@RHW
But Australia is building stronger bilateral *partnerships* with other middle powers (India, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Pacific Island Nations, PapuaNewGuinea, Britain, NATO! Etc.) and also consolidating our 60yrs plus UKUSA alliances (New Zealand, Canada and UK esp.) and also with the Five Powers Agreement, and then there is Australia’s work with ASEAN and other Western Pacific organisations… nothing is standing still in #ForeignRelations. We’re doing ok here imo. We could do more on the #PacificRim, granted.#AusPol #ForeignAffairs #BilateralAgreements #MiddlePowerAlliances

I’m unsure that Amy Remeikis’ description of the #Labor party’s strategic thinking in the recent by-election is 100% on point;
“That Labor chose a staffer-turned-gas lobbyist as its candidate in Secret Harbour showed more than any focus group that the government has not realised where the public is at.
Labor followed its old model of choosing candidates, because that’s how it is done. It forgets that the public is not as obsessed with the gas industry as it is – it assumes that, because it supports gas, the public does and being connected with the gas industry is enough to convince people the candidate is sensible. This was the same arrogance that saw Labor parachute Kristina Keneally into the seat of Fowler in 2019, only to see the backlash as an anomaly and not a shifting tide.”
Still, AMy’s article presents an arguably valid analysis. The fact remains that domestically, our federal govt is either ignoring or failing to read the room (I’ve said that much before in my political toots). I predict that this lacuna will be #AlboPM’s undoing as a leader of the #PartyWhichHasLostItsWay.
The Q. is, if I read Amy’s article correctly, why is #AlboPM selectively blind to majority public opinion on domestic issues where he can exert the most control as opposed to international affairs. Might he be looking to gain international recognition… in venal pursuit of a personal *legacy*?
