The use of a number of scenarios allows predictions to be presented upon which constructive and plausible outcomes can be evaluated. To start this process with meaningful outcomes one must look to the future. What will the “World” look like in 10 - 15 years time. Listed below are a number of assumptions that is believed will occur over this time frame. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Globalisation as we know it today will change. Individual country “tax changes and tariff protection” will cause major trading reviews and capital relocation. The “EU” will change back to a trading block and cease to exist as a political entity. The “Middle East” will continue to be the major international tension area. “Global Warming” will remain a major political issue for the world. “Terrorism” will be an issue of top priority for the world. “Boarder Protection and immigration” will remain at the forefront of political decision making for individual countries. “Oil” prices will remain in the range of US$40 – US$90 a barrel. Individual countries will have to deliver more wealth to the middle class. The USA and Russia will forge closer relationships in the fight against Terrorism and this in turn will ease tensions between Russia and NATO members. 11. The USA, China, Germany, Japan, India, Russia and England will continue to be financial drivers for world growth. The above scenarios and assumptions present a somewhat different world to the one we know today. 10. How will Australia respond… Clearly Australia must strengthen its “existing” defence treaties and “align” itself to more regional players, if only to achieve a memorandum of understanding. Principally this would include China, India, and Indonesia however other regional players must be included in future dialog. Australia will retain its established principles but will have to “make accommodation's” with its regional neighbours. This includes more sensitive dealings with our Muslim neighbours and dealing with individual countries on how they control their internal issues. This in turn should allow dialog to commence on economic, trade and diplomatic relationship improvements. Australia must determine in their new environment how will it position itself economically and financially to take full advantage of these new challenges. 5 Moving forward “Does Australia” 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Invest with partners (countries or companies) in a manufacturing based economy… Position itself to be a major player in technology… Continue to be a supplier of commodities to the world… Upgrade some of its commodities (food and other) to deliver more value added products resulting in higher margins… Make education of both secondary and tertiary a major growth industry… What changes to the tax regime will Australia introduce to drive economic growth… What incentives (apart from tax) will be introduced to maximise the growth of our chosen future business model… How will Australia fund these changes whilst controlling the debt… Defence will continue to be a major factor in Australia's future. This would cover four areas. 1. 2. 3. 4. Defence of our country Terrorism People Smuggling Drug Smuggling The strategy for maximising the success to control the above will obviously rely on capital, technology, people, partnerships with other countries and cooperation with all international agencies. Without detailed knowledge it is an observation that the submarine “tender” decision did not achieve an optimum result… What more could I or others have done…? It’s never to late to constantly strive and change to achieve the best… The success of the overall strategic plan of Australia is imbedded with the defence strategic plan… A key issue for the government will be personnel. People with the appropriate skills that will be necessary at all levels will need to be put in place now to develop strategies and relationships to determine a successful outcome. This is particularly important when developing complex trade, defence and other alliances with individual countries or communities. 6 To summarise the previous two pages it is clear that we must accept and choose the most likely scenarios of what the future world will look like. Australia will have to decide how it wishes to position itself; Politically Economically Structurally Then strategies will need to be developed for successful outcomes with major players and minor players. Australia will have to put in place financial disciplines that will give the greatest opportunity's for success of these strategies whilst controlling debt. A future Australian “White Paper” on foreign Policy cannot be developed optimally by taking its current position and using that as its basic position and then trying to develop new strategies. 7 8 The following report uses a simple framework I have designed around 4 themes, which could be used when drafting white papers for governments. Firstly Malcolm Turnbull and the governments strategic plan for Australia must be defined using a framework and then all subsequent white papers must use the same structure and objectives in order to ensure success of Australia's overall strategic plan. True long term success for Australia will be the result of all white papers being interconnected to the one vision/strategic plan of the government, their advisors and equally as important non advisors (opposition, citizens, independents, agencies, companies & corporations etc)... The current government owes the Australian people long term prosperity and must rally behind Malcolm Turnbull and deliver on their mandate or feel the voters wrath at the next election… I have lost all faith in the Labour party of late, ever since the Rudd, Gillard, Rudd and the Labour Party’s leadership teams fiascos… If the same history repeats itself for the current Coalition government they will suffer the same consequences at the elections… Unite All elected members of the Coalition Define 1. 2. Mandate of Australia’s Strategic Plan Mandate of all departments Strategic Plan, with review of linkages needed by department to ensure success of the overall strategic plan of Australia Engage People, Opposition, Independents, Companies & Corporations, Government and Non Government departments and agencies. Lead Australia to long term wealth, peace and prosperity Whilst all of Australia’s white papers are important and interconnected the Defence and Foreign Affairs White Paper are of the upmost importance. While the following report is heavily focussed on defence and the subsequent growth potential, I would hope you can see linkages to the foreign affairs white paper and others… The rise of the independent parties popularity is a direct result of years of government leadership instability… 9 There is a list, known by I (the ones that think I don’t know should be the shitting their pants…) and unknown by I (they will get the rest that’s my gift to the world) There are a number of scenarios to the outcome of the Australian election in 2019. We will look at the most probable: 1. 2. 3. Coalition government forged by Liberal, National and Independent(s) (Lower House), Senate – no majority – balance of power independents Labour, Green and Independents alliance (Lower house), Senate – no majority - balance of power independents A two to three party Coalition or memorandum of understanding (Lower house), Senate – no majority - balance of power independents Depending on the independent’s platform that obtained that person an electoral victory in the their seat the following should apply. They have no plans to achieve growth in the Australian economy which in turn will eventually mean a funding gap for what they have promised in the likes of health etc... A labour or labour greens coalition will promise everything to independents to obtain power but will rarely live up to these promises. I believe the labour party needs to do some serious soul searching back to the values of the past… Labour at this and the next election, do not deserve, nor have the strategy to hold the office of the Prime Minister and form Government… History has shown that independents who align themselves to a labour led government generally only survive one election... If the independent stood on a platform for stronger defence, boarder control, fiscal management and improved employment for their state they should align themselves with a Liberal National Coalition. World wide voting pacts are changing. Terrorism, boarder control, immigration and economic fiscal management supported by a comprehensive plan for sustained growth which creates wealth for all and employment opportunities is driving voters towards the party that can best deliver on these concerns. WHY? This is the only party that will put defence and boarder control as a short and long term priority in their future plan. Secondly it’s the only party that will behave fiscally responsible in controlling and reducing the countries debt. Thirdly it is the only party that will increase employment opportunities by achieving growth in the economy. Any party or individual who is elected on the mandate on delivering the above who then fails in achieving the above in the eyes of the voters will certainly feel their wrath in the next election. A labour greens coalition will as usual increase spending on social issues, health and education without regard to the countries deficit. The health fund expenditure growth in these areas they will attempt to control the deficit by reducing funding in defence, boarder control and infrastructure. I would bring to your attention under scenario 2 & 3 a Labour led Coalition could alter the current strategic plan and change everything. This could not only put the long term plan at risk but also result in billions of dollars in penalty fees for breaking contracts… These billion dollar fees will actually deliver nothing but attract a hefty price tag… 10 A special thankyou to the vision and staff at The Australian War Memorial in Canberra The 4 Themes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 13 Introduction ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 14 Theme 1 Security of Australia and its Allies -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 15 Theme 2 Education, Industry & Innovation -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 29 Theme 3 Energy, Environment & Resources ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 40 Theme 4 Australia and the Worlds Future Opportunity Boom $ --------------------------------------------------------------> 45 Financing the Strategic Intent -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 49 Appendices -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 50 References --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 57 12 This report has 4 main themes which I believe are all interconnected and must be evaluated mutually inclusive for any government decision. 1. 2. 3. 4. Security of Australia and its Allies Education, Industry & Innovation Energy, Environment & Resources Australia and its Allies Future Growth Opportunities/Boom I would bring to your attention early that when answering or addressing any question, always remember: 1. 2. 3. 