Iyo inopatsanura gwara reAWM ingango nyatso kuratidzwa nekudzoka kubasa repamutemo - panguva ino senhengo yeAWM Council - yeaimbova director Brendan Nelson. Chimwe chezvakanyanya kukuvadza zvakaitwa naNelson semutungamiriri kwaive kufuratira kana kunyomba kupikiswa kwakapararira nenyanzvi pakuvandudzwa kwave kuitika. Asi kuwedzera kutuka, Nelson akagadzwa kuKanzuru iye achimiririra kambani, Boeing, iyo inoita purofiti yakawanda kubva muhondo, nekudaro achienderera mberi netsika yaaimboita yekupinza avo vanowana purofiti kubva muhondo mukati mekurangarira kwayo.
Makambani matanhatu makuru ezvombo epasi rose - Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Thales, BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman naRaytheon - vese vanga vaine hukama hwemari neChirangaridzo mumakore achangopfuura.
Lockheed Martin, yazvino inotariswa ye basa remushandirapamwe, inoita zvakawanda mari inobva muhondo nokugadzirira kwadzo kupfuura chero imwe kambani chero kupi zvako - $ 58.2 bhiriyoni muna 2020. Izvi zvinomiririra 89% yezvose zvaro zvekutengesa, zvichiita kuti zvive zvakakosha kuti kambani ione kuti hondo uye kusagadzikana kunoenderera mberi. Zvigadzirwa zvayo zvinosanganisira zvakaipisisa pane zvese zvombo zvekuparadza kukuru, muchimiro chezvombo zvenyukireya izvo zvave kurambidzwa pasi peChibvumirano che2017 pamusoro peKurambidzwa kweNuclear Weapons.
Vatengi vaLockheed Martin vanosanganisira vamwe vanotyora kodzero dzevanhu zvakanyanya pasi rose, vakaita seSaudi Arabia neUAE vane bhomba rinokonzera dambudziko revanhu muYemen. Kambani iyi yakambobatikanawo nekubvunzurudzwa kwemauto, mune zvese zviri zviviri Iraki uye Guantanamo Bay. Yave nyaya ye zvimwe zviitiko zvekusazvibata muUS mumakumi emakore achangopfuura kupfuura chero mumwe mugadziri wezvombo. A US Government Accountability Office report Anotsanangura kudzora kwaLockheed Martin kwechirongwa cheF-35 kwakatadzisa sei kuedza kuderedza mari uye kuwedzera kuzvidavirira.
Chinyorwa chakadaro chesangano chinofanira zvamazvirokwazvo kumutsa mibvunzo pamusoro pemiitiro yokungwarira yakafanira yakaitwa neChirangaridzo mukubvumidza kudyidzana kwemari. Chirangaridzo hachikwanisi kunyatsobatsira pakurangarira nekunzwisisa zvakaitika munguva yehondo yeAustralia apo ichibatsirwa nemari kubva mukuitwa kwehondo pachayo. Masangano eruzhinji kumwewo akatarisana nemhedzisiro yehukama hwemari nemakambani ane bhizinesi guru rinokanganisa chinangwa chesangano. (Ona, semuenzaniso, pano uye pano.)
Mumavhiki apfuura vanopfuura mazana matatu vekuAustralia vakatumira mameseji kuAWM Director neKanzuru kuburikidza ne Dzorerazve Chiyeuchidzo webhusaiti, ichikurudzira kumisa Lockheed Martin nemari yese yekambani yezvombo paChirangaridzo. Vanyori vacho vaisanganisira veterans, vaimbove vashandi veADF, vanyori venhoroondo vanoshandisa chiyeuchidzo, vashandi vehutano vanoona kukuvadza kunotyisa kwehondo, uye vanhuwo zvavo vazhinji vane vadikani vanoyeukwa muImba yeKurangarira - ivo vanhu chaivo vakaunzirwa AWM. Mharidzo dzaive dzakasiyana uye dzepamoyo, uye vazhinji vakaratidza kushatirwa. Aimbove mupurisa weRAAF Reserve akanyora kuti “hunhu hwaLockheed Martin hausi hwangu kana ihwo hwakarwirwa nemaAustralia. Ndokumbira ucheke hukama hwese nekambani. " Mumwe murwi wekuVietnam akanyora kuti, "Ini handina kufa kuti ndangariro dzavo dzisvibiswe nekushamwaridzana nekambani yakadai".
