Just what on earth Australia, read the room, read the whole planet.
Laura Tingle gets it.
“As Donald Trump has led his country away from its alliances and into a war which has made the majority of its allies in the Middle East vulnerable Iranian targets, countries around the world have been left scurrying to re-evaluate their needs and their friendships.
Except Australia.
No one inside federal politics seems particularly interested in discussing the large orange elephant in the room”
@kate they seem incapable of assessing anything rationally. We now have an increasing number of US military bases in Australia, while the rest of the world reconsiders their place in it.
Labor is so attached to the status quo that they are willing to lock this country into decades of folly.
They will assess that "no it is the children who are wrong" from the Secret Harbour bi-election. Carry on, double down, etc.
What even is Labor?

@kate
Not to mention Marles. This person is deputy PM. What qualifies him for that exactly. Deeply underwhelming & underhanded. 😾
@kate There's no appeasing him. Please take a lesson from what we've been learning in Canada. Every concession leads to more outrageous demands.
@KenJeffery It’s honestly hard to see why we’re going down the appeasement road when Canada’s model is so encouraging.
@kate On a lighter note, wanna buy some hockey sticks? :)
