Haven't read all of the audit. However, the stand out appears to me is that the department of Defence couldn't run a project to build an out house. Sooo, nothing new there.
You just have to look at their history in this regard.
Edit: The original production line was built in about two years during the war when there were man power shortages and almost zero local knowledge. The yanks helped out there in a big way. Here we are now, what, 10 years and we can't build a new production line/facility. IMO that's pathetic.
And to add, we tell the whole world we can't do it and where all our defence facilities are.

Good heavens it would be more believable if they said an army of trans people had chained themselves to production lines for 4 years straight.

Problem with that theory is the shortage started long before Ukraine war.

The same country that has been working as a bunch of slaves to ensure they can undercut the western world and kill our industries.
China has been playing a very smart, 40 year game of chess against the West while the West has been playing pocket pinball with its tongue hanging out.

The same effing country that makes copies of Brno rifles - Norinco.
Worse, the same effing country that "made under licence - brewed in China", Corona beer. Remember? That Mexican stuff.
Anything for a buck.
'bout time the world voted with its wallet and stopped buying that sh!t.

FFS they gave the 1936 Olympics to Berlin under Adolf Hitler's Nazi dictatorship................we have learnt ZERO.
It doesn't make a difference of the political party in power, they have all sold out Australia over the decades.

I think you need to read Sun Tzu's The Art of War, they play by their own rules and they've played the West like a violin.
s**t they've even had and probably still have CCP members working within our own government, making decisions and signing documents, those aren't rules we've made for them to play.

Your joking? It was prime time news, they literally loaded a mob of the commy pricks onto a plane and sent them home.
I'll have a search....
OK it was tied up with this
https://www.9news.com.au/national/chine ... 4b98ea8aa1
But unfortunately it looks like everything went hush hush over night.
I can clearly remember it being reported but there's absolutely zilch on the internet.
Next time I look there'll be no evidence on the net about smart Chinese security cameras that were installed in government facilities.

Neither the US (and their puppet states like Australia) nor Chinese regimes are 'good guys' on the global stage but China's authoritarianism uses every option up to and including genocide to enforce it's will on its population.