4. Culture of people to support strategic plan (now and needed) Technological Resources including Hacking (invented and not) Information sharing with partners (internal and external) Planning, Communication, Execution & Education should include worst case scenario simulation Always remember that all four themes are interconnected and each theme will have a huge baring on the success of the others. If the judgment does not add value to one of the four themes and subsequently the remaining themes, then the idea is not worth pursuing… You need to understand early that the ‘wheel starts to turn on the themes’, which proves everything is interconnected for true success to be achieved. Meaning the strategic plan of each theme must in some way compliment each other. Every super power knows, defence breeds the next level of technological advancements before it’s passed onto industry for use in everyday life. In order to achieve this, you need to have in place world class; 1. 2. 3. 4. Education, Industry and Innovation (theme 2) Availability of quality Energy, Environment and Resources (theme 3) The strategic plan of themes 2 and 3 will be enhanced by the strategic plan of Security of Australia and its Allies (theme 1) through alliances, partnerships, laws and the actual defence strategic plan… Finally once themes 1, 2 & 3 are optimised the strategic plan of what will be Australia’s and the Worlds Future Growth Opportunity Boom (theme 4) will be continually enacted Nothing can truly be achieved optimally, without the individual value chain of all four themes complementing every aspect. I have structured and ordered this report on the 4 themes. To achieve the strategic intent it will be evident that all themes must be working in cohesion. Whilst this report excludes many important topics like health and disease, Themes 1 and 2 would be the starting place, however Theme 3 could identify an area which Australia may have a competitive advantage for certain health products and services… 13 Malcolm Turnbull (Prime Minister), Tony Smith (Speaker), Andrew Hastie (Potential PM - Stage 5 – but for now Minister of Police), Tony Abbott (Deputy PM under Turnbull and Minister for new Coast Guard and umbrellas in this Agency- Intelligence etc) , Peter Costello (Boss Super Fund and potential PM if he wants but believe his new role more powerful), John Faulkner (Leader of the Opposition), Stephen Smith (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) and Bob Hawke (Saviour of the Labour Party and past PM) Nick Xenaphon (Minster of Defence) Has Australia defined its long term strategic intent and planned accordingly for its safety, position and prosperity? Has it also commissioned and evaluated all its white papers correctly to address the challenges of the 21st century and beyond? Has the Australian public been properly engaged to ensure they are aware of all proposed options, especially if the best course of action would mean a massive cultural change in thinking and acting? Given a technological revolution is imperative to success, can a “culture change” enlighten opportunities? The purpose of this document is to propose potential strategies which I believe are the best and right decisions for Australia's future prosperity and safety. I would ask all readers to fully investigate the implications of acting or not acting and report back to all Australians before engaging any formal decisions. This report will identify strategies that require immediate action, while other recommendations will call for engaging of the public in royal commissions. I would also strongly recommend for the Coalition government to engage with the independents in both houses so the strategic plan can be understood by all. This will also assist when public engagement commences at the next election… As part of the strategic intent it’s imperative that over at least 10 + years, should there be a change of government, some acknowledgement and agreement from the opposition needs to be obtained. This will confirm no amendment to the long term plan if the government of the day was to change. No major benefit will be truly experienced before this time period… Obviously there are clauses for variations in the strategic plan. E.g. New technological innovations, but if the plan was correctly drafted all potential deviations are known and defined. Currently there is a major risk as potentially every three years there could be a change of government, amazingly even a shorter time span for a Prime Minister without an election… I would also bring to your attention that the ministry of defence and even the government of the day is not privy to advice from defence to previous governments… So to minimise jeopardising the long term strategic plan the government must properly engage the public through a series of Royal Commissions, which will engage the public and more importantly ‘go on the record’. The findings from these Royal Commissions will form the basis for a referendum and if approved by the public, then all political parties must be held accountable to this strategic plan. Do not leave a referendum to chance, massive engagement of the public will take years and is the only true way to at least try and ensure the right decisions are made… For now here is the strategic intent for theme 1 - Security of Australia and its Allies. 14 15 Moving forward countering terrorism and rogue nations will be Australia's and the United Nations security councils major objective. Physical and/or hacking attacks need to be the number one priority when assessing the risks to Australia and its Allies. I believe there is currently no major cultural changes needed in Australia when communicating this. Other forms of threats which need to be taken into consideration are people smugglers, drug traffickers, sea distress calls, illegal fishing, pollution, natural and man-made environmental disasters. Any other crimes are excluded from this report, even though some recommendations may improve the social, economic and environmental problems in Australia. All the above threats should be assessed in two separate categories 1. 2. I was particularly impressed witnessing defence, ministry and advisors presenting at the Defence Hearing into Additional Estimates on 17 March 2016. While some unneeded and antagonising questions were fielded by a certain senator, all responses were well addressed to what could be disclosed at the time. I was also impressed with the independent senator Nick Xenophon showing the panel respect while trying to drive a growth agenda for the defence industry here in Australia... Make no mistake the current liberal and national coalition have growth as a top priority… The following pages will incorporate a high level defence strategic intent, however I would bring to your attention that significant engagement of the public will be required, as a ‘culture change’ is imperative in Australia before the plan can be executed (planning can commence immediately)… Offshore – Outside Australian Boarders (Defence, ASIS, Foreign Partners , Future and Unknown Agencies etc…) Internal – Inside Australian Boarders (Defence, ASIO, Police, Foreign Partners , Coast Guard, Future and Unknown Agencies etc…) I applaud the recent defence white paper published by the Turnbull government, I believe it’s a strong movement in the right direction. 16 Trailing magnetic runway at present, small hatch for drone to rise take off on hull (small amount of rubber on drone for landing)… In reflection the decision to go with the French bid does potentially pave the way for a serious recommendation in this report . I am referring to the fact that if Australia was to introduce an accelerated Nuclear expansion programme in a few years, the French submarine was initially designed Nuclear, which is a far superior energy means than the diesel electric option currently proposed. I must stress an additional recommendation of bringing the Germans into the project as well, but I will elaborate on this in theme 2. I am of the technical belief however, that all the submitted bids in the competitive evaluation process and their current designs should be seriously debated as to whether they are the best option in the 21st century? The major piece which I believe has been over looked is the innovation in cutting edge sea, air and land drone warfare incorporated into these submarines which will provide; Best in class deadly defences for our troops when deployed overseas Quicker response times to conflict areas, especially to support our troops in planned and unplanned missions Better Intelligence gathering First Attack Options greatly increased Additional defence options for the submarines The innovation of this design type would be relatively simple with the right skills base e.g. the drones would obviously be stored on movable devices within the submarine, once the submarine has surfaced the top hull is able to open. The drones and airstrip would simply rise and take-off… Other major considerations Radar and communication jamming technology Sound and object detection technology This brings me to the question of, how many different classes and sizes of submarines are needed for? Troop Transport (small to medium, manoeuvrable and fast) Special Forces Deployment (small, manoeuvrable and fast) Intelligence gathering (different variations) Land based attacking and defence (large, fast and manoeuvrable) Air based attacking and defence (large, fast and manoeuvrable) Underwater attacking and defending (small, manoeuvrable and fast) While I agree that all submarines would require all of the above, could it not be possible to have some classes which have a greater capacity to service a more specialised function which can operate individually and/or as a group…? 17 I have been doing some research and thought you may find these facts of interest which I obtained from the private records at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. “Advantages of US” 1. 2. The following passages I obtained from WGCDR. S. Jamieson RAAF folder ¹. You could alternate the word British with Australian. “Naval organisation & role in the S.W.P.A – Commander A.S. Storey D.S.C” “Operational organisation of the British and USA Naval forces differ slightly – fleets relatively the same – next level down” “British – squadrons of similar ship classes” “USA – Task Forces of several different classes of ships” “The task force is used to operating as a unit” “The co-ordinated training of the group of ships is likely to be more thorough” When assessing these facts I have come to the conclusion, even though at times Australia has had ‘gaps’ in supporting its own Armadas. I'm still of the opinion that we should move the submarines to a fleet of classes. Some vessels more focussed on specialised tasks i.e. Submarines with many drone launch capabilities which can operate on missions in: Close range to underwater attacking and defending types Long range to land based attacking and defending types “Advantages of British” 1. 