The Albanese Government is addicted to culture wars and virtue signalling over substantial policymaking:
As the Albanese government approaches 600 days in office, Penny Wong is preparing to make her first visit to the Middle East as foreign minister.
In coming days, Wong will travel to Israel, the occupied Palestinian territory in the West Bank and other key regional nations on a diplomatic mission full of opportunities for error, but with minimal scope for dramatic triumphs.
In other words, it is a complete waste of time and money to make Albo’s dills look like they’re doing something for an audience of minorities at home.
Meanwhile, the grownups are sending hard power:
The United States and its allies are weighing how to stop attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea after intercepting one of the largest barrages yet of drones and missiles fired from an area controlled by the Houthis, an Iranian-backed group in Yemen.
Bring Wong back and send a warship instead to support the US in policing the Red Sea so our oil imports are secure and ANZUS is supported.
