The Chinese Government’s propaganda mouthpiece, The Global Times, has published an article endorsing Labor leader Anthony Albanese as a better prime minister than Scott Morrison.
The government-owned media outlet, which espouses the views of the Chinese Communist Party, is promoting an article praising Albanese as a “safe leader”, saying he “positively shines compared to Morrison”.
By contrast, Morrison is described as a “clown” and is accused of leading a government that is “imploding through corruption, failure to manage Covid-19 and a range of other anti-social programs and prejudices”.
The Global Times tweeted on February 14: “Albanese will not be a charismatic leader but he positively shines compared to Morrison. Such is abysmal state of Oz politics. One would like to see a reset in ties with China, but Oz leadership is weak and US pressure is sustained.”
The author of the piece is Bruce Haigh, a former diplomat with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
