Any coincidence that Hancock (Rinehart) and defence are increasing investment in Lockheed Martin?

Our wonderful political duopoly have made the Australian people targets for a nuclear attack. Not just Pine Gap but Perth, Adelaide, probably Wollongong and Newcastle and maybe others.

Sorry Paul, but those chips in our massive data centres have to come from somewhere. Oh yeah, we are already trading partners with China.
