Australia's appalling treatment of a former strong ally in France has forced it to withdraw its ambassador in just the latest in an ever-increasing list of grossly irresponsible, rogue nation behaviours by Australia.

Under the Coalition and since 2000 our rogue actions include:

. Illegal invasion of Iraq and live televised public execution of Saddam Hussein.
. Oil / cash for wheat scandal with Saddam Hussein.
. Shafting East Timor over oil/gas in the NW Shelf.
. Infantile spying on Indonesian leaders - exposed and handled very poorly due to Abbott's gross incompetence.
. Slashing Australia's overseas aid budget.
. Gifting naval patrol boats to Sri Lanka to allow it to exterminate Tamils.
. Treating asylum seekers as terrorists, indefinite illegal detention in offshore concentration camps - similar to what the US does to those it inters in Guantanamo Bay.
. Trashed our relationships with Japan by rejecting its submarine proposal after first encouraging it.
. Trumpeting Trump's gross and intentionally offensive war of words against China as Covid19 emerged as a pandemic - alienating China
. Without consulting the Australian People Morrison is now looking to sign Australia up to hideously expensive and environmentally disastrous nuclear powered submarines.
. Corrupting the OECD by installing a former MP known for environmental terrorism.
. Undermining the United Nations - refusing to acknowledge its expertise throughout the pandemic - echoing the Trump line.
. In further offence to China and without even consulting Parliament, Dutton and Payne have invited the USA to treat Australia as if its Pearl Harbour.

. Much more still to come

Clearly, it's a horror story as the Coalition transforms Australia into a modern version of North Korea but with much greater financial reserves.
