ASPI Defence Strategy and Capability Senior Analyst Dr Malcolm Davis says if Australia was going to send a Navy warship to the Red Sea, it “would’ve announced it by now”.
Mr Davis told Sky News Australia that he thinks the government is preparing for a formal announcement that we “will not be sending a ship”.
“Instead we will be sending personnel to a maritime headquarters.
“The very significant fact that the Chinese this afternoon have applauded Australia’s decision not to send a ship should tell us an awful lot.
“In terms of having made a wrong choice here.”

Labor out asap
Listen to the mealy mouths making excuses .
US might remember how you are!
I have walked along the beaches and across the ridges of Guadalcanal when there were still the bones of Japanese Soldiers on the ground. I have imagined the horrors of the war fought there to protect Australia from a Japanese invasion. Our saviors were young American boys many of whom died in the effort. Now a request from our No. 1 military partner who is letting us have Nuclear Submarines that they have not offered any one else, is refused by our left wing pussy footed government. Today for the first time in my 80 years, I am ashamed of Australia,
I guess your leaders have decided to do most of your trade thru the SOUTH CHINA SEA!
The Houthis say they will only relent when Israel allows the entry of food and medicine into Gaza; its strikes are intended to inflict economic pain on Israel’s allies in the hope they will pressure it to cease its bombardment of the enclave. With close on 20,000 souls lost so far they think they're doing a humanitarian thing. Of course most of us wouldn't think that.
China supports drone attacks on civilian shipping? Perhaps their own shipping? Its difficult to see the logic of china's positioning on this.
It's simply
we can not defend from possible drone attacks without depletion of resources on our ships
we should not be there,
Australian lives are possibly online, in that regard.
If that's the case, as stated
No one will advocate different
In sending our navel officers and crews, unless the best protection in defence is provided.
for the amountnt of drone attacks,
the ammunition used will leave our crews vulnerable
its serious business over there,
so the government seems to have made the right decision
It's easy to have critiques and other views, but security and safety of any sent should be the major consideration.
Most Australians would agree wholeheartedly.
The Chi com are now pulling a properganderist stunt portraying Australia' as a proxy of Thiers ,3 weeks ago they knew our RAN Divers where in the water checking propulsion ,yet that didn't stop them from actuating High frequency Sonar pulses injuring our Diver's eardrums , Remember the chaff incident months ago pertaining to our RAAF Aircraft?? They're no better than the Iranian Ayatollahs ,In addition which countries are arming Houthis so called Rebels? Iran is one who are the others.To wrap it all up they see us as a pathetic soft touch.
Why on earth would Australia want to send battleships in support of the US no one in the world would do that except the Australian lapdogs free Australia from American imperialism Why should America’s enemies have to be our enemies there’s no reason for us to have China is the enemy other than the Americans want us to have them as an enemy
Sky News does not want what’s good for Australia they are nothing but American lapdogs
Why don’t we have a voice in trying to sort this whole problem out diplomatically instead of jumping straight into war again with the US like we have done for the last 80 years And if you remember it’s always turned out badly every single time
There's…
Weak as piss
Weaker than piss
Then there's Albanese & Marles
What about the 70 percent of Gazans who support Hamas?
All by design . The western nations have been systematically getting disaasembled from within by the ruling classes for decades. Sadly we can't rely on each new generation coming of age because they've been indoctrinated into a belief of false crisises on so many fronts. Currently they are so distracted with identity they are having melts downs when anyone has a difference of opinion. The only tool in their chest of knowlege for dealing with anything boils down to the oppressed or oppressor doctrine. They can't even get that right.
Albo acting on his overlords instructions in the CCP.
Woes of a PM, spineless and duplicitous.
What part of request is declined don't you boys and girls don't understand.
Go and have a good Christmas.
lol off course they would they don’t want us to be capable of defending ourselves.
China must have a lot of faith in the Houthi's targeting precision, because they have a hell of a lot more freight that passes thru the Red Sea than Australia does. China must also possess an obliviousness to the fact there are many players around the world that might sink a Chinese vessel, and blame it on the Houthi's just to see China's reaction.
Australian governments have done an outstanding job……of allowing the LW to make us weak. A lot of our freedoms and culture are built from winning wars. Now, many want to forget and are more concerned with pronouns? The east sees us as "softer than a pensioners turd". Harden up Straya!
