Welcome to our
article,
Dear readers,
this is my personal diary, about what I see happening in the world these days. Anyhow, this month we have had too many health problems in the
family, so I have started my diary late and what I am writing here is a shorter
version of what I could have written.
So, what we
can say here is that the war in Afghanistan has ended, but there were more
casualties than expected. Today there are still people that are in danger from
the Taliban regime, because they have helped the American and their allies. So, there are reasons to believe that the American withdrawal was not well organized. We can also say
that this war that lasted 20 years has achieve very little, and the only thing
that the entire world can learn from this war is to mind their own business. You
see, most people believe that what we believe in is better than what they believe in,
but that depends on which side you are looking from.
This war has
left many problems, today there are people that need help to move away from
Afghanistan, because they backed up the American coalition, so, the Taliban
regime prosecutes them. From my standing point of view in Australia, it seems
to me that the Australian authorities are taking their time in issuing visas
for these people to come to Australia, when these people need help quickly, but
that is only my point of view. Now let us talk about other things, that are
happening this month.
----------------------------------------
The
pandemic and other things.
In Australia
the corona virus pandemic continues, even if Australia has done well overall,
we have had still 97,550 that tested positive, today we have 21,538 still
active cases, and we have had 1,231 deaths. Today N.S.W. and the state of Victoria
are in lock down, Queensland has had a short lock down, because the premier
Anastacia Palaszczuk with her tough ways has saved Queensland from the worst,
but it is not over yet, because today there are 6 more cases today, so, we
cannot visit nursing homes and hospital. Anyhow, we still need to be
vaccinated, but not everybody is willing to be vaccinated. Anyhow, some other
states are in lock down, so we should not complain.
Anyhow, today
while I am writing this article, Scott Morrison the prime minister of Australia
is in America talking to President Joe Biden about many things including this new
China problem. Just because Australia wants to have some nuclear submarine,
which is not much different from existing submarine, except that they can stay
longer underwater, but China does not like it and is suspicious. This has also
upset the French government, since Australia has cancelled the agreement, that they
had about buying submarines from them.
Anyhow, when
world leader meet, we hope that they come up with good news, or at least talk
about things that affect us all, like the global warming that seems changing
and if we continue in the same direction, we may have real trouble in the
future, but they have not done much, so, we must wait for next time. Now let us
see how this new submarine deal will affect Australia.
-----------------------------
The
submarine deal discussions.
The best way that I know how to show you this new submarine
deal, is to paste what has been reported in the news. So, I quote.
Australia's switch to nuclear-powered submarines is
prompting a government push for the fleet to be built faster, possibly at the
expense of local industry content, to make up for time lost under the
now-scrapped French deal.
The federal government last month dumped its $90 billion contract with France's Naval Group to design and
construct conventionally powered submarines, in favour of a nuclear fleet.
Sources familiar with recent discussions involving
Prime Minister Scott Morrison and senior colleagues claim the government is now
open to relying more heavily on "proven" overseas suppliers to get
the project completed sooner.
"Schedule is what the government is talking
about now, Australian Industry Content (AIC) is not the priority it once
was," one official said, who spoke to the ABC on condition of anonymity.
Another figure claimed recent discussions between
the government and officials in the United States "made it clear that
Australian defence industry was not as high a priority as it previously
was".
Inside government ranks, the region's rapidly
deteriorating strategic environment is cited as the main reason why Australia
is focussed on schedule and may need to have a greater reliance on foreign
defence suppliers, particularly in the early stages.
However local defence companies fear the decision
to use the new AUKUS alliance with the United States and United Kingdom to
acquire nuclear submarines will see significant amounts of work go offshore.
Brent Clark from the Australian Industry and
Defence Network says it's crucial the government commits to keeping as much
work in this country as possible.
"Making sure that the government sticks to its
mantra of creating a sovereign industrial capability in Australia, and not just
export opportunities for UK and US industry".
Under the previous deal, up to 12 Attack-class boats were to be built at Adelaide's Osborne facility, with the French
promising an Australian Industry Content (AIC) of 60 per cent.
(End of quote).
What can I say, there is a lot more to report, but let it be
for another time? Anyhow, whatever politicians do they do not seem to do enough
to satisfy everyone, that is all I can say here.
------------------------------
What else I have noted in September 2021.
The world today relies too much on the internet, but surfing
the internet is a dangerous place, there are many nasty people that use the
internet and other electronic devises to make a quick dollar, they make you
believe that you can download or have this and that for free, then suddenly
they ask you money, or they may ask you many questions, and if you are not
careful, you can give away enough information that they can rob you.
But that is not all, because I have also noted that on
Facebook there are strange things happening. One of my friends on Face book
believes that Facebook is not giving him a fair go. When he writes a post, it
disappears very quickly. I know that sometimes when he writes about politics,
he is outspoken, so, there are people that can be annoyed, at what he is saying.
But the post that I want to talk about here, is a post that talks about his
hometown, and the old town history. So, why vandalize this post, I do not know.
Anyhow, this is what I have noted and remember this month.
So, I have written it in my diary, it is not much but this is all I can say.

See you next month, when I write my diary. Or when I write another chapter of my life story.
