Like you, Mara, I do not see a lot of common ground between China and most western countries. It has always been that way. But there was no better trading partner for the range of products we sell than China. We should remember that and it was the dictates of Biden and Co on a weak Australian Prime Minister that made us a sacrificial lamb and ruined that export market, forever. It could have been managed, but wasn't.
Just for interest, some of these export products are now being supplied by the USA. Does that surprise anyone? Also applies in Europe with fuel, gas and grain products after the US and its stooges instituted all their sanctions against Russia. There has to be a winner in such matters and it is always the USA. In Europe right now, increasing its exports daily.
Another coincidence?
Historically we have a history of being a servile supporter of dictatorial powers having grovelled to the UK until 1945 and since them jumping at every command by the world's most villainous country, in any era. And so it will always be as indications of QUAD, AWKUS, ANZUS and now a new Pacific Forum set the tone for our future.
Please try and avoid being disappointed with the new government, Mara. Six weeks today has shown us that when beckoned, Australia comes running to US / NATO functions, everywhere we are required to show our allegiance to the big bully.
It will never be otherwise. Six weeks confirms that clearly.
To be honest, I never really expected otherwise. Both Scomo & Albo are puppets who have been put in those leadership positions purely because they do what they are told by the backroom boys. I'm disappointed that the Greens & Teals got so much support, and that the Freedom parties got so little (or not where it counts) - but not truly surprised, given the marketing around climate change & so on.
