The above figures literally tell it all, with the current financial crisis in PNG that has been going on for many years now, and their to date reliance upon Australia, New Zealand and The USA for financing their military, it is obvious that Australia can not rely upon PNG in the event a foreign force were to start an invasion. In fact it could be our weakest spot on the world map, as PNG would make a perfect location for logistics to any force that needs to create a supply line to Australia.
So, that is part of the reason why I presented new Zealand, Japan and The USA prior to presenting PNG.
However, what the above figures do tell us, along with the facts that Australia, New Zealand and The USA are ensuring that PNG stays safe, is that Australia has a reliable and loyal partner in PNG.
I don't believe that we need to say any more about this, except for maybe a look at the geographic location of PNG in reference to what I have stated, here so far.
Again, no need to elaborate.
Once again, when we take all this into consideration there is even more of an argument to back the need for training all qualified persons in Australia in the know how that is needed to ensure that our human right of self defence can be ensured and that we do not fall victim to a "she'll be right" approach to something with this magnitude of importance.
