Indeed, why would China bring a massive armada to conquer Australia, famously known for being checks notes over 2/3 worthless desert and what? 1k km away from literally everything else that matters?

Also based answer. Stupid reporter: "China is building ships is that not provocation?"

Gee moron what is the US doing then? Never mind everyone else or is China the only ones not allowed to have a military? He should have pointed out all the US bases around the pacific including the occupied Japan/Korean.

Both those countries have regular protests against these bases and yet having them against the will of the natives is not provocation lol.

Anyway Australia is shitty US vassal so none of this is surprising.

    To clarify, I meant the last few PM's

    I live in Canada, similar system

     

    Thanks for the explainer on the inner politics of the parties

    The moderates keep getting popular, and then get knifed by the PB hardliners with National support because checks notes they’d like the Murray River to not die and kill the most productive farmland inside a decade and so support irrigation restrictions and climate change taxes

    I saw a documentary on that

    Sad stuff :(

      I will say Albanese (our current guy) looks very stable, He's a left Labor guy but governing from the Right of the party in policy, so he's stable internally, and If he can face down the Murdoch Press and push the new advisory council for First Nations (another story) through a referendum he'll have the Liberals in the wilderness. The Libs are already reeling because the centre-right Intelligentsia split the party and formed a loose "Teal" coalition.
