Labor clueless on foreign affairs

And now Albanese is running this election campaign on the basis that you can’t vote for Peter Dutton because he is a bunyip Donald Trump.

That might benefit Dutton, should he win the election and have to negotiate with Trump, but it is not likely to help Albo, or Australia, if Albo wins.

It’s been said that Australia is in a worse defence position than it was in 1939. That’s not true. The leader of the government in 1939 was Robert Menzies, and of the opposition, John Curtin.

There’s no way Albo would have been Labor leader, or even in the cabinet in that period. And he’s the best the government has got.

It is not a uniquely dangerous world, we’ve just come out of a period of unique peace and tranquility, but Australia is uniquely ill-placed to deal with the challenges a normal world poses because we have voted children into positions of power.
