Is Australia going to fuel the repressions?

The Canberra government has announced to sell military hardware at much higher level than before.

 

Australia is willing to get into the list of top ten arm exporters

The Government is preparing to export more and more weapons that the ambition is to put the state into the list of top ten global arms selling countries. The officials yesterday have stated that they want to lift up the ratio of sale. Meanwhile, experts on specific operations have warned the government that it will only provide the sustainability to repressive rulings in different parts of globe such as in Asia and Middle East.

At the moment, Australia is the 20^th biggest nation in the field of arms exporting in the world. The Government yesterday has released the report saying that it will fund $3.8 Billion this year in such area. Accordingly, this will put the country into the list of top ten arms selling countries. However, the step is taken to ensure the incentives helping many multinational setups that were in jeopardy. For instance, organizations like Thales will account for increase in exporting munitions, combat vehicles, command and control centers and mostly optronics, Ratheon in ship combat systems and BAE systems will go for more exports in variety of more guided and automatic weaponry systems.

Al though, the government is looking to meet the official buyers in UK, USA, Canada and China yet the country is willing to seal the relations with these countries in volatile regions. In other words, Australia is providing the arsenal to these friends in Middle Eastern or Asian territories. Surprisingly, the government has not uncovered the facts regarding the selling arsenal yet.

To demonstrate the ambitions, there are some accusations regarding the selling to different countries. Allegedly, it was reported that number of agreement were made with Saudi Arabia in couple last months. On the other hand, it was quite clear that the Saudi regime was dealing with Houthi rioters in Yemen and there is a high possibility of these exported weapons to be used in that insurgency. Consequently, this will fuel up the strife.

UAE was another buyer of Australian arsenal. Since, 2015 UAE has got the weapons and allegedly used these in Libya and Yemen which accused the country as a bomber on human rights over there. Meanwhile, Australia has already impacted over the Arab blows by providing huge armaments.

In Asian parts, Philippine government got assisted by Australian shipments of military hardware. On the other hand, the Philippine government is accused as the executor of human rights and trafficking.

In any event, the race of weapons is growing day by day and there is no sight that can give us the exact time frame of where this race is going to end. As we are witnessing the new proxies and terrains in Asia and Middle East being opened, the Australian ambition would fuel up the things, making these combats more complex.
