If Australian was attacked today all those Leftists would be suddenly screaming for US assistance.
Why? Because anything more than a large boy scout troop would conquer Australian in a couple of weeks. Australian is under manned, has a poor collection of weapons and equipment, cannot provide air superiority, cannot stop a refugee boat let along any serious craft.
The current plan is for a redeveloped ADF by 2030 according to the perennially in the future plans of PM Rudd. The vast majority of ADF members are Public Servants, i.e. they could not fight their way out of a wet paper bag if they had to. This means that most of the defense spending in not on the military itself but on all those admin staff.
The current range of military leaders are of the same ilk as those who left the prisoners of war back on Ambon after the Japanese had surrendered because the Japanese stationed there told the arriving ships to leave, which they promptly did as advised by the boys back in Canberra.
The current leadership would happily sacrifice undermanned and supplied Australian soldiers, actually they are doing that now with their current standard operating procedures in say Afghanistan.
