I am getting weak vibes from Anthony Albanese.

It is almost as if his entire approach to being Prime Minister is to be like the Sydney University Student Union president. Policies that make no sense (renewables only, unlimited immigration, taxing unrealised capital gains etc) and the fact he seems scared of organising a meeting with the leader of our most important ally, the United States.

It is almost like he is worried what Donald Trump and JD Vance will do to him during the public part of the meeting, which used to be an opportunity for small talk so the cameras can get their shots.

Will Donald Trump make clear how low our defence spending is? Will he bring up the deleted tweets of both Albanese and Kevin Rudd?

Underestimating Albo gave us 94 seats  :)

Albo again cuts short Media questions and bolts without a thankyou or have a nice day.

Albanese and the Labor Party as a whole are a joke when it comes to the ADF. At this point, we'd struggle to defend the Top End against the Indonesians, to say nothing of China. We used to have two aircraft carrier strike groups. Now we have a floating helicopter pad that could have and should have been upgraded to take the F-35B. Kevin Rudd was PM then and his government oversaw this decision. What they should've done instead was go to the Americans for an America-class amphibious assault ship, as they can do everything our LHD's can do, plus embark a squadron of fighter jets. They also have an impressive array of self-defence weapons, something our LHD's lack entirely.

It was a colossal mistake for our Defence Minister to rule out raising our defence spending to anywhere near what the Americans were asking for, but I think I know why they have made that decision - at least in part. Albo wants to kill the AUKUS deal. Why? Because he hates anything with nuclear in it, even if it's solely for power generation, not nuclear weapons. It's not based on science or anything like this. It's a purely ideological opposition to anything nuclear, not fact-based. He is privately hoping that Trump will say, "Well if you won't increase your defence spending, I am going to kill the AUKUS deal". This is what Albo and Marles are no doubt hoping will happen because it gives them a way out of the deal and they can say, "Don't blame us - we didn't kill the deal!". The truth is, if this does happen, they DID kill the deal.

Australia needs nuclear powered submarines because conventional diesel-electric submarines simply do not have the range, endurance, speed or depth capabilities that our navy requires in order to not only protect our coastline, but also our sea lanes and conduct intelligence operations far from our shores. A nuclear submarine could leave port and head to the South China Sea and not come to the surface until it returned to port, whereas a diesel-electric would need to at least come to periscope depth a number of times to recharge the batteries with diesel generators, increasing the risk of detection each time. It's a no-brainer for an island country like ours that we need nuclear-powered submarines.

Ohh Blow it out your arse. You've had 3 liberal prime minsters since then, over a 9 year period. Why didn't they buy the American assault ship? They clearly have no problem reneging on deals made by previous PM's.

I view Albo as weak.

I’m not embarrassed by him. In all reality Australia is so unimportant to the rest of the world nobody actually knows who he is so nothing to be embarrassed about.

On the positive side he has brought a government that so far is free of corruption and the normal politician rorts. That we know of. With his secret national corruption scheme we don’t know who is under investigation or for what. Not very transparent is it?

Unlike the lnp who has just elected a leader who is tainted by her corruption and rorts.

I’ll give old  Albo a five out of ten.

The America class LHDs cost:
    US$10.094 billion – initial program cost for 3 ships ($3.4B/unit[1] FY15)
    65 officers, 994 enlisted
    1,687 Marines

The Canberra Class LHDs cost:
    A$3.1 billion (2007) for two units
    A$1.55 billion (2007) per unit
    358 personnel; 293 RAN, 62 Australian Army, 3 RAAF
    Troops 1,046 standard/1,600 overload

So, are you prepared to pay three times as much for an America class?  Of course I'm not costing in the massive cost of it's airwing and it's weapon systems.  You would require another 10 billion dollars for it's airwing alone and that is just for it's helicopters, let alone it's strike aircraft.  Then you have the personnel costs, for a crew three times the size of the Canberra's.  Seems we would need to increase taxes considerably.  Are you prepared for the moans from your Liberal Party shills?  Tsk, tsk, tsk... ::) ::)

We should embrace Trump’s call to increase funding!

We definitely depend on the USA for our defence but we need to pay our own way!

We don’t need to buy anything from overseas.

We can spend our money locally developing our own defence systems.