2. “Admiral and his staff are likely to have a more detailed knowledge of the performance capabilities of each ship of the squadron than the US admiral with his mixture of various types of ship;” “The individual training of each ship is likely to be more thorough” This will supply a greater range to support a wider amount of goals, objectives, unplanned and unknown activities… 18 The following quote was taken from WGCDR. S. Jamieson RAAF folder ¹ “Extract of Transcript of Talk by Officer of Lord Mountbatten’s Staff, Observer of Landing Operations North Africa, November 1942 “General TRUSCOTT was making his final attack on the Citadel, vicinity of Media Fortress. Radio in to air force” “Can you help?” “RESULT - Within four minutes a patrol of dive bombers (SBD-3’s) came, resulting in the Citadel being taken without casualties.” The following quote was taken from WGCDR. S. Jamieson RAAF folder ¹ “Combined operations III – The Air Aspect of an opposed Landing by Group Captain A.L. Murdoch” “Sea Power has in recent years been modified by air forces to the extent that neither the navy or the armed forces they carry can function without adequate air support.” I would bring to your attention that the above quotes were written in and around World War Two. Please debate the sincerity of spending AU$50 billion without contemplating the alternatives in modern warfare and design. I am specifically talking about my recommendation calling for different classes of submarines, especially around incorporating drone warfare. I also strongly advise to abandon the Diesel – Electric path and pursue Nuclear – Electric, even if this means in secret… While I was researching some off this report the number of times my battery was dying made me think of the following scenarios if our future submarine is diesel electric… 1. 2. Our future submarine needs/has to recharge its batteries but has just been alluded to a potential threat from an enemy, meaning it will be detected once recharging starts… Our troops have just come under surprise attack and need support but our submarine needs/has to refuel diesel at port… The following quotes I have taken from WGCDR S. Jamieson RAAF folder ¹ and are his own words “Experience has shown that the planning of combined operations requires far more detail than for normal operations, and consequently a larger and possibly more specialised staff.” “It is, therefore, essential that the initial organisation of the Planning Staff should be very carefully considered…” “Adequate and experienced staffs provided from the outset. It is false economy to under insure in this direction. To do so will only lead overstrain and bottle necks. Moreover, the staff will be stale during the final and critical stages of their planning”. 19 It’s imperative to note that in any strategic partnership whilst we are ordering everything based on current technology, we need acknowledgment that future developments will be incorporated into these assets and more importantly knowledge transfer back to Australia for construction and eventual combined research and development… Australia like the USA was in the 1940s, has now embarked on an accelerated depreciation programme of it’s major assets. I would bring to your attention this has obsoletely no baring on the cash investment of these assets. Furthermore the quicker timeframe of disposing of these assets will bring the following benefits: The combat weapons systems in the future submarine was agreed to be the most cutting edge technology provided by the USA. This was the first agreed alliance in the future submarine project, with many American experts already based in Australia, I thank them for their service. 1. 2. 3. I have been doing some research into the Australian and American alliance and thought you may find these facts of interest which I obtained at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Private Records PR01018 Anti-submarine officers association² “In 1940 USA gave us 50 old destroyers built between 1917 and 1920 in exchange for certain bases in British colonial territory on a 99 years lease. Boats were valuable but were not all in the best condition and gave us a great deal of trouble.” I believe I need to point out the evolution in the Australian armed forces strategy compared to the above agreement in 1940. Also please remember the opening paragraph of this page. Less operational expenditure to maintain these assets, resulting in cash savings to be used in future investments i.e. Stronger balance sheet and P&L The assets will be sold to our allies, meaning extra cash and safety Easier to ensure all assets have the best and most advanced technological requirements Australia and the USA have in the past and today (which is no secret, excuse the pun), secret bases. The following statement I obtained from a photograph on The Australian War Memorial website³ “Rear Admiral Charles A Lockwood, Jr, USN. Brigadier B E Klein, AIF. Commander Joseph Thew, USN. Lieutenant Colonel J S Young AMF. Landed here on 11 September 1942 to carry out the initial reconnaissance for the planning of the Potshot venture. The Potshot Venture was the joint construction of an advanced submarine refuelling base. An airfield was also constructed and the location later became know as Learmonth.” 20 The following passages I obtained from The Australian War Memorial – WGCDR. S. Jamieson RAAF folder ¹ “Liaison and collaboration between Australia and USA – Group Captain G. Packer” “Formation of S.W.P.A” “Military collaboration between Australia and USA commenced before Pearl Harbour under conditions in which the use of air bases and facilities was of the utmost value to USA.” 1. 2. “The A.B.D.A agreements and preparation to assist U.S. Naval forces” “Growth of US air forces in Australia during the Java campaign” “The agreements were of a somewhat unusual nature and demanded a high degree of goodwill to implement.” “Early difficulties on the air side arose from differences in staff and operational procedures. It was decided to terminate Allied Air Forces (similar for Navy and Land forces) as a unified command and establish separate forces with regional responsibilities.” “Good Australian relations with US services may be a useful factor in easing the difficulties which will certainly arise in post war reconstruction.” The previous quotes I believe ultimately prove the importance Australia and the USA have developed and intertwined in their survival and successes. I also believe Australia is currently in a strong position to influence expansion in collaboration with other potential and current allies... I will now move onto the recommendation of the expansion of the USA’s Northern Australian Base, technology transfer to Australia and eventual combined research and development. This has a direct influence on all 4 themes and I must stress the importance of this action... The USA will fund an expansion of a military base in Northern Australia, which has the capability to perform all Repairs and Maintenance (including arming) of all its military and non military assets. This will be the commencement of knowledge transfer to Australia, particular Nuclear development which I will go into more detail in theme 2. USA will be given a 99 year lease to operate out of this facility with the only clause of contention being, direct first strike capabilities. What I mean by this is, if assets operating out of this facility are to perform a first strike on any target Australia and the USA must both agree. However any USA asset that has performed a first strike not from this facility but requires emergency assistance will be granted entrance. 21 This then leads me onto the Virginia Class submarine, the most deadly piece of arsenal currently in the USA military. I would encourage a rethink here in Australia and the USA as to why the option of Australia acquiring some Virginia Class submarines immediately through the following means is not an option ‘on the table’. This could be phase 1, while the USA base in Northern Australia is under construction. Sending our best engineers to the USA to learn repairs & maintenance and construction of these crafts Australian involvement in the construction phase of the USA’s Northern Australian base, again for skills transfer Lets be honest and upfront this would greatly add to the security of both nations and indeed the world. Let us look at the benefits to the USA first. Strategically it makes the USA a harder target to attack and provides greater defence options: 1. 2. 3. 4. Due to expanded geographic locations of its bases Attacking a base on Australian soil means an attack on Australia, which would mean we would call on our allies for support, I am alluding to China as well as others It will assist President Obama’s strategic review on the USA not being the worlds police but remaining great It will assist President Trump’s defence strategic plan identifying defence construction and the war on ISIS, which will provide jobs and revenue for the United Sates of America. To elaborate on point 2 and Australia calling on its allies for support. I found some really interesting, hand written notes written by Alan W Smith DOB 7.4.22. I obtained this record from the private records of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra - Anti Submarine officers association² “Was part of screen for R.N Detachment, First Post War visit Shanghai” Australia has been closely allied with China for some time and currently enjoys a prosperous trade relationship, which is bringing major benefits to both countries… This partnership should continue to be a top priority for Australia. For Australia benefits of acquiring the Virginia would mean themes 1 and 2 being positively influenced, through geographic location theme 3 is already achieved. While the Virginia class submarine would be the greatest deterrent to any hostile action, Australia has currently exercised another option with the French Shortfin Barracuda Block 1A. Interestingly a major modification to the French version is the removal of nuclear powered to diesel electric… This was a concessions decision by the government, due to the risks of backlash from the Australian public at the next election and potentially providing the opposition an easy election mandate i.e. against nuclear option… The Virginia class submarine could be maintained and serviced offshore if the nuclear option is still seen as a negative by the Australian public… 22 The following are potential options that could be initially discussed with the USA… 14. 15. Initial Questions 1. A finance or operating lease for initial Virginia Class submarine? 2. Skills training engineers, sailors, soldiers and pilots (drones) 3. Construction of R&M and service facilities in remote areas of Northern Australia, which the USA will fund on a 99 year lease with a right of renewal of 99 years if both parties agree. 4. Ships and submarine facilities will be built within massive containment ponds i.e. once ships and/or submarines come into port great walls rise so if a leak during maintenance occurs the waste is contained and not leaked into open ocean etc.… 5. Education and training programmes (massive spend) in USA and Australia 6. Chain of command on Virginia Class Submarines in Australian control - Australia to be in control with USA observers. 7. Inviting Obama and Bush to Australia to handle communication with USA President Trump during planning, construction and early execution 8. Security of technology 9. Future Research & Development with Australian involvement 10. Inclusion of New Zealand as a non nuclear partner with the expansion of ANZUS 11. Other potential future partners 12. Future Australian construction in South Australian owned and operated bases (Centre of Excellences and Defence bases). 13. Nuclear development in Australia 16. 17. 