Of course China would love to drive a wedge between America and other nations! I’ve really gone off Chinese food lately!!!😡
The right decision has been made by the government.
Australia has made the right decision and US can keep their junk submarines sold at exorbitant price☝️
Not Australia problem, US should butt out of middle east and stop vetoing UN resolutions and none of this shiiit would happen
Can we still say able seaman..
Wow, Australia first time say No to American.
Independent choice or weak choice? 😛😛😛
How to judge?
Good point on Australia (as a part of the West) needing to ensure freedom of navigation globally. Perhaps, the Oz navy isn’t in a position to send a flotilla. One destroyer seems reasonable, however.
I also applaud Australia!
BRAVO AUSTRALIA..
LET THE PEOPLE LEARN THE TRUTH…..
China just sent in their warships to monitor american Warships
Although Australia needs to protect its borders, they should give some task force to help NATO and the other coalitions they are in in the Red Sea, as they would maintain and improve trust with western countries and not put in cause the relationship between them and US
We shouldn't have to jump each time the US asks us to. We don't have as much ADF personnel to spare like they do. We don't need to add more reasons for our enemies to attack Australia. I am happy we are not sending our Navy war ships!! For all those that are upset that we aren't…I bet you would be singing a different tune if one of those Navy personnel was your child you were wanting to send to thay conflict.
All of you that are so quick to jump and demand we send our personnel to that conflict….I would bet anything that none of you have a loved one serving in the ADF. Before offering our ADF out…make sure to enlist as we currently have an extremely low number of people serving to protect our country from enemy forces! Have you stopped to think what you would do if we come into attack? Would you have the cojones to pick up a weapon and fight? Most probably not.
Of course China wants Australia to sever all ties with the USA because that will make us weak!
I AM SURROGATE GRANDSON OF ANZAC WW2 ROYAL ENGINEER GENERAL SIR CLIVE STEEL AND I AGREE WITH AUSTRALIAN LABOUR NOT SENDING WARSHIPS TO RED SEA BECAUSE I AGREE WITH YEMENI HOUTI STOPPING OF SHIPPING IN THE RED SEA UNTIL ISREAL STOPS THIS ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI NA-ZI GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE.
ALL THESE ROYALS INCLUDING PRINCE WILLIAM AND HARRY ARE RACISTS THEY ARE NA-ZI BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT THE JEWISH RACIST ZIONIST STATE OF ISREAL IN PALESTINE FOUNDED BY UK LORD BALFOUR DECLARATION TO UK LORD ROTHSCHILDS BANKING CARTELS IN 1917 REDRAWING BOARDERS OF THE WORLD AT THE END OF WW1 AND WW2 HAS ALOWED ISREALI NA-ZI NATIONAL SOCIALISTS AND ZIONISTS PARTIES TO RULE THE WORLD EAST AND WEST THAT HAS BEEN EXPANDING EVER SINCE AND NOW INTENDS MONOPOLIZING TRADE FROM CHINESE CCP BELT AND ROAD INNITIATIVE FROM A GREATER ISREAL WHICH WILL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO STARVE AFRICA AND EUROPE.
IF JEWS DONT WANT AN ISREALI STATE WHY DOES THE WORLDS ELITES RFK JNR AND UK ROYALS AND VIVEK RAMASWAMY USA PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND UK ROYALS SUPPORT ISREALI ROTHSCHILDS ZIONISM?
