To this day, the single biggest attack ever mounted by a foreign power in Australia is the Battle of Darwin, 19 February 1942.
The Japanese sent 242 aircraft in two separate raids to carpet bomb our Port of Darwin into oblivion in a bid to stop the Allies from using it as base during WWII.And you know what wins wars? Logistics. Which is why ports are heavily defended and heavily attacked.
Defence experts have repeatedly begged for the lease to ditched, and just prior to the 2022 election Federal Parliament’s joint intelligence committee released a blistering report calling for the same - hence this review by the Albanese government. “It’s connected very directly with the government of the People’s Republic of China. At the time that happened, we opposed it, I was the Infrastructure Shadow Minister at the time,” he said on another occasion.
The Albanese Government last week announced that it would not be cancelling a 99-year lease of the Port of Darwin to Chinese-owned Landbridge Group despite national security concerns. Picture: Floss AdamsI don’t suppose this is why the federal government’s “findings” regarding the 99-year lease weren’t made known until Friday despite their review wrapping up four months ago.