18. Solar, Laser and Wind development in Australia (theme 2 will expand on this. First joint missions of Australian constructed crafts Planting of some sort of meaningful garden/forest at the new facility with naming rights linked back to senior USA and Australian architects (Obama, Bush, Trump, Turnbull etc…) Theme 4 which I will discuss later Divorce Claus (most important part of a serious and honest debate/agreement) The following passage is taken from The Australian War Memorial – WGCDR. S. Jamieson RAAF folder ¹ “The capture of Diego Suarez, Madagascar” “I am of the opinion that when preparing for a combined operation it is practically impossible to disguise the fact, and that the best method of security is to surround the destination and type and date of operation with the maximum amount of conjecture i.e. by spreading false rumours rather than by denying that an operation is to take place.” “The nature of appreciation – Group captain J.R. Fleming” “The importance of arriving at a correct solution of military problems compared with everyday matters should be obvious. On a Commander’s or a Staff decision, great matters may depend.” 23 6 The above photo I obtained from The Hill Talk 5 The above photo I obtained from LinkedIn The following passage is taken from The Australian War Memorial – WGCDR. S. Jamieson RAAF folder ¹ “The capture of Diego Suarez, Madagascar” “Until the Commander and Chief knows for certain that an operation is to be carried out he cannot allow plans of the operation to be divulged generally. But if insufficient time is allowed for officers and men to absorb their detailed instructions, failure are sure to occur.” 24 Specific modifications/development for the future submarines I have identified are Air, Land & Sea Drones (constantly in operation) 1. More drone launch capabilities to provide assistance to troops, first attack options, defence of submarines More guided missile capabilities through soldiers on ground (laser, GPS etc) Radar and communication jamming technology needs to be a priority, like what's in the new USA helicopters but modified to also work under water I will leave the specifics out of this report on other cutting edge defence and attack options, but I must stress the importance of upgrading to Nuclear as being imperative to achieving theme 4 which I will present later… I will now move onto other areas of the defence strategic intent before circling back on the final recommendation. Strategic Plan needs to identify Technology and Hacking Centre Best Practice in Training and Development in Development of Artificial Intelligence Human driven hacking and technology control Attack, Defence and Intelligence technology designed – fit for purpose: a) Reconnaissance – long haul flight time b) Fast response – Air defence to shoot down missiles and aircrafts, air to sea to shoot down ships/submarines and air to land to attack land targets Air to land missiles and vice versa Air to air missiles Air and land to Torpedo missiles Torpedos (from air, land and water) Surveillance cameras (day/night, terrain, heat etc) Microphones Communication interception Fixed Radars and use of satellites Antivirus and Hacking Deploy anti submarine technology like sonar buoys, object detection, and other detection devices Defence mechanics for Air, Land and Sea based crafts like chaffs and flares The number of drones needed in constant operation and in backup, the locations of multiple small airstrips and underground bases across Australia... 25 2. 5. The implications of upgrading the drones energy source to be Nuclear powered (technology invented and not) i.e. Far superior if no refuelling was required The risks when damaged by accident or in conflict (worst case scenario planning) Define who has access to use drones and with what equipment e.g. Defence Force use if Australia is invaded by shooting down enemy aircrafts, ships, submarines, missiles and/or personnel Defence Force first attack options and assisting deployed troops Intelligence community internal and offshore Boarder Protection and other environmental agencies Police and other agencies Satellites Intelligence gathering – Sight and Sound Mission Support Early warning attack system Back up Radars fixed and mobile if Satellites taken out Fitted with attack and defence options Missile Defence Capabilities Across all Australian boarders, a missile defence system developed with USA and Israel to shoot down all enemy aircraft, sea vessels, land vessels, missiles and personnel. Destroyers and other ships Upgrade power source to Nuclear Define the number of ships required vs what ships are for offshore patrolling vs internal patrolling Define which agencies have control of specific ships Joint Strike Fighter Jets and Helicopters Overseas deployment For any aircraft that get through drone and missile defence system Eventual integration with the sphere craft to be presented in theme 4 Capable of shooting down Ballistic Missiles Land to Air Missiles Land to Land Missiles Land to Sea Missiles Land to Sea Torpedos Tech through satellites, radar, sonar, sound and object detection to ensure accuracy Eventually this will incorporate Laser, Solar and Nuclear technology, but I will elaborate more on this in theme 2 Establishment of Coast Guard to split out boarder protection requirements from defence force Coast Guard establishment for Boarder protection their roles to include – people smugglers, drug traffickers, distress calls, illegal fishing, pollution, environmental disasters etc... To be defined with defence, police, environmental protection agencies, intelligence community and government 26 While other defence facilities and support companies will exist in other states and territories in Australia. This report will focus on the Defence Centre of Excellence (South Australia and ACT) Advanced defence construction facilities for the future submarine project (South Australia) which will be further modified after the construction of the expansion of the USA’s Northern Australian base Other defence projects (Australia wide) Joint venture partners. The establishment of the Defence Centre of Excellence will be chartered in trust to create: The ownership, responsibility in being and eventual long term strategic intent of Australia and its Allies… The specifics of the Centre of Excellence and defence facilities will be expanded on through the major ideas of themes 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this report. However for true long term success of the Centre of Excellence, it must be stressed, that members of the board must include the likes of the Prime Minister of Australia Prime Minister of New Zealand Intelligence, Police and Defence Heads Secretary General of the United Nations Presidents/Prime Ministers with permanent membership to the United Nations Security Council One term Independent directors (Prime Minister/ President with non permanent membership to the United Nations Security Council) Theme 4 of this report will expand on the major long term objective for the board of the Centre of Excellence. However you could say that the board is also actually theme 1… While this report will not specifically go into great detail, the mission statement for theme 4 is Creating sustainable prosperity for the universe through the United Nations. This will not be achieved in Australia or anywhere unless themes 1, 2, 3 & 4 identified in this report are actioned perfectly… 27 This report has provided a review for potential future defence strategic and innovation mandates. It has favoured the Virginia class submarine and Nuclear expansion as being the best initial decision for Australia’s defence capability. Further future developments with the USA, Germany and France are considered crucial for future innovations and successes. Other ever continuing risks to the viability and implementation of strategies is a change of government… A formal benchmarking and agreement of strategic mandate by government, opposition and independents through a referendum or formal contract will ensure this risk is mitigated… Themes 2, 3 and 4 of this report will expand on this point identifying additional benefits to the wider economy, with the goal of identifying and potentially unlocking an industrial revolution reality in Australia… However the biggest fundamental risk to the above statement is the political environment and the debate around Nuclear expansion in Australia. Although there would be no expert who could deny the superior operational capabilities of the Virgina Class and Nuclear powered options. The writer does acknowledge that if the debate did not engage the proper groups followed by effective communication failure is a likely outcome for the idea or the government at an election. Other scenarios outside this report (non nuclear and no Virginia Class submarines) have and can been modelled with similar outcomes, however no substantial benchmarking activities have been performed and communicated publically. This writer has currently formed the view point that the alternatives are not the best option for Australia, but encourages formal benchmarking to take place… 28 29 Currently Australia and the world are in the grips of a deep financial depression. Australia at present has largely been shielded from the effects of market corrections and manipulations due to having large amounts of natural resources. These resources have been developed rapidly over the last decade but I will go into more detail on this in theme 3. While the world will require most of these natural resources over the next 100 years, what resources should Australia be more concerned about developing further through education programmes, with the goal of unlocking a new industry and innovation revolution? Is there already a potential ally that Australia should be building a stronger alliance with and who are known for their industrial know how and can do attitude? I obtained the following quote from Wikipedia note 4. “On 29 May 2011, Merkel's government announced that it would close all of its nuclear power plants by 2022 following the Fukushima Nuclear disaster”. Given that Germany no longer wishes to use this technology, I propose for Australia to immediately send our more interested students, scientists and engineers to Germany. The main goal being to As a large amount of the resources construction boom comes to an end and technology replaces many of these traditionally labour intensive roles, Australia must now answer the question: Where will Australia’s future labour growth and prosperity come from and how can we ensure technology is at the forefront of this process? Nuclear The idea in theme 1 which I have been stressing time after time is Nuclear development. Now in theme 2 the importance of obtaining this knowledge and the eventual benefits through innovation in defence and industry. Learn in their universities and Nuclear facilities before and during there closure, then return home with this knowledge and skills… The following passage is taken from The Australian War Memorial – WGCDR. S. Jamieson RAAF folder ¹ “German success is their constant ability to adapt their formations to the particular operation involved, rather than by accepting existing establishments and grafting them on to an organisation. It behoves us equally to keep our formations flexible.” Aligning our shared interests with Germany should be a top priority. 