Has Australia’s diplomacy been strong enough to support our strategic intentions when our actions have such serious consequences? | ANALYSIS

that Australia would push for an international inquiry into China’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak. For more than a year, the government has refused to accept it erred by announcing the global review on live television instead of consulting other countries first and perhaps making a joint statement.

From pushing for international inquiries into the actions of China to building a nuclear-propelled fleet of submarines, Australia is making some huge decisions. They may very well turn out to be the right calls. But we are now playing on the big stage, and the question must be asked: does the government have the right personnel and diplomatic skills to pull it off?Australia’s Foreign Minister too often fails to get ahead of issues on the horizon and deftly prosecute the government’s case.

Any criticism of the government’s handling of these announcements is always met with astonishment. It’s like the government is playing chess and the rest of us are playing checkers; we shouldn’t have the temerity to question their brilliance.

Following the U.S blindly in hope of getting daddy's love

What exactly are our strategic intentions 🤷‍♂️

Shouldn’t really surprise anyone! Unfortunately ScottMorrisonMP and his Government have just made a mess of things by thinking they are smarter than everyone else- lack of real leadership, no accountability and no transparency!!

That’s because Scott Morrison is clumsy and arrogant. He thinks God has called him to this vocation. A dangerous place to start.

France withdraws ambassadors to Australia and US over submarines dealThe French Foreign Minister says the decision is 'justified by the exceptional seriousness of the announcements' made by the new AUKUS alliance between the US, Australia and the UK. So recalling ambassadors is something he likes to do. Oh, the shock and horror. Just awful!

'A stab in the back': French anger with Australia over cancelled submarine dealFrance's Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian lashes out at Australia's decision to cancel a $90 billion submarine deal, saying that 'trust has been broken'. Every 6 months the French were over budget, & then asking for a further 2 year extension. Sure . Viva La France ! What are they complaining about? The French were not fulfilling their side of the deal. Australia is perfectly justified in cancelling. Interesting that the party that can’t deliver the promised product unless the party buying it settles for it being late and much more expensive than agreed is the one acting all hurty feels and talking about a betrayal.

'A clumsy, inadequate and unAustralian situation': French Ambassador departs Canberra after recallJean-Pierre Thebault leaves Canberra offering a scathing analysis of Australia's diplomacy in recent days, describing the decision to scrap the government's $90 billion submarine contract as a 'huge mistake'. It’s not up to up to people from overseas territories to tell us what is and what isn’t ‘Australian’. What is Australian is the protection of Australians. Hope France has learnt their lesson. Next time, make it a contract. French ambassador to Australia seen at residence.

Diplomatic fallout with China France. What a wreckage on top of sexism debacle, vaccine , covid clumsiness ,1 trillion debt , unashamely sexism, consistently failed wars since Vietnam. The US takeover of Australia is almost complete. A walk in the park compared to Afghanistan.
