A Medal for Albanese
The first time in many decades that an Australian Prime Minister has stood up for Australia’s sovereign interest by saying NO to the US to send our warships to the Red Sea. The US already has many warships there. The Houthis says that there is no threat to commercial shipping other than ships linked to the Israelis and the threat continues until there is a cease fire in the Gaza. The ONLY country that vetoed for a cease fire in Gaza is the US at the recent UN resolution for a ceasefire. The US have ensured that the Israeli/Palestinian war goes on and therefore the Houthis shipping threat remains. The US is now claiming that there is a threat to ALL commercial shipping and wants the rest of the world to support the US warships and the US agenda.
Our previous prime ministers ( Morrison, for one ) would have slavishly and sycophantically volunteered any and all of our military assets to comply with the US request, knowing that our warships and any other military assets and personnel would have next to no defence against drones and missile attacks.
Keep up the good work, Albo and keep looking after our military boys and girls AND our sovereign interest.