Wezvenhau Douglas Newton akataura nharo yokuti makambani ezvombo anongori vagari venyika vakanaka kwazvo vane zvigadzirwa zvinotidzivirira: “Chinyorwa chemakambani akabatanidzwa mukugadzira zvombo zvoga kweanopfuura zana ramakore chakashata zvikuru. Ivo vakadzokorora vachipinda mukuyedza kuumba maonero, kupesvedzera zvematongerwo enyika, kupinda mukudzivirira uye kune dzimwe nyika masisitimu emitemo uye kupesvedzera vanoita sarudzo. Kubiridzira kwavo kwakashata.”
Mipiro yemari kubva kumakambani ezvombo kuenda kuChirangaridzo inoita chikamu chidiki chebhajeti resangano, uye zvakadaro vakakwana kutenga mabhenefiti akadai sekudoma mazita, kudhindwa kwemakambani, kugoverwa kwekupinda mhemberero huru dzeAWM, uye kubvisirwa mubhadharo wenzvimbo.
Hondo dzeAustralia - sehondo dzenyika dzese - dzinosimudza chokwadi chakawanda chakaoma padivi pehugamba. IAWM haifaniri kunyara kubva kune izvo zvikamu zvenhoroondo yedu zvinomutsa mibvunzo yekutsvaga pamusoro pehondo dzakati kana hondo zvachose, kana kubva kune zvidzidzo zvakawanda zvinofanira kudzidzwa pamusoro pekudzivirira kwehondo. Uye zvakadaro zvinhu izvi zvaizorambwa nemakambani anovimba nehondo kuti awane pundutso.
Mubvunzo uri pachena ndouyu: Nei Chirangaridzo chichiisa pangozi kuzadzisa zvinangwa zvacho nomukurumbira wacho, zvinopesana nezvido zveruzhinji rweAustralia, nokuda kwemari shoma shoma? Ivo chete vanobatsirwa vanoita kunge makambani pachawo, uye vatungamiriri ivavo vari mukusingaperi khaki modhi - vakakwidziridzwa panguva yekuratidzira kwesarudzo - vanotungamira nekutya uye vanoda bhajeti remauto rinoramba richikura.
Zvichakadaro iyo AWM Council inoitawo senhapwa kupfungwa yehondo dzisingaperi, uye isingazive nezve "kusazombofazve" manzwiro eWorld War 1 digger atinokudza paAnzac Day. Nhengo dzekanzuru hadzina kuenzana (vanopfuura hafu yenhengo dzekanzuru) vemazuva ano kana vekare vemauto, kusiyana neruzhinji rwevakafa muhondo yedu nevazukuru vavo vanovarangarira. Bato rinotonga reAWM harimiriri nzanga yeAustralia. Hapasisina munyori wenhoroondo mumwechete paKanzuru. Maitiro echiuto uye kutengeserana anofanira kudzoserwa kumashure, kutanga nekupera kwekutsigirwa kwekambani yezvombo.
Chekupedzisira, Zuva reAnzac harifanirwe kupfuura pasina kudzokorora kufona kuri kuwedzera kweAWM kurangarira hondo chaidzo dzakavambwa rudzi rwedu, Frontier Wars. Varwi veFirst Nations vakafa muzviuru zvavo vachidzivirira nyika yavo pamauto aipinda nechisimba. Mhedzisiro yekubviswa kwavo ichiri kunzwika munzira dzakawanda nhasi. Panyaya dzese dzichataurwa kuAustralia War Memorial, yavo inofanirwa kunge iri pamberi nepakati. Izvo hazvigone kukwidza kuLockheed Martins yenyika ino zvakadaro.