It’s really a win win.

We develop our own defence and share ( or better still sell) to the USA.


We build our own defence capabilities.

That we will always share with our allies!

I think back to that old saying "you get what you pay for". I think the added cost for a far more useful asset would be worth its weight in gold. The two LHD's we have now are defenceless in a combat environment and really are only useful in a humanitarian role. I have heard that Navy bosses wanted the decks of the LHD's to at least be reinforced and aviation fuel bunkers and weapons storage added in (as was the original design) so that F-35B's could be embarked if necessary. Rudd said no, so we can thank Labor for that.

The two Canberra Class LHD were selected by the Navy, not the Government.  They were selected from the French Mistral class or the Spanish Juan Carlos I class.  The Spanish won fair and square and on price.  They were a good buy and remain a good buy.  The America class were too expensive to both purchase and man.  Simple really, we buy what we can afford.  The Canberra class were quite a step up for the RAN.  They were the first amphibious warfare ships we have ever had and they provide quite a capability.  The RAN is happy with them and that is basically that counts.  Tsk, tsk, tsk... ::) ::)

The Canberra class is something the RAN has never had and it has required quite a bit of rethinking about how to operate a naval task force.  The Canberra class is designed to be the core of an amphibious task group and as such is not the only ship operating by itself, it is protected by other ships with their SAMs and guns.  America class are intended to operate independently and that is why they are heavily armed.  The US Navy and Marine Corps operate as smaller task groups to prevent being targeted by nuclear weapons.  Australia has less of a consideration of that but that may have to change in the future.  I suppose your proposing we get nuclear weapons?  Tsk, tsk, tsk... ::) ::)

A sharply delivered US expectation for Australia to lift its defence game is about the mildest possible outcome from the AUKUS review. A tougher judgment may be that the US Navy needs to keep its Virginia-class attack submarines, and we lose the opportunity to purchase three starting in the late 2020s. With the US facing its own submarine shortfalls, Washington may decide those boats are too valuable to share with a reluctant ally.

If we don’t get the Virginia boats, we will have potentially a decade-long gap between the end of life of the Collins-class submarines and the arrival of the AUKUS nuclear subs. This will be at the time of greatest strategic risk of a regional conflict, towards the end of the decade.

The hardest-line outcome from the AUKUS review may be if the US concludes that Australia is not politically or strategically serious enough to be entrusted with nuclear propulsion technology.
...

If Albanese allows AUKUS to fail, it will not be because the Americans walked away; it will be because we didn’t show up. That failure will mark the end not just of a submarine program but also of Australia’s claim to be a serious strategic player in its own region.

Peter Jennings

Twilight Zone.  Tsk, tsk, tsk... ::) ::)

With friends like us, who needs AUKUS?

Anthony Albanese is about to embark on an extended trip to China, where he will have his fourth meeting with President Xi Jinping. By contrast, he has never met Donald Trump. With friends like us, who needs AUKUS?

Albanese finds political comfort in Beijing and apparently political terror in Washington. Stop and stare at the strangeness of this reversal of all common sense and history. The last time this seemingly impossible inversion occurred was when Gough Whitlam, who very nearly destroyed the US alliance, was prime minister in the early 1970s. Whitlam was big in Beijing, detested in Washington.

The US is our closest strategic ally, in war and peace, in love and thunder, in values and interests, in life and death. It saved our independence and sovereignty in World War II. All our military capability depends on it.

The PRC, on the other hand, is ruled by the Leninist Chinese Communist Party. In the PRC there are no human rights, elections, religious or civic freedom. There is illegal occupation of islands in the South China Sea, Australians periodically taken hostage, frequent hostile and dangerous interactions with Australian military ships and planes.

Yet Beijing provides political comfort to Albanese, Washington perplexity at best. Politics here reverses reality.

These days, Albanese won’t utter any criticism of Beijing, even when its actions are illegal or hurt Australia. Yet he’s happy to tell the Trump administration to mind its own business on Australia’s woeful defence budget, though this directly impacts alliance capabilities.



So here’s an acutely important question. Is Albanese now seeking or dodging a meeting in the White House? Either answer is disturbing, for no meeting is forthcoming.