30 The added benefit of partnering with Germany is they have also just invented a new Nuclear power source (theme 2). If this new technology is proven to be a safe and reliable energy source in the future, then Australia has already developed best in class relations with Germany to upgrade down this path… Nuclear energy through Uranium can always be used so there will be nothing lost in gaining this knowledge, which I will expand on in theme 4… Partnering with the USA in Nuclear development has massive benefits which we explored in theme 1. The USA has also developed new technology which allows nuclear waste to be reused again as energy, meaning its technically not waste… 31 Solar Solar is wireless energy however the development of reversing or controlling this process has not been widely accepted and developed in the past… In simple man terms the Sun is the source of power, which has the ability to beam the wireless energy obscenely long distances… Australia and its Allies will develop three apparatus Theme 2 needs to identify how and what sort of a powerful device is needed to effectively control a power source and transfer wireless in control. I am of the belief one day this will be known to the world as Development of world best solar panels for industry and civilian use connected to the grid to ensure no wasted energy. The reality will be wirelessly transferring of nuclear power from a safe remote area to anywhere within the developed range… Laser While the world has been promised the release of this technology in defence and more expansion in industry, this has yet to be released. However I propose a new focus of this technology for defence which needs to be accelerated and incorporates Nuclear and Solar technology… The following like Nuclear development will become a contentious issue but what if an asteroid and/or something else was steaming towards earth? The politicians lies will not protect you. The combination Of Nuclear, Solar and Laser technology will unlock a power never before seen on planet earth… 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. Controlled Nuclear Wireless Energy Nuclear Solar Laser Gun Force fields or Shields Transferring Energy for use in other Energy Sources (TES) Attack or Defence Superiority (ADS) Attack and defence will initially become commonly known as a Nuclear Solar Laser Gun, which will come in many different sizes and power. For example the missile defence system will quickly be replaced with a small device strategically placed to shoot down objects within a predefined range e.g. On the roof of your house but more concentrated on the outskirts of the population but across all areas to ensure vertical atmospheric protection… Satellites are fitted with this device… Force fields and Shields for Object Protection (FFS) Offsetting and pressure in tandem and control or ensuring a controlled higher heat / faster speed 3. 32 Hacking It’s clear that the only way to mitigate hacking is to develop technology yourself any partner who provides tech will 100% know how to hack it, see it and control it… The Super Fund led by Peter Costello in Australia Banking Insurance Superannuation Other Financial Services Unions / Employment Contract Negotiating and General Employment Legal and Non Legal Advice A system must always have aspirations through challenges to succeed… I propose moving Australians and our Allies to Australia on a rotational basis, with incentives in lifestyle and tax. Lifestyle is basically theme 3, Australia’s Environment and theme 2 the hospitality industry. Basically the tax system will be simplified, EVERYONE will pay the same percentage of income tax e.g. 15%. The rotational basis will enhance cultural understandings of differences and build greater friendships… I have only mentioned financial services but this idea will involve all workers not just bankers and holiday makers through controlled visa and exchange programmes... Food, Beverages & Related Industries Through massive investment in the whole food and beverages value chain and related support enterprises Australia will compete with the world for the title of having the best… Let it not just be Sport as the modern human wars, but also non violent activities that bring pleasure and pride… Allies will also be invited to Australia to establish their own presence to compete, I hope the favour is returned… e.g. I have earmarked a region in Australia for the production of what the French call Champagne. The new name of the Australian region will be known later… The French will be given areas of this region to produce and compete and I hope Australians in return will be given patches in the area of Champagne… Let the connoisseurs decide year to year who is greater... The French are named partners in our future submarine project and will continue if a revised programme was negotiated in the future. Some areas will diminish however new domains will replace these. 33 Education All the Industry and Innovation in the world starts first and foremost with education, well best in class education. In order for Australia to be in any sort of position to assist in themes 1, 2 and 4, an educational revolution is needed in Australia. This must start with the school kids first… Basically at the forefront is traditional subjects but more emphasis on Technology or STEM as the current saying goes History and Classics Finance and Business Sport, Fitness and Survival Food and Beverages (Healthy and Sustainable) Outback, Bush, Rivers, Lakes, Sea and Sand Natural and pharmaceutical products I must stress the emphasis that will be placed on creating new technologies to make their own lives easier to live, hence why health and fitness must be a priority… This is one of, if not, the most important ideas… The Turnbulls governments landing pads and educational programmes overseas are also an important step in the right direction once school is over… I would finally point out that through these survival, life and educational skill camps the Prime Ministers Office, Defence, Intelligence and other support groups can identify the skills of the future and appropriately action. I MUST STRESS Our children every year will live in natural conditions learning and creating the above. They will build their own shelter, grow and produce their own food and this includes killing the life they eat… Never take away a persons individual right of choice, no test can or will ever know the future outcomes… Parents and guardians weeks will also be yearly events which is encouraged to be attended by all employers... During School holidays these survival camps will be used by the wider population… 34 You can not have an open boarders policy, as I believe it only creates more of a socio demographic problem in the nation. As brutal as that sounds this is my solution to people who embark on that journey to Australia... Please also remember people smuggling is a thriving business, criminals thrive on this and it makes sense to encourage crime in underdeveloped nations to keep this business profitable. i.e. why people are fleeing in the first place… Any illegal boat must be intercepted for processing and this processing should take years... The processing facilities have to be self sufficient but over-seen/controlled by Australia. This means that all people that arrive are 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Thoroughly vetted (the facilities have proper health, safety etc...) Are all taught English Are all evaluated for suitable job tasks and then trained accordingly Majority of tasks are food and beverage related i.e. farming with eventual production facilities All their food and continued expansion of shelter (if needed) is to be completed by the asylum seekers (obviously once appropriately trained).... The farming will eventually become of a commercial nature with its own brand of food and beverage products. This will also eventually lead to a profitable solution. Anyone is naive to think that an economic answer is not needed... 6. 7. 6. 7. 8. All children are enrolled and attend schooling in these facilities (which will eventually become state of the art). Once the vetting and training is completed to a best practice standard then relocation into Australian communities can commence. With a Job (most likely farming and what they have learned while in these start of the art safe facilities, Home and a new life waiting... Better education of Australian people so they understand and welcome these people into the community without "stigma". Any crime while in detention is grounds for removal back to country of origin (strictly enforced). Once in society the same applies but must go through the courts as these people are Australian Citizens (We have already changed the law where we can strip people of their citizenship). Basically if these people embark on crime a swift solution is needed. If the vetting process has identified people which have been "Ear Marked" then scholarships to schools and/or universities or any further training will be provided. (The profits from the farming will pay for this). I could go on with the fine print but will stop here I think you get the point... 35 Below are a series of companies that have been submitted for government approval during the past decades. I have updated the type of company to align with the Turnbull’s governments innovation agenda. More emphasis needs to be placed on developing these companies. Company 1 (Culture and Capital, Collaboration, Talent & Skills) Nuclear, Solar, Water and Wind technology. Company will cater for defence and civilian projects i.e. Energy for entire population, crafts for civilian and defence, medical use and other known and unknown fields. I must stress how important the process is: Initial partners (before corporations and small businesses) will be federal and state governments of Australia, USA, France, Germany, UK, NZ (non nuclear) and affiliated companies/organisations. E.g. CSIRO, ANSTO, NASA, department of defence (Army, Navy, Air Force etc…) Nuclear (USA, France, Germany and UK) If Government does not want public to know about massive nuclear research then just a Renewable Energy company. However this is not my choice as will slow the growth potential for Australia (i.e. not just leading the world in exporting the resources (Uranium, Iron etc) but also the development potential of this resource... Stronger legislation on governing the accountability of Australian Uranium by Company 1 i.e. 100% of exported Uranium must be returned and placed safely back into storage in Australia with the user paying all these costs. Ultimately this Uranium can and will be reused and sold again with this technology already invented by the USA resulting in higher profits. Theme 1 (Defence and partnerships) Theme 2 (Education and industry) Theme 3 (energy, resource and safe environment in Australia) Theme 4 (to be elaborated later) Virginia Class Submarines with eventual new designs and builds in Australia with USA, France and Germany as stated in Theme 1 Construction of new crafts anticipated commencing in Australia in 5 to 7 years with BAU operations for domestic and international exporting in 10 years’ time. However depending on level of support from Australian government and partners this can be a quicker time line. Education beginning at the start of the next university semester, in USA, France and Germany. With local talent in these locations also transitioning back to Australia to teach and produce on a larger scale here. 36 Solar Legislation changes due to national security (theme 1), making it law that all houses, street poles, buildings etc. have to be fitted with a minimum power output solar panel. This will mitigate the dangers if Australia is attacked, obviously the population having a little power will help keep order. As well as reducing harmful emissions (theme 3). Wireless Energy development Water All houses to be fitted with mini desalinisation devices which can convert roughly 3 litres of salt water to drinkable water per 24hrs and filter fresh water, based solely off solar panels energy. However these devices can filter much more when connected to the normal power grid (first world problem when you have to drink tap water). Identification and implementation of sustainable rivers and lakes water programme… Wind Wind power will be used as a percentage of total national power. Development of wind and sea water (to be developed in conjunction with above water department) energy farms, with a priority for Tasmania in Bass Straight and other areas… Company 2 (Culture and Capital, Collaboration, Talent & Skills) Laser technology developments to be integrated with company 1 once required level of skills have been developed. (Same time line as company 1). Partners Australian Federal and State Governments, USA and Israel. For civilian and defence use. Company 3 (Culture and Capital, Collaboration, Talent & Skills) Wireless and Satellite Technology and eventual integration with company 1. (Same time line as company 1) Company 1A (Culture and Capital, Collaboration, Talent & Skills) Integration of companies 1 to 3, to be disclosed in theme 4 Company 5 (Culture and Capital, Collaboration, Talent & Skills) 100% for development of apps for mobile phones, watches, tablets, laptops, desk top computers and computers not yet invented. Company 6 (Government as an Exemplar, Culture and Capital, Collaboration, Talent & Skills) Funding for Technology safe guards e.g. prevent hacking. 