News24 host James Macpherson launches a blistering attack on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s defence record as drone incursions around Australian military bases soar from 21 to an astonishing 147 in two years. “Want to know how pathetically weak our defence force has become under the Albanese government?” Mr Macpherson said. “Our soldiers have been told that when swarms of unidentified drones invade airspace around our military bases, they should ensure window blinds are closed. “There were 21 incursions in the 2022/23 financial year. That grew to 60 incursions in 2023/24. And there were an astonishing 147 incursions last financial year. “Flying drones over restricted airspace that is defended by nothing more than Venetian blinds and Pat Conroy's verbal diarrhoea makes perfect sense if you're China or Iran.”
