Utopia is brilliant Aussie satire. Those Working Dogs production guys are the best of Aussie comedy.

Sadly the CCP and Xi Jinping ain't that funny. They think very very differently to us. The threat is a real one.

But also arbitrary. If you look at the history of the guns at North Head a bunch of them come from the Russian war scare of the 1880s.
Those ships recently were discovered near NZ just before a massive increase in the defense budget. Crickets since! 

Realistically if any great power turns their sights on us only strong international institutions are going to prevent us going down. And that’s a laugh. Or the strategy of playing off everyone. Apparently two of the great powers have their domestic police operating here with a degree of an extraterritorial approach. Our best hope is being low down on the priority list really! 

And all of that has only happened since David Dome became GM. Coincidence?