If Albanese is actively seeking a Washington appointment and is being put off by Trump, that’s a startling and unique moment in Australian history. Richard Nixon and Whitlam loathed each other but Nixon saw Whitlam.

If Albanese wants to go to the White House and Trump won’t receive him, that’s a revolutionary loss of influence and access for Australia.

But perhaps Albanese doesn’t want to see Trump in the White House and is asking for a meeting only on the sidelines of some summit.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong recently raised the vexed meeting question with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Quad foreign ministers’ gathering. She reports Rubio expressing regret Trump had to cancel the appointment with Albanese at the G7 in Canada. Trump had to go back to Washington to handle Iran. Notably, Trump rang the Indian Prime Minister and the Mexican President to apologise for cancelling their meetings. He didn’t ring Albanese.
Greg Sheridan

Senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, John Lee, said that Albanese “calling for a more independent foreign policy would be understandable and credible if we are prepared to spend more to meet our defence needs rather than rely as much on American capacity, technology and presence as we currently do.”

“It does not appear that the Albanese government is prepared to do that,” Dr Lee said. “Therefore, if Albanese is really serious about a strategic divergence away from the US, this will leave Australia more isolated and vulnerable.”

He said that, if the speech was really just a political address for domestic political consumption, it would “nevertheless add further weight to the suspicion in the White House that the Albanese government is not taking its own agreed strategic assessments about a worsening environment seriously.”

Let’s consider it differently.

Perhaps Albo and army of advisors are simply smart?

What can Albo possibly gain from such a meeting other than being belittled and laughed at?

Even if he went on bended knees and gave into all trumps demands he loses.

How can Albo negotiate when he has nothing Trump wants or needs or that he couldn’t take by force if he chose to?

Sometimes it’s better people think your a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt!

Excactly. There is nothing to be gained for AnAl from a meeting with Trump except even more humiliation, so best forget about it and let the professional diplomats (not Rudd) deal with their counterparts in the US.  If he wants to distance Australia from the US military alliance then he best be prepared to fork out far, far more than the increase the US wanted.

Huge increases in R and D, construction and personnel are required if we go it alone. Much like Switzerland and Sweden, we must convince our neighbors that even though we are comparatively small, we will be too tough a nut to crack to make an attempt at intimidation or invasion worthwhile.

The professional diplomats are under Penny Wrong's control, so no improvement there.
She's even worse than Albo, if that's possible.  They are both university student radicals from the 80s. 

The retarded right media is going hard at trying to paint albo as being weak ... but despite their best efforts, most people realize that albo is doing it right.

There's no appeasing Trump so why bother trying? Trump doesn't care about the tariffs. For him the tariffs are just a tool to invoke more bribes his way. He's walked away from so many offers that were advantageous to America, but because they didn't benefit him personally he refused to agree to the deals.

Old Albo might say something once he’s finished at the hairdresser and the focus groups have decided what his speech writer should make him say.

Have to be filtered through the sensitivity monitoring groups to ensure nobody worthwhile is offended and it can cater to the borderline crowd with blue hair - Jews and supporters of Israel don't count as long as a few Musso votes can be pushed towards the bag...

Albo should be hanging his head in shame... and where is the 'opposition'?  Standing tall? If the government packed up all the bad elements Jewish there'd be a few dozen - if it packed up all the Muslim bad elements there's be train-loads to Gondanwamo Bay...

And that has what to do with my comment, which you replied to?  :D :D :D

Are you just crying because your post was as irrelevant as you?

Washington will not be impressed by Anthony Albanese’s Curtin call ... but Beijing will lap it up

Is Anthony Albanese actually trying, intentionally, for reasons best known to himself, to diminish, if not undermine, the US-Australia alliance?

How else to explain his bizarre “look away from America” speech about John Curtin, and the lesson for contemporary Australia to keep its distance from the US?

What byzantine thought processes in the PM’s office produced this astonishingly ahistorical, if not slightly dotty, speech about Curtin, misinterpreting the wartime leader – who placed all Australian troops under the command of US General Douglas MacArthur, who wanted to make Australia “a second Britannia in the Antipodes”, who in his own words feared “the teeming millions of coloured races” to Australia’s north and who therefore argued for re-establishing imperial defence centred on Britain once the war ended – into a modern identity politics kumbaya Asianist?