100% Australian with any international partners requiring relocation to Australia, possible integration with NZ given close ties and future linking of markets. Heavy venting required as most important national security issue moving forward. This company is in isolation but can help assist allies if threats detected. 37 Fraud detection of these and other agendas… Divorce Claus establishment and monitoring i.e. when an initiative fails who gets what, particularly important in joint ventures as overtime 99% of these fail. This will bring simplicity for all Australians in understanding and getting advice for their The company’s board will be headed by the leader of the super fund, defence, intelligence, police and other law enforcement agencies…. (The money and the people who protect the nation). Fortunately Peter Costello is already putting legislation in place limiting political contributions, but obviously treasury will move into this company to make sure government are held accountable… The only oversight on this company can be the royal family, who are the final monitoring for the people. Company 7 (Culture and Capital , Government as an Exemplar, Collaboration) Complete review of Government agencies information sharing capabilities and creating a more efficient and effective system. Data Revolution… (Partners Federal and State Government timelines ASAP) Legislation to give workers the right to choose to have all their union, superannuation, banking, insurance etc. activities into one giant company led by Peter Costello. Employment rights and obligations Superannuation contributions, fees and performance Financial services and other Basically the big change will be workers will get all their union fees money back at retirement. The union fees will be invested and profits from these investments will pay for the services the unions (now superannuation fund) provide. This in turn will take pressure off governments when people retire as they will have materially more wealth. This will also stop excessive spending and corruption… There will also be synergies in savings due shared and other services being consolidated e.g. less call centre and accounts receivable and payable staff needed. Only the best staff will be selected for this company who can give the best advice and help to Australians. Also workers can talk amongst themselves simply like What percentage performance did you earn off all contributions excluding fees All fees and services paid will be broken out by line item e.g. insurance, admin etc… However if you want to work for Company 7 as it’s a great honour, all staff/employees, advisers etc. will have their civil liberties abandoned by Company 6 meaning they can be under constant surveillance. 38 The big education on this point will be in the near future, with hacking and other malicious events. Concerning situations where innocent people will be targeted and in some cases held to ransom… Politicians will also come under these disclosure rules, to avoid entrapment in activities like royal commissions. While these hearings are imperative to Australia, in some cases, where proof of wrong doing is trying to be obtained, it could open up potential future blackmail if proof was not obtained but wrong doing had taken place… Information will only be shared publically once passed onto the courts… Company 8 (Culture and Capital, Collaboration, Talent & Skills) Development of value add food and beverages across the entire value chain i.e. land- resources – farming – production to end products for consumers or customers. Company 9 (Government as an Exemplar, Culture and Capital, Collaboration, Talent & Skills) Setting up Survival camps for all school children which are compulsory to attend a certain amount of months every school year. Initially living in tents in the Australian outback, bush, coastal areas, rivers etc… The kids over time will actually build communities, with tents only being used in certain activities once this has been constructed. Main emphasis to teach health, fitness, survival, teamwork, friendship, technology, own food generation and preparation etc… At the end of each year war games with year 12 being the main event, this is to teach the big kids and smart kids to work together. The smart kids will be in charge of building technology like drones to support the big kids (sports players etc) as they complete missions. Goal to teach kids to better develop each year their own inventions/creations/BAU so that in year 12 they are building drones, mini subs, robots etc… which can/is used by humans. Better ability to assess what kids enjoy and are good at… Working with NASA during initial planning stages, establishment, execution and operational phases. Future exchange programmes will also be in the framework... Fortunately NASA are trying to do something similar at present. PM, defence heads, intelligence heads, educational heads and company 6 & 9 to lead this – Timing ASAP Company 10 -15 (Still in design/evaluation phase) 39 40 This report will not examine theme 3 in detail Australia is known as the “lucky country” due to its abundant amount of land, rivers, beaches and natural resources. However there are risks to Australia in Theme 3 namely, fresh water, pollution, sustainability, security and climate change… I am assuming Australia has a competitive advantage in Theme 3. Focus of Theme 3’s competitive advantage should be directed to Themes 1 and 2 to mitigate the risks mentioned above and to understand what strategies should we be focussing on in order to Upgrade from a commodities based economy, to deliver value add products, which will attract higher margins and wealth for Australia… i.e. growth. What clean and economically feasible energy should Australia be developing and implementing. What royalties, jobs and profits are Australians receiving for natural resources being extracted by foreign ownership? What is the return on investment for the foreign investment? What are the differences and who is better off…? Sustainability of Theme 3? Tourism? Health? And many others… If Australia/world wants our Children and Grandchildren to have a clean and safe planet to live in, can renewable energy cater for all Australia’s/world’s energy needs? Unfortunately (and I can’t believe I have to say this) when evaluating this question please remember to answer, what are the economic cost options?… If renewable energy can not carter for all our energy needs, I propose a royal commission to calculate and understand what clean energy (Nuclear and/or new technology etc..) can be used to Top Up the grid for 1. 2. Any renewable energy shortfalls Defence structures as mentioned in theme 1 and 2 Australia should lead the world in carbon pollution reduction measured in total and per capita… While some people debate the merits of global warming and climate change, there is no denying that this would ensure everyone has cleaner breathing air. Thus resulting in improved long term health… 41 Australia currently has roughly 33% of known Uranium reserves yet we blindly disregard the potential of this precious resource in our defence , energy, healthcare and industry potential, due to perceived dangers. Why and is this correct? Previously, currently and indeed future world powers do and will continue/adopt the use(s) of this resource effectively. However I do acknowledge previously and recently some of these groups have poorly managed this process with catastrophic results, so as responsible citizens, Australia must evaluate and answer: Could these disasters have been mitigated if they were better planned, executed and maintained? I believe the best course of action for Australia is to convert to Nuclear, new clean power technology and Renewable Energy sources because it’s currently the safest, cleanest and economically feasible option for the planet and all its inhabitants if planned, executed and maintained correctly. As mentioned in theme 2 nuclear waste can still be used as long term valuable energy with the technology already invented… In Australia we have to take the view point that the current stance of the population is: • A government could possibly lose power if they went to a referendum in an election on Nuclear expansion in Australia without proper engagement and communication. Australia due to fact it has the largest known Uranium deposits has an obligation to lead the world in this debate. WHY? Accountability of Australian Uranium will be paramount in the future and failure of this will be catastrophic for Australia’s reputation. If Australian Uranium is used in any accident or planned event with lose of life and/or environmental damage. I am telling you now one day it will all be extracted… The need for a royal commission into Nuclear expansion in Australia is imperative not just for the environment but all four themes. I have identified the need for a cultural revolution in Australia as being imperative to safely meet security, energy and future growth prosperity of all in our nation through Nuclear development. There needs to be an appreciation for linkages from the white papers of Foreign Policy and Defence to the Turnbull governments innovation programmes and other areas… Australia must road map this process now… 42 My favourite childhood book was “Before there was time”… This is by current standards a very old book… (Supreme Being can turn off the Power Plant - SUN = SON) In English it’s called (Religion the concept we have called) - “Supreme Being within ALL” Expansion of Theme 3 This may be hard to fathom or mistaken to be inconceivable, but life like us and all, is simply trapped energy. The easiest way to explain this would be to liken the Spirit to be trapped energy and our bodies and minds being molecules. Technology itself also has some form of trapped energy within some sort of casing… Could one reason for the climate change debate be simply due to the movement in the planets energy (human and non human species) landscape? As the Sun in its innate beauty, constantly provides solar rays as the device or being: Today all life forms on this planet require the Sun (Power Plant) and the planets survival depends on this. Currently mainly due to human activity particularly in industry, planet Earth has become sick. Over a very short period of time (5000 years) the world has become unbalanced through a concentration of Energy (Human Species) in more central locations particularly on solid land. The ice caps melting and higher recorded temperatures lets assume due to sea life depletion (as sea life is energy and molecules), then solar flares planned for this energy is now being consumed by other energy namely water. Could this not be a defence mechanism for the planet when things do not go to plan… A scientific way of explaining this, solar flares are being absorbed in the planet by all. Becoming unbalanced could firstly be explained by understanding was it actually planned to have a certain amount of trapped energy, spread evenly within planet earths atmosphere… A disturbing link has emerged between the extinction of non human species and the birth of humans. Is the reduction in energy within these non human species simply being transferred into humans? An example could be a massive reduction of sea life energy particularly in areas with greater amounts of commercial fishing, pollution and/or longer periods of developed human activity. I am referring to the Northern waters or top of the planet as we like to show on maps. (when looking at a map or globe especially from Space, is the North really the top i.e. what goes up must come down, if there's gravity?)