Finally,

I sent this to one of our Australian members for parliament last year in march.

"Good afternoon Mr Gosling,

I am writing to you regarding our on going support to Ukraine.

So far the Australian government and people have provided a lot of support to Ukraine as you very well know, however it would be great if we could do more.

I have spoken to many people across Australia as I work in an industry that lets me travel or great country. Across all my interactions whenever the support of Ukraine comes up in conversation everyone is on board with providing more then we currently do.

It would be great if we could send some of our tanks to Ukraine. Obviously these will not make it in time for the current counter-offensive however many losses are anticipated so if we sent more now it would arrive to bolster their efforts in retaking their homeland.

I feel Ukraine isn't just fighting for their own sovereignty but ours and the rest of the worlds. Our sacrifices today will compound providing us with a more stable future.

Lets be honest too, our Abrahams are never being deployed overseas unless something drastic and catastrophic to our own sovereignty happens. Even if we sent 10 bringing down our operating capacity to the 40s these will still be a force multiplier for our troops in the defence of our own home. Hopefully it never comes to that and we can continue to live our peaceful lives. Currently we live our peaceful lives through the great sacrifice of Ukraine and our own people who have lost their lives in Ukraine.

These men went to defend a country so far away from our own, giving their lives and making the greatest sacrifice.

Please don't let their sacrifice be in vain.

Best regards"
