Australia’s largest ship, the HMAS Adelaide has arrived in Fiji with specialised personnel, equipment and provisions to assist in the Fijian government TC Yasa rehabilitation efforts in the Northern Division.
The HMAS Adelaide is carrying four MRH-90 helicopters, one MRH-90 helicopter, four landing craft and additional small boats, army engineer and construction teams from the 6th Engineer Support Regiment, a primary health care team and a small boat platoon.
Tomorrow, the personnel on the HMAS Adelaide will commence work alongside the Republic of Fiji Military Forces to establish temporary school facilities on Galoa Island that were heavily damaged during Tropical Cyclone Yasa.
Both the US and Australia have stepped up military cooperation with other countries in the region to counter China
With US-China relations at their lowest point in decades, one of Washington’s closest allies in the Pacific is gearing up for a potential war between the two superpowers. In an interview with Australia’s Seven News, Australian Senator Jim Molan said he expects a conflict to break out soon.
“We are likely in the next three to five years or in the next five to ten years to be involved in a war between China and the United States,” Molan said. The senator made the comments while discussing the budget and capabilities of Australia’s military. “The ADF (Australian Defense Forces) has never been better than it is now,” he said.

The National Disaster Management Office says to allow the Australian Defence Force personnel to safely assist with the TC Yasa support, Fiji has reinforced its COVID-19 border quarantine protocols through carefully-supervised quarantine corridors.
The NDMO says the development of these quarantine corridors has been based on the Ministry of Health’s protocols for maritime quarantine, quarantine for tourism initiatives, and quarantine and training practises for the Fiji Airways Academy.
It says immediately before departure, all embarked forces and crew onboard the HMAS Adelaide tested negative for COVID-19.
LETTER | Western world’s double standard in killings by Australian forces
A
-
LETTER | When it comes to human rights, double standards are not and will never be absent from the Western world’s dictionary.
The Australian government recently released the damning Brereton Report, detailing how its defence forces committed gruesome massacres against 39 Afghan civilians from 2009 to 2013.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison who denied being a deputy sheriff in the US-China tensions has been championing liberal democracy and human rights as universal values, but these do not seem to apply equally to everybody.
No one from the Australian Defence Forces (ADF) or government officials are coming out to bow down and claim responsibility, let alone to face any slightest reprimand if not being sacked or demoted despite the serious allegations.
