Heaven forbid! She is worse than the rest of the Labor ministers put together. A dreadful person.

"I have one last task for Penny Wong. She might even be able to do this as Foreign Minister – to end the ceaseless cycle of war that has plagued the human race since the beginning of recorded history. It, warfare, is built into our genetic makeup. We can never stop it, but we can make the United Nations more effective in stopping war."

Ukraine:
"This attack is wholly unprovoked and without justification. Russia alone is the aggressor, and Russia alone bears responsibility for the bloodshed and suffering that will follow."
- You're delusional if you think this position takes into account the true events of how this conflict came to be.
You can't prevent or end conflicts if you're not honest about how we got here in the first place.

- No NATO in Ukraine -

Trying to read soft in the head Peters diatribe, is now impossible without vomiting, after this radical left wing set piece durge.

God I’m over suffering this idiotic crap!

All you would get from Wong is boilerplate United Nations policies, open borders, net zero, loss and damage, climate refugees, racism scares, etc. As if we don't have enough of that stuff from Albanese.

Senator Wong's views and beliefs are central to all that is wrong with the ALP. It is similar actions, views and beliefs from the senior ALP Ministers that have made the ALP unelectable as the next Government,

However, the writer, Mr Bowden, praise for Wong doesn't surprise me as he had previously stated "A bewildering wave has propelled...."

Living in a Socialist fog can create these views, I suspect.

" end the ceaseless cycle of war that has plagued the human race since the beginning of recorded history. It, warfare, is built into our genetic makeup. We can never stop it, but we can make the United Nations more effective in stopping war."

Oh fa' cryin' out loud. Wong to end war? Perhaps while she's at it she can organise to make every Sunday a bright and sunny day to end the weekend, perhaps with a pleasant sun shower around 4pm to take the edge off. Each of those things are equally likely.

Why is it that whenever an ALP government gets into electoral hot-water, they think that bringing in a women will fix it? Gillard, Kristina Keneally etc. And when such woman fails miserably, they blame misogyny.

Wong is a mildly competent head of DFAT. That's all. But its a portfolio where its difficult to screw things up and most Foreign ministers are reasonably well thought of. But put them in the rough and tumble of domestic politics and the faecal matter will hit the cooling device.
