Nothing has changed, I see.

I can keep ignoring your articles.

Australia has its own conflicted lease deal with the Chinese Communist Party in disguise, leasing the Port of Darwin.
Trust a politician; sure can’t.

Once the bad deal is established, the return road is blocked at every point. Albanese ran on one of his polished lies last election, with a promise to reclaim the Port of Darwin: An impossibility now, without a war with China they are obviously itching for.

With our own example of unfixable stupidity staring back for the next hundred years, the Chagossians hope of fixing a broken deal will obviously follow along the same path of hopelessness as our own.
