousand dollar drone.
“This is what lack of leadership looks like in real time.”

They are probably there to obtain reliable intelligence
For genuinely weak leadership, may I suggest the UK? Even more worrying, the opposition is worse!
So SNA resorts to having someone with no military experience or experience in defence studies slamming defence decisions, just to drum up dissent. SAD.
Just a heads up — ADF personal are not permitted into security sensitive areas over there,
Thankyou labor
I hate albo but i recall the armed forces going to shit with scomo or before that.
Maybe Alan Jones could step in IF HE'S NOT TO BUSY.
He could show them a bit leadership and discipline… 😊
Thank you to Israel for its contribution to global transportation trade. I have always had a few questions:
Why were Jews pursued by ancient Egyptians and what did they do?
What did they do in Germany and Europe before World War II?
What did they do during the Asian financial crisis?
What did Jews do when Britain sold drugs to Asia in the late 18th century.
What did the Jews do to Palestine? Why is their current territory five times larger than the United Nations resolution, while Palestine is almost disappearing.
Why did the Jews saved by Schindler sue Schindler for exploiting labor? Schindler's later years were very miserable.
The Shanghai Consulate has provided over 400000 visas to Jews. Why did these Jews come to China to cooperate with Japanese aggressors in an attempt to establish a Jewish state in Northeast China (the pufferfish plan).
Why is a significant portion of the economy and politics in the United States now Jewish?
Military investment?
Seems like our politicians are more interested in sending our money and equipment overseas.
And looking after themselves
We cannot have both, we either have a bloated overpaid government or a defence force
I am ashamed to be an Australian after this, 3 of my uncles fought for this Country in WW2.You don't let your mates down, shame on this Woke Government.
A carbon copy of the disgraced and dumped labour mess in NZ, bereft of any proper policies plans, only ideology and stupidity.
Yes Liberals left with no built strategy for the Navy. Years behind schedule. Righties always say one thing and the outcome is another.
Nothing to worry about. We're getting nuclear subs in 20 or 30 years.
They were investing more into new genders approval
Cause the Aus Military is to busy fighting fires and providing assistance in natural disasters…..
Why do you think they are struggling to recruit…. join the Navy, learn how to be a Combat Systems Operator…. and you'll be handing out Orange juice or filling sandbags during a flood!
