David opines,

Good grief .. the exact same suggestion was made over 80 years ago by our then
Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies and also by General Douglas MacArthur (whom
coined the term Brisbane Line) and becoming a foreign policy strategy. It’s not new.
You are aware David, uncounted millions of people are suffering very badly right now?
Lots of Chinese, especially elderly folk, must live in multi-story apartment buildings with
very little or virtually no water available. And often whatever water there is basically toxic.
David, perhaps second only to Covid, this is now the world’s worst humanitarian problem.
Yet mate, you say that you have some Aussie political and foreign policy problems, present
outdated, mostly irrelevant research.. and then ask if I’m joking regarding a clear Australian
braveheart-humanitarian idea, which was once an officially accepted foreign policy strategy?
Well anyway .. cheers, Dave 😊
