Happy flower ADF

Nice little alternate world to live in if one only wants the ADF to hand out toilet paper, aid packages, tents, water bottles and provide stoop labor and minor security.

I suspect though that if that is all we wanted the ADF for we could get those services done for a lot less than $27B per year. Could even change the ADF logo to a white flag.

The author also ignores Defence failings.

When we get some competent well educated journalists?
Someone able to actually analyse the facts and figures

But hey it all sounds so good! I love the part about the "cooperation" and live fire exercise with China.

Meanwhile this is whats going on in the Philippines not so far away.