… The Sun is actually providing life for other energy sources… Could the supreme being to save time (which is now) returning to correct mankind's destruction of the planet, simply be giving us all a chance of redemption through intelligence or trial and error of intelligence, which we call supply and demand or the great John Nash’s theory of equilibrium… An ecosystem will thrive once it finds balance (equilibrium)… The reduction in the earths atmosphere through harmful emissions from the likes of fossil fuels is also another theory for climate change. There is no doubt it affects air quality and safety for breathing… These resources when extracted are also forms of trapped energy, which sees their physical casing disintegrated in production and energy released into the atmosphere… Could this be another defence mechanism for the planet to teach us sustainability… i.e. Ozone layer depletion as the planets energy 43 consumption becomes unbalanced and/or overused… “Little Brothers decision or known as Alf” Expansion of Theme 3 It’s this writers hope, that Australia makes claim to Antarctica and the wider areas around, for protection of non human energy to benefit mankind. This will ensure adequate protection and provides the United Nations with a reliable partner if agreement can not be reached on this issue… There needs to be an establishment of a wider marine reserve area, with humans only there for research and safe tourism. Australia and its Allies through the United Nations will all have access to this vastly different landscape and beauty, but security can not be compromised by Veto… Let the United Nations serve nature in a small sustainable necessary way for the survival of all… The USA, France, Germany and NZ will be the most important partner for Australia. The construction of the future submarine project which will eventually monitor and protect all human and non human sea creatures. This project will provide the only deterrent to any threat to the expanded marine reserve known as Antarctica… Which will become increasing important in future years to ensure survival of all species and replenishments of food reserves for humans. South America and South Africa need to be invited and tasked with patrol responsibilities thus in turn also receiving a seat at the table… Australia should then consider a change of flag, to a white one (maybe Australian Green and Gold surrounding White…) to symbolism the importance of the ice. But this needs to be linked back to raising the white flag for humanity, the planet and all its inhabitants. Imagine the travesty if one day someone asks “what does the white colour in Australia's flag represent?” i.e. Antarctica ice has completely melted… Soon it will be too hard to change the populations thinking once commercial fishing starts in this area and with invention of new crafts... Russia, Europe, China and North America need to focus on protecting the Artic and wider areas in an accelerated program due to prolonged human activity. Other strategically located marine reserves need to be mapped out around the planet as well as land reserves. One day we will leave this planet for new worlds, it’s this writers hope that planet Earth and Theme 3 is still alive and functioning on these days and days to follow. The true fact which the Supreme Being hopes we will learn ourselves We must ALL on these days leave together… My final comment “Be brave, be warned, for this is not the START nor the END but for NOW…” 44 45 While an effective strategy for themes 1, 2 and 3 will have many different outcomes for Theme 4 like Artificial Intelligence in Robots to safe new food security… This report will focus on only one major outcome… The following hypothesis is for thought provoking only and is not intended to form part of a current strategic plan. That’s why they call it Space… An endless amount of unknown opportunities… Or as the USA just communicated out of Australia, limitless opportunities… Can Australia be future leaders in space exploration by engaging other world powers and enlightening them to all work together before we leave this planet? Ultimately wont everyone have failed if we individually leave and reach new worlds? As would the result not crumble into what we have now. i.e. You will lose power to a new power through horrific atrocities. What I mean by this is eventually an order will be sent from Earth which once received will be challenged and eventual conflict… By this time a special present could be sent back to Earth BANG BANG BYE BYE planet and all its inhabitants. I do not need to examine countless acts in our history where this has and is happening now… The Sphere craft design was born out of the idea of achieving travel at the speed of light or as time evolves beat the light (light speed) altogether… The second concept was of time, energy and ensuring a craft could serve ‘multi purposes’ with eventual scenarios, which like the explorers of the past, simply unknown… The initial design thought in a non gravitational environment, was to build a craft with a hollow centre (sphere shaped) and propose with the right levels of artificial force, create a shield and deflection device, to protect the craft. I wont bore you with the details, but the deflection part of the device when travelling in a straight line was aimed at ensuring objects went through the hollow part of the device with no contact made to the ship. Where it gets a little more complicated was the non gravitational space device which works in tandem and opposite to the deflection device and would encase the outside of the ship, creating what people today would call a force filed or shield… In simple man terms force being greater than pace or just a little hotter… The amount of time that has been spent on designing sufficient energy sources for this craft can be quite complicated to say. The idea of no petrol stations for lets say travel of at least 10 generations and beyond, circles us back to theme 2. The sphere craft currently in its estimation could be powered for lets say a longer time frame than 10 generations and beyond. The obvious power source is Nuclear and Solar technology… Hence why theme 1, 2, 3 and now 4 are all hinged on nuclear development in Australia with new variations in nuclear power also mentioned. 46 I’m seriously smart actually scares me well subconscious me (twin brother) Expanding on an earlier point When looking at a map or globe especially from Space, is the North really the top i.e. what goes up must come down, if there's gravity… What way is up in Space? The sphere craft is actually a cylinder shape with the sphere being the hole in the centre of the craft In non gravitational environments the aircraft travels as a cylinder only with sphere exposed (cover not over front of craft)… Lets say in Space, if you were travelling in a straight line how far could you go? The answer has to be endless, as what would stop you from going further, nothing? You could get Lost in Space, like we do in the bush and go in circles, but there is no END. If there is no END, how can there be a START? Rises to cover front of craft for use in atmospheric entrance and gravitational environments including underwater… A final thought before expanding or beating circles in space, is time. Is everything really happening NOW? TIME (Start) + SPACE (End) = NOW… START (Time) + END (Space) = NOW… Multiple main blades pop, can either open into traditional aircraft wings, or multiple rotor blades like a helicopter. Project Prometheus was a NASA programme on a nuclear space engine which this writer believes was a very smart project… I would strongly recommend the United Nations establish their Space programme headquarters in the Centre of Excellence in Australia. Obviously activities in other parts of the world will continue… Please excuse the simplicity of the diagram and definitions, I only had Paint and PowerPoint available at the time of writing this report… Offsetting pressure in tandem and redirecting forms a force field around the sphere craft. The Sphere Craft’s main energy sources are Nuclear and Solar Tail wings pops can open as either helicopter blade, tail wing of aircraft, or act as a rudder for under water… 47 Nuclear development whether traditionally with Uranium or with new technologies will be essential as an energy, attack and defence source long into the foreseeable and beyond future… To SUM it all up Australia’s and the worlds long term future growth opportunity boom will come from mining other planets, asteroids and Colinising other planets sustainably and safely… The integrity pickle will be mining on new planets and disturbing its energy and environment, clear guidelines need to be established NOW… The profits from these ventures will eventually become the funding requirements of the united nations development and aid programme… The following passage is taken from The Australian War Memorial – WGCDR. S. Jamieson RAAF folder ¹ “The nature of appreciation – Group captain J.R. Fleming” “If a paper or appreciation is to convince someone else, it must carry the conviction of the writer.” It must be stressed again that Australia currently has 33% of known Uranium reserves This resource will power many and varied devices in the future not just what was mentioned in theme 4 Will Australia continue to only sell the uranium and forgo additional high profits and job creation? The debate must include benchmarking of both Nuclear and Non nuclear options to truly and honestly understand and answer what is the best option for Australia... There will be many varied scenarios and outcomes for Theme 4 which will all be the direct result of the successes and failures of strategies of Theme 1, 2 and 3… The following passage is taken from The Australian War Memorial – WGCDR. S. Jamieson RAAF folder ¹ “The nature of appreciation – Group captain J.R. Fleming” “In very simple problems, the subconscious mind will automatically go through the process efficiently without omitting anything of importance. In complicated problems, the human brain, lacking perfection, fails to cover all the ground involved. The greatest weakness is impatience and a tendency to jump to conclusions without sufficient thought. A written appreciation helps us to correlate all factors and implications, thus avoiding to a degree this tendency.” While this report has proposed many and varied ideas, variations are welcomed in the debate and ultimately benchmarking. This will ensure the true overall long-term benefits are defined, known and communicated… Our best course, therefore is to start the debate as a nation, what is Australia's long term strategic plan…. The conclusion of this report is up to YOU the reader… 48 The below is outlined ‘best practice’ for companies. This ‘best practice’ can be adapted by governments for their own country’s specific strategic plan. The people should not accept debt as a option, without solid proof of how it will be repaid, the benefits to the economy and safety of all. Define the Strategic Plan and intent of the company – what could happen today but might not, e.g. new tech, new acquisitions, new products etc.) Balance Sheet and cash flow position Debt to equity ratio 40 to 45%, which can change due to acquisitions, disposals, capital expenditure What is the competitive advantage (true competitive advantage not perceived) Positive cash flow over strategic time period. First 2 years is your monthly annual budget for year one and annual budget for year two 2 to 5 years strategic plan should encompass known or expected shifts in economic, technological, political and other changes that could affect Australia. A number of scenarios would be used to cover the above. 