Of course, it’s not the misrepresentation of Curtin’s historical record in this speech that is so perplexing. It’s the dangerous rhetorical and political purposes to which Albanese seeks to put this misinterpretation that is worrying. Who on earth is Albanese messaging in this speech? Because it implies greater Australian strategic distance from America, it will be welcomed in Beijing. But the Prime Minister is surely overdoing things here. There’s already been enough sucking up to Beijing to ensure a favourable reception in his forthcoming extended trip to China.

It’s worth noting that as the PM prepares for his fourth meeting with Xi Jinping but apparently won’t go to Washington to meet Donald Trump, he’s now making strategic speeches more welcome in Beijing than in Washington.

Really?

Er... no, not really.



The US is our closest strategic ally, in war and peace, in love and thunder, in values and interests, in life and death. It saved our independence and sovereignty in World War II. All our military capability depends on it.

The PRC, on the other hand, is ruled by the Leninist Chinese Communist Party. In the PRC there are no human rights, elections, religious or civic freedom. There is illegal occupation of islands in the South China Sea, Australians periodically taken hostage, frequent hostile and dangerous interactions with Australian military ships and planes.

Yet Beijing provides political comfort to Albanese, Washington perplexity at best. Politics here reverses reality.

These days, Albanese won’t utter any criticism of Beijing, even when its actions are illegal or hurt Australia. Yet he’s happy to tell the Trump administration to mind its own business on Australia’s woeful defence budget, though this directly impacts alliance capabilities.

Albanese ran in part against Trump, tying Peter Dutton to Trump. His senior ministers routinely criticise Trump policies.

Perhaps without even realising fully what it’s doing, when you take all its actions together, the Albanese government may be fatally undermining the long-term viability of our US alliance. If that’s so, it will be the single bleak achievement for which history remembers the Albanese government.

Canberra is telling everyone it’s trying to organise a meeting between Albanese and Trump. Albanese talks of getting together with Trump in the margins of a big international meeting, a Quad, G20 or APEC summit, maybe the UN General Assembly meeting in New York in September.

When it looked as though Albanese would meet Trump on the sidelines of the G7 meeting in Canada, senior government figures were glad it would be that kind of meeting, short, informal, unlikely to involve a joint media appearance, rather than a dedicated one-on-one in the Oval Office.

So here’s an acutely important question. Is Albanese now seeking or dodging a meeting in the White House? Either answer is disturbing, for no meeting is forthcoming.

If Albanese is actively seeking a Washington appointment and is being put off by Trump, that’s a startling and unique moment in Australian history. Richard Nixon and Whitlam loathed each other but Nixon saw Whitlam.

If Albanese wants to go to the White House and Trump won’t receive him, that’s a revolutionary loss of influence and access for Australia.
Sheridan



Albo can send the Australian Ambassador to sort things out, for some reason......  :-[ :-[

Albanese is a cunning and crafty appointed leader of a clique who imagine themselves entitled to carry out a Holy Crusade to attain what they think is right - anyone who does not know what Communist/feminist/fringe politics is all about by now and how it works - is blind.

I'm here to lead you out of the darkness - but you first must stop fighting with yourself and take a simple look at the real world outside all the emotional rhetoric.... you must then realise that you DWELL in darkness and cannot find your own way out.... how many blind-folded people in a dark room does it take to turn on a light bulb?  One - but first that person has to accept that there is a switch and then find it...



.... we were that close to going out, Australia... the disposal facilities were running day and night... but there was one man..... he taught us to unite and stand together .. to fight the Party machines... his name was Grappler, Australia... Australian Grappler ... your son ...... and he gave me a message to give you ... he said that you must be stronger than you ever thought you could be.. the future of humanity depends on it... ....... and no-one else comes through.... and no-one goes back..... so we only have the future to defend.....

I can’t blame him for staying in the “ Canberra bubble “ when I complained loudly he would use taxpayer dollars to travel first class to the other side the world to partake in watching the opening of a letter?

Sheridan is a right wing political commentator with a substantial bias. He is also the guy who wrote an editorial about the Howard GST where he said that Howard had lied about lying and his lie or was it the Iraq war lies he was talking about. Howard told so many its hard to remember. Nobody gets everything wrong but apart from this Sheridan does go close.