USA REPUBLICAN CONGRESMAN RIGHT WING RON PAUL SAID ISREALI INTELLIGENCE CREATED PALESTINIAN ISLAMIST MILITIA HAMAS TO TAKE OUT THE PLO SECULAR PALESTINIAN LIBERATION ORGANIZATION AND ITS LEADER YASSIR ARRIFAT WAS POISONED AND DIED PREMATURELY THESE ARE THE METHODS OF VENETIAN PARTY BLACK NOBILITY ILLUMINATI LORD ROTHSCHILDS BANKING CARTELS AND BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI UK FREEMASONS LORD BALFOUR DECLARATION TO LORD ROTHSCHILD THAT UK INTENDED ESTABLISHING EUROPEAN YIDDISH GERMANIC SLAVIC RUSSIAN JEWISH SETTLMENTS IN PALESTINE NOVEMBER 1917 WAS ALWAYS AND ACT OF TREASON AS IS MAINSTREAM MEDIA COVERAGE OF TWIN TOWERS SABOTAGE 911 WHERE BBC JANE STANDLEY READ OUT SCRIPTED NEWS AND ANNOUNCED BUILDING 7 COLLAPSE TWENTY MINUTES PRIOR TO IT HAPPENING. AND DANCING ISREALI ZIONISTS WERE PICKED UP FOR CELEBRATING TWIN TOWERS COLLAPSE ON THE 911 DAY BUT WERE QUICKLY FLOWN HOME TO ISREAL AS WERE BIN LADEN FAMILY SAUDI ARAB PATSYS IN TWIN TOWERS SABOTAGE BIN LADEN ALSO AN ISLAMIST WAS ALSO A CIA AGENT SAME AS HAMAS CREATED BY ISREAL IN THE 1990S.
ISREAL IS BEING EXPANDED BY VENETIAN PARTY ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST PRIVATE RESERVE BANKING CARTELS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CCP CHINESE COMMUNIST BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE A ROAD RAIL LINK FROM CHINA TO EUROPAN AND AFRICAN TRADE. SO THESE ARE THE MOTIVES BEHIND ISREAL INTELIGENCE AND CIA ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST CREATED HAMAS ISLAMIST ATTACK FROM GAZA STRIP IT WAS TO PROMOTE ISREAL EXPANDING INTO GAZA STRIP AND VIA SINAI DESERT TO EGYPT AND SYRIA AND RUSSIA SHOULD TAKE GOLAN HIEGHTS BACK JUST TO LET ISREAL KNOW IT HAS REACHED THE LIMITS OF EXPANSION AS IT IS BELEIVED BY MOST CITIZENS OF WESTERN STYLE DEMOCRACIES THAT ISREAL ENGINEERED THE DESTRUCTION OF TWIN TOWERS 2001 911 TO PROVOKE WAR IN IRAN IRAQ AND AFGANISTAN.
ISREAL WAS FORMED BY UK LORD BALFOUR DECLARATION TO LORD ROTHSCHILDS FREEMASONIC CABALIST ZIONISTS BANKING CARTEL 1917 TO CONTROL IRAN IRAQ OIL FLOWS SO NAZIS OF WW1 COULD NOT GET FUEL SO NOW THAT WE HAVE MANY ALTERNATE ENERGY SOURCES ISREAL SERVES NO PURPOSE FOR WESTERN NATIONS EXCEPT TO CONTROL THE CHINESE COMMUNIST BELT AND ROAD PROJECTS ACCESS TO EUROPE AND AFRICAN TRADE SO THIS IS WHY ISREAL IS SEEKING TO EXPAND AND HAS KEPT EXPANDING SINCE 1948 TAKING OVER MORE AND MORE PALESTINE LAND AND THAT OF SYRIA AND LEBANON EVENTUALY ISREAL WILL TRY TO TAKE TURKY AND SINAI DESERT AND EGYPT IF ISREAL IS NOT SHUT DOWN AND RETURNED TO PALESTINE ISREAL ALSO DID DO 911 TWIN TOWERS SABOTAGE TO TRY TO MOTIVATE USA AND UK AND COMMONWEALTH ALLIES TO MAKE WAR AGAINST IRAN IRAQ AND AFGANISTAN ALL OF THESE WARS HAVE BEEN LOST USA CONTROLS NOBODY BECAUSE USA IS SO FAR IN DEBT IT DOES THE BIDDING OF CCP CHINESE COMMUNISTS WHO LEND MONEY TO AMERICA WHICH IS BANKRUPTED BY THESE ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST PRIVATE RESERVE BANKERS STATE OF PERPETUAL WARS.