5 to 10 years is commonly known as white Space, this plan should allow for all contingencies that could occur which may affect world demographics, climate changes, political changes, financial and technological changes etc. What affect would these changes in the world cause to Australia's future? The 5 to 10 year plan is generally completed by a completely independent group that is not associated with the first 5 years of strategic planning. Education, Industry and Innovation Energy, Environment and Resources Core competencies and weaknesses However before an appreciation of the situation and development of a plan, Australia must first define how will it fund these projects? 49 50 “Be Brave, be Warned, for this is not the START nor the END but for NOW…” A likely scenario or one that could be plausible is for Australia to be attacked and/or invaded. This could be by traditional means of sea, air, eventual land forces and with more modern techniques like hacking. Another more severe possibility is full scale nuclear war… First targets will be (remembering that the majority of the population dwells on coastal areas in Australia): Defence assets Power generation and distribution structures Desalinisation plants Food generation and supply structures Major infrastructure assets Fresh water Australia could be the number one target for an attack like this in the future and likely reasons to attack could be 1. 2. To obtain Australia’s abundant amounts of Natural Resources Population growth and move population due to large amounts of available and underdeveloped land Following the first strike; the eventual landing of troops and engineers, I would suspect the focus would be primarily on securing our rich natural resources followed by exponential population growth due to our massive amounts of land. The landing force will be tasked with neutralising any remaining defences, while the engineers establish defence structures and with relative ease, hack and repair (if needed) the infrastructure and other assets. Then production and distribution of these resources can be re-established back to their own home and/or strategic factories/bases. Smarter enemies could be waiting for larger conflicts to erupt before attacking… The only major difference today compared to the past is technological advancement and that weapons are far more sophisticated and devastating… Australia should be very concerned about the lack of insight, long term planning and by the snails pace of developing best in class world strategic alliances, which will bring benefits to all our Allies. Before you dismiss this troubling idea, I would ask you to take a moment and think: What you or the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans would say if you told them during their time, that they would not exist in the foreseeable future, say up to 100 years? The purpose of this report is to provide leadership on an idea for Australia’s long term strategic intent and to accelerate the debate in Australia around how it will actually achieve safety and prosperity for generations to come… 51 Could World War III be started by an unknown source but made to look like another party? Or are we all Stupid enough ourselves? I have called this so called war, The Fools War… World War I – The Great War I III World War III – The Fools War Unknown to you could be the silent Energy, waiting fools 8 Source: World War I had one major line of conflict, from Europe down through the Middle East and Africa… World War II had two major lines of conflict, the same first line as World War I and a new line emerged from Asia down to Australia… World War III will have three major lines of conflict, the same first line as World War I which has already begun… The same line as World War II which will commence in the South China Sea and a third line from North America down as a consequence of the second line… The Fools War… The End of Most of All? World War IV if anything survives World War III… Will be known as the start of the resources wars. A direct result of unsustainable industry as a desperation never before seen by mankind grips the planet… Line one remains but lines two & three bend… World War II – The Great War… II World War IV – The Resources War IV I have excluded from Wars IV, V & VI technology and intelligent energy we have kept hidden and/or don’t know about yet … 52 Did Elizabeth have an illegitimate child as well, time will tell… It’s imperative, maybe not to understand, but I need to acknowledge the importance of history and how views can change overtime on the exact same events… For example a good place to start is England in the early 1600’s... Queen Elizabeth I was on her death bed and uttered the words James will succeed me. James VI of Scotland became James I of England. Historians traditionally favoured the reign of Elizabeth, but in more recent times have changed their minds and James is considered the better leader… In hindsight eventually will they say “Actually Elizabeth in her rein chose James”… A potential modern example could be George Bush Jr and the invasion of Iraq. While at present many countries including ones that participated in the invasion have delivered damming verdicts based on information that is known today… What if in future years after declassification it was revealed that a clandestine operation uncovered and destroyed a WOMD facility (chemical facility) in a country outside Iraq with its funding traced back to illegal oil sales from Iraq and drugs linked to another country, with evidence of another location identified in this destroyed facility… The following quote I obtained from Facebook and was posted by Hilary Clinton, who this writer endorsed over a year ago to be the next President of the United States. Interestingly in that conversation the other person backed Donald Trump how right we both were at one point. Equally in the end we proved our ideas are shared with the American people... The quote with some brilliant advice is taken from a letter that George Bush Sr left in the Oval Office for Bill Clinton, back in January 20 of 1993. “There will be some very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair. I’m not a very good one to give advice; but just don’t let critics discourage you or push you off course.” “You will be our President when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well.” “Your success now is our country’s success. I am rooting hard for you. Good Luck – George”… 53 I applaud the Royal Commission currently being undertaken in South Australia on Nuclear development in Australia, however I believe it needs to be expanded and accelerated to include the whole nation and answer the following questions objectively: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Legislation to make construction and upgrades of all houses, buildings, roads, poles, signs etc to be fitted safely with solar panels covering maximum amount of area possible. Research into Solar Wireless technology – link back to Dr Lisa and her goal of construction on moon. - Need to understand her research a bit better to propose merger of ideas. Wind Farm expansion to remote areas obviously with high winds e.g. Tasmania Can renewable energy cater for all our energy needs? If not how much nuclear energy would be required to top up? Use of Nuclear Top Up Energy for strategically located Defence systems (Nuclear Solar Laser Gun)… Education requirements to be world leaders in Nuclear development Location of Nuclear Power Plants so no threat to any life forms or environment (populated or potential for population) if a disaster (planned or unplanned) struck at the site. Antarctica Marine Reserve Project Prometheus and NASA 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Using Solar Power to move Nuclear Energy from plant, to grid, to consumer, as addressing Nuclear Power Plant Location would mean a large distance would be required to move Nuclear energy. Economic and Energy Cost advantages of adopting Nuclear Energy What would be the reduction in harmful emissions if we only have Renewable and Nuclear Power. Nuclear waste dump in WA, SA or NT built over large rock formations for added safety if man made buildings fail. Make all users of our uranium internal and external pay to safely transport all waste to store and in future sell and use ourselves as energy again. Is Nuclear Propulsion Submarines a far superior type of submarine compared to diesel electric Expansion of defence and security of Australia to nuclear Space and the Centre of Excellence Construction and Establishment of Schools Training and Development Camps. Emphasis on fitness, outdoors, innovation and inclusion. The Big and Smart kids working together to be healthy smart and strong. So many months per year every school year go into camps with year ending with games and exams, obviously year 12 games main event. Obviously this is a report in itself… Link into NASA schools programme and others programmes to really drive children to achieve limitless opportunities. Potential for international exchanges etc… Use this to identify what future paths kids are recommended but ALWAYS remember to give people their own choice as no test can truly answer what the future holds. 54 Once engagement of experts and the public commences a full list of ideas can be debated. Some will be introduced with relative ease while others will require a royal commission and finally even a referendum. Below is the first idea I have obtained through discussions on Nuclear Energy development… Public feedback royal commission Questions 1. That a tree be planted at every Australians grave sight at their funeral I added it’s their choice of tree but if none nominated defaults to the Trust’s Choice. 55 Culture Communication Now Life, Laws, Taxes & Wealth Execution All Technology He knows Evolution Planning Alf’s Universal Map copyright 2017 Sustainability 56 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
