Latest Islamic terrorist incident. The victim was Curtis Cheng a 58 year father of two who worked as an accountant with the police. Once again, as the two other recent attacks, the Muslim was shot dead by the police...

Story from an international publication about a European company. Australia's new submarine fleet is going to be a very, very big contract and can understand why potential partners would be doing all they can to get it. But can't see any indication, based on this story, that the Japanese still...

Australia Special Forces enter Iraq on diplomatic passports They beg for help and when someone sends some, they keep them out of the country. Is good they want to solve their own problems, but they haven't been doing such a good job. Can guarantee any other countries considering assisting them...

Al Jazeera... Islamic State/ Bin Laden's mouth piece???? Their opinion is worthwhile because? Guess you must be a moderator @cobra commando to be able to post with out any message. _________________________ Australian women and Jews prevented from entry to Saudi Arabia. Western...

An RAN patrol boat, in Saigon.

An Afghani, in Melbourne, attacked two police officers. He had knives. The police had guns. The attacker was shot dead. Melbourne terror shooting: Numan Haider 'planned to behead Victoria Police officers, drape bodies in IS flag'

Australian terror raids: AFP, ASIO move on suspected terrorists Would seem you were exactly correct. Photo from hospital of some hero who, apparently, was planning to behead an Australian. Gets a little smack from a cop and receives medical treatment. The World is a funny place. ___________...

Is a strange coincidence this public alert happens after Abbott announces we'll be sending ~600 troops, including 8 Super Hornets and SAS to Iraq. Still, it might be legitimate and it's better to be safe than sorry.

Yes, it's a good story. I should have said there will be a 1,000 stories about this subject, soon. Submarines are expensive. The press loves talking about how much money has been spent. OK. So are a racist POS. Nice to know

One story, from an independent media source, justifies your comment "they would not stop vilifying Adani Group, Coal India,, etc. in every Australian media outlet" ? If you hate Australia so much, why does it matter to you what some Australian journalist writes?

Not sure where you got the idea "Australia wants the Indian defence pie"... We don't really export arms. Are you talking about the help SAAB is giving you with your warships? Niche tends to be synonymous with cheap/ project involving little money. Don't even know what the smart city pie is...

Realise this is a defence site and this article is, ostensibly, about submarines. But federal support from industry in less wealthy parts of Australia always makes the news and I guarantee this is the first of a thousand articles concerning the funding of this project. So, I'd consider this...

Apologies about bring the ignorant troll on to this thread. He kept flaming off on another thread where his, unmoderatored, comments were totally irrelevant. This would seem, to me, to be a more relevant thread for him to express his xenophobic hate of Australia. These comments are all quotes...

Alot of it is just jealousy from left-wingers. I can't speak for all Australians. But, to me, Abbott seems to keep coming up with plans which either never work out, or are so stupid no one even attempts to make them work. In the last couple of days his plan to log protected rainforest in...

Wasn't questioning your motives. Rather the Guardian's motives for printing that story. Part's of the English left wing like to consider, in my opinion, Australia as an "America-lite" and this story, which was actually written by an Australian, fits very well with the idea that Australia's...

I, basically, agree with the article i.e. Australian should, and can afford to, increase public expenditure in some sectors. But, A) I'm not really sure why your posting stories about Australian domestic politics here and B) The article is from the Guardian. This article is in total...

Your "proof" is not sponsoring free wine? OK... Do Scotland even make wine? From grapes i.e. wine not Buckfast? Anyway, this is pretty irrelevant. Very different situation to a few hundred Australians who are annoyed with their local council. But, good luck with that Scottish referendum of yours

Thought the articles mentioning that the new nation's official language will be either Klingon or Elvish would have been enough of a clue to indicate that the island wont be seceeding. Your sure Scotland wants secession? Some (/a minority of) Scottish politicians (as well as a possible majority...

2011 census reported that a quarter of Australians considered themselves Roman Catholic, while 22% stated they had no religion. While it's, perhaps, useful to describe Australians as having no religion, to foreigners, as it plays (comparitively) little part in our society compared to other parts...

Roman Catholic has been the largest Christian group for ages now, in Australia. Situation is very different in the UK. This was Australian, the channel you watched? And this was an Australian- US military alliance that the majority wasn't in favour of? Australia has had also sorts of...
