Yes. Australia is out of touch: not so much with the rest of the world, but with our own, English-speaking allies.

A recent article in the SMH revealed that the US is concerned about the Albanese government's failure to speak up about China publicly, as previous Australian governments did. The leftist government being much less willing to discuss the threat of China than previous Australian governments could risk AUKUS.

The usual denials of softness towards China by foreign minister Wong are unlikely to reassure the US that an Albanese government would use the AUKUS submarines in a possible conflict with China.

It is noted by the US that Western left parties used to feel the same way as conservative ones about Communism, but that might no longer apply? Particularly in leftist Australia.

For those who refuse to see & listen !
Looking at the Western Woke though this could actually be used to make them wake up !

Can I assume that Australians are quite happy with going down that road ?

If the current government had any you know whats they would cease all immigration for a couple of years to let things get sorted out. That wont happen so we continue to flounder along on any path available and the country continues on the downward way.
Glad i'm at the end of life and dont have to worry about the future.

gj123,

I feel the same. And I'm sick of this need to 'leave a better society for future generations' nonsense.

How about leaving a better future generation for society.