I AM SURROGATE GRANDSON OF WW2 ANZAC ROYAL ENGINEER GENERAL SIR CLIVE STEEL AND MY MATERNAL GRANDFATHER WAS WW1 ANZAC LIGHTHORSE BRIGADESMAN LINDSAY BILSON FROM COLAC. WHOS ANZAC LIGHTHORSE BRIGADE 1917 BROTHERS IN ARMS CAPTURED BERSHEEBA FROM OTTOMAN TURK IN PALESTINE ENDING WW1 BECAUSE THIS CUT OFF THE SUPPLY OF IRAN'S OIL TO FASCIST GERMAN FORCES AND OTTOMAN TURKS OF WW1. I BELIEVE THE BLACK NOBILITY THE HUN CAUCASIAN STEP HORSE RIADER CONE HEAD MEGALITHIC SITE OCCUPIERS ISREALI ROTHSCHILDS ZIONISTS FREEMASONIC CABALISTS REPRESENT THE PRESENCE OF AN ALIEN CAUCASIAN SPECIES POSSIBLY DESCENDENTS OF PARACAS SKULL NON APE HOMINID DNA.
SO I REGARD THE VENETIAN PARTY AS BEHIND JULIAN ASSANGE JAILING FOR REPORTING KISSENGER JEWISH ZIONIST USA WAR CRIMES "COLLATERAL MURDER IRAQ". AND NOVEMBER 1917 UK LORD BALFOUR DECLARATION ( OF YIDDISH GERMANIC JEWISH SETTLMENTS IN PALESTIEN THAT BECAME ISREAL IN 1948 POST WW2) TO LORD ROTHSCHILDS UK BANKING CARTEL WAS AN ACT OF TREASON.
THESE BLACK NOBILITY VENETIAN PARTY MIGRATED NORTH INTO HOLLAND DENMARK SCANDENAVIA DURING CRUSADES AND WILLIAM THE CONQUERORS SON WAS PRESENT ON THE FIRST CRUSADE TO JERUSALEM 1093. SO THE WEST IS STILL ENGAGED IN CRUSADES TO CONTROL PALESTINE AND TURKY BECAUSE THEY WILL BE CENTERS OF TRADE ONCE CHINESE BELT AND ROAD PROJECT RAIL ROAD LINK TO EUROPE IS FINISHED. AT PRESENT YIDDISH GERMANIC JEWS ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST WISH TO EXPAND GREATER ISREAL TO CONTROL AND TAX TRADE ON BELT AND ROAD PROJEC T.
WESTERN SUPPORT FOR YIDDISH GERMANIC JEWISH RACIST STATE OF ISREAL IN PALESTINE REVSERED MY GRANDFATHERS LIGHTHORSE BRIGADE VICTORY OVER OTTOMAN TURK FASCISTS AND GERMAN NAZI WW1. MOST AUSTRALIANS LIKE OUR INDIGENOUS ABORIGINEE WHO GET TO VOTE AND RECIEVE SOCIAL SECURITY BENIFITS AND FREE MEDICAL AND EDUCATIONAL CARE UNLIKE THE PALESTINIANS OF GAZA STRIP THE NATIVE INHABITANTS OF PALESTINE ARE NOT GRANTED THE RIGHT TO LIFE BY ISREALI ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI BLACK NOBILITY FREEMASONIC CABALISTS.
IF ONE CONSIDERS THE PURPOSE OF 1917 END OF WW1 UK LORD BALFOUR DECLARATION TO LORD ROTHSCHILDS BANKING DYNASTY THAT THE PURPOSE OF UK CITY OF LONDON CORP CONTROLED ISREAL IS TO CONTROL THE FLOW OF IRAN IRAQ OIL TO THE WESTERN ALLIED NATIONS. IRAN IRAQ IS NOW CONTROLED BY RUSSIAN AND CHINESE COMMUNIST FASCISTS SO THE WEST NO LONGER NEEDS ISREAL NOR ACADEMICS WHO SUPPORT EINSTEIN CLOWNS BIG BANG THEORY GENERAL RELATIVITY AND THE LIKE.
WW1 STOPPED THE SUPPLY OF IRAQ IRAN OIL TO THE NAZIS END OF WW1 BECAUSE ANZAC AUSTRALIANS AND OTHERS CAPTURED PALESTINE FROM OTTOMAN TURK AND ENSURED IRAN IRAQ SAUDI ARAB MIDDLE EAST OIL FLOWS TO THE WEST RATHER THAN OUR GERMANIC YIDDISH NAZI HEBREW PHONETIAN VENETIAN BABYLONIAN BANKER NAZI AND CORPORATE FASCIST BUSH SKULL AND BONER ,AND HENRY FORD USA CHRISTIAN ZIONIST SUPPORTED THE ENEMY OF ANGLO AMERICAN ALLIED FORCES DURING WW1 AND WW2 EFFECTIVELY BACKING BOTH SIDES IN WW1 AND WW2 AND PROFITED FROM THIS.
THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC SUPPORT AUSTRALIAN WIKILEAKS JULIAN ASSANGE AND ANZAC AUSTRALIANS AND AUKUS SHOULD NOT SUPPORT THE EXISTENCE OF AN ISREALI RACIST JEWISH ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST NA-ZI STATE IN PALESTINE. THE PROBLEM IS ROTHSCHILDS NAZI ZIONISM FOUNDED IN 1933 GERMANY WHEN HITLERS NATIONAL SOCIALISTS ALLIED WITH GERMAN JEWISH ZIONIST GOVERMENT IN CHARGE THESE ISREALI ROTHSCHILDS ZIONISTS TYPICALY BACK BOTH SIDES IN WARS BEING THE VENETIAN PARTY BLACK NOBILITY THAT MOVED NORTH INTO SCANDENAVIA DENMARK HOLLAND DURING CRUSADES IT IS SEEN THAT 1093 WILLIAM THE CONQUERORS SON WENT ON THE FIRST CRUSADE TO CLAIM JERUSALEM FROM ISLAMISTS WHO BECAME OTTOMAN EMPIRE. IT IS THOUGHT THESE SELUCID TURKS INSPIRED MAHOMET THE PROFIT AND THEY WERE DESCEMDED FROM SCYTHIAN ASSYRIAN BLACK SEA AREA CAUCASIAN FACISTS STEP HORSE MONGOL TURK MITHRAS CULT OF BULL SACRIFICING NUTTERS SO THESE HUN NAZIS WERE NO DOUBT WORKING FOR VENETIAN BLACK NOBILITY, IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO CREAT A WARING WORLD AND THESE ROTHSCHILDS ZIONISTS ARE VERY GOOD AT IT AS IT IS PROFITABLE FOR PRIVATE RESERVE BANKERS TO BACK BOTH SIDES IN WARS WE CAN EXPECT A STATE OF PERPETUAL WARFARE WHILE ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI ARE IN CHARGE OF THE WESTERN SO CALLED DEMOCRATIC SO CALLED FREE WORLD.
Australia should just stay neutral on this. Unless these issues directly impact us, I say stay neutral and focus on issues in the Pacific and also domestic issues. Also, been neutral and having links to allies of both sides, such as China and the US, can mean that we can become a mediator between Israel and Palestine for a ceasefire and also, between Russia and Ukraine for a ceasefire. If I was running the country, I would base the political system on staying neutral and promoting diplomatic peace. I declare this as Democratic-Neutralism. We support Democracy, Freedom of Speech, and staying Neutral and equal where we can & stand our own ground where we must.
Australia should just stay neutral on this. Unless these issues directly impact us, I say stay neutral and focus on issues in the Pacific and also domestic issues. Also, being neutral and having links to those on both sides can mean that we can become one of the main mediators and an important peacemaker in these ending conflicts. In addition, can also provide both sides with civilian & humanitarian aid in exchange for a ceasefire. If I were running the country, I would base the political system on staying neutral and promoting diplomatic peace. I declare this as Democratic-Neutralism. We support Democracy, Freedom of Speech, and staying Neutral and equal where we can & stand our own ground where we must. As a multicultural nation, choosing sides can and will divide this country. Staying Neutral on the other hand, will unite us during these dark times. That's why I believe that my Democratic-Neutralism concept would work in stabilizing relations & uniting our citizens.
The US has made a major point about East Asia and the Indo Pacific being the most important places where the US and Australia should work together on for regional security. Australia is simply staying with that strategy.
Australia's security policy should be about ITS OWN REGION, which is Asia, not the far Middle East.
China's pretty boy would never turn on his master
This is the wong choice……😊
But thats what its really all about the Labor party pleasing their masters in the CCP
Are labor and the C C P, seem very comfortable together.
When Australia is threatened by China Northern countries should not intervene!
too many distractions going on
LOL OZZIES
Australia's independent foreign policy is a sign of weakness.
