!["NEVER SHALL AN ENEMY".
"The third thing is that more than 150 years this country has stood. Never shall an enemy set foot upon the soil of this country without having at once arrayed against it the whole of the manhood of this nation with such strength and quality that this nation will remain for ever the home of sons of Britishers who came here in peace in order to establish in the South Seas an outpost of the British race. Our laws have proclaimed the standard of a White Australia [underlined]. We did not intend that to be and it never was an affront to other races. It was devised for economic and sound humane reasons. It was not challenged for 40 years. We intend to keep it, because we know it to be desirable. If we were to depart from it we should do so only as the result of free consent, not because it was sought to be taken from us by armed aggression."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o7g32lxnl4vjj3ai6pelwtto/bafkreigko433fvqfmqai7uokdgy4jutpsmwxw3ldxw5k73aplzalsuvity)
![Conventional countermeasures such as barriers (sandbags) and personnel armor are not effective against thermobaric weapons.[24] A Human Rights Watch report of 1 February 2000[25] quotes a study made by the US Defense Intelligence Agency:
The [blast] kill mechanism against living targets is unique—and unpleasant. ... What kills is the pressure wave, and more importantly, the subsequent rarefaction [vacuum], which ruptures the lungs. ... If the fuel deflagrates but does not detonate, victims will be severely burned and will probably also inhale the burning fuel. Since the most common FAE fuels, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, are highly toxic, undetonated FAE should prove as lethal to personnel caught within the cloud as with most chemical agents.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o7g32lxnl4vjj3ai6pelwtto/bafkreibgcdwtkczquymgqvwmazrppvavu2sqis24vruoipkgs6tilkcuzq)
![According to a US Central Intelligence Agency study,[25]
the effect of an FAE explosion within confined spaces is immense. Those near the ignition point are obliterated. Those at the fringe are likely to suffer many internal, invisible injuries, including burst eardrums and crushed inner ear organs, severe concussions, ruptured lungs and internal organs, and possibly blindness.
Another Defense Intelligence Agency document speculates that, because the "shock and pressure waves cause minimal damage to brain tissue ... it is possible that victims of FAEs are not rendered unconscious by the blast, but instead suffer for several seconds or minutes while they suffocate".[26]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o7g32lxnl4vjj3ai6pelwtto/bafkreigxwavffwuqa23jh322l6mnrjkxmymmcafe3jwv2nzrvjijxpmcom)
