a courageous post gollum, as the early responses show.
I would love it if Albanese had the courage to withdraw Aus from AUKUS and the rip off subs too, but continuity of earlier commitments by Govs is important to maintain sovereign commitment to agreements: this is something that Morrison didn't understand.
imo theres a clear risk of mission creep from the Houthis. they're closer to tribal thinking and seem to lack the awareness of boundaries to their territory, so they are liable to be inclusive of other nations in their aggression.
yes Albanese deserves a pat on the back at least for not immediately jumping up and saying Yes Sir. if we over-commit to US conflict management, even though this is more about global trade than anything else, we run the risk of not being able to protect our own state.
