Prime Minister Scott Morrison arrives in New York ahead of meetings with US President Biden and other world leaders on Monday.Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said there was no way to avoid France’s anger over Australia cancelling its lucrative submarine contract.

Mr Morrison is in the US for meetings with President Joe Biden and other members of the so-called Quad alliance - India and Japan - but his trip is being overshadowed by French fury at the decision. But Mr Morrison has indicated there will be no such “opportunity” for him to have a similar conversation for now.

“One of our member states has been treated in a way that is not acceptable,” Ms von der Leyen told CNN.Australia to acquire nuclear-powered submarines as part of new US-UK defence deal

Remind the French about their government sponsored terrorism in NZ with the “Rainbow Warrior” and their continued denial of the event.

' its lucrative submarine contract.' So greed is the new (forged) angle, now ?

Scomo, you've read the room wrong. We're going to be paying for yet another mistake of yours. Call an election now. You've made my choice easy.

Well he just gave them $9 billion dollars of tax payer dollars to sever the contract. So now they have a nice pocket and don’t have to give us anything.

Perhaps France should have met contract obligations. Good to see others getting a taste of the EU monopoly, understand y uk left, the contract was with France not the EU so not sure why they are involved

What bunk, arms race in info-pacific, China has nuclear weapons and pursuing supersonic and space weaponry, it's organise and catchup or perish ?

How much is this call to the boss's office costing us. We have Ambassadors in America to do this.

Hope he gets to visit distant relatives while he's there. Maybe he will bring back some stranded countrymen on his public jet. There will be plenty of room.

Fwit...

Does anybody know if liquidated damages were built into the contract?

Who cares what France says it's what makes Australia better in the war fight that's what matters .

Off the subject but I friggin’ hate that he wears a mask with the Australian flag on it!!!!

Thank god we got out of the silly outdated security breeched diesel Submarine Labor government deal. Too bad we couldn't get out of the NBN deal as well! LOL

Well I suppose we know how betrayed the Russians felt when France sold ships they had already paid for!

We should do whats better for us.

Nothing upsets people more than losing money, Britain left the E.U taking 20% of the GDP with it leaving France, Germany and Italy to carry the burden for the freeholders. The fact that the Brits were part of the deal just rubs salt into the wound. Frances economy is hurting.

Luckily, there will soon be a way to cancel Morris, called election. Common ScottMorrisonMP, what are you waiting for? morrisonmustgo LNPCorruptionParty LNPfail

Did he stop in Hawaii on the way?

I think he is there to beg Biden to help Australia maintain its Climate denying position as we have been excluded from the upcoming climate meeting.

Bold Faced Liar … hes expert at it he’s been doing it to the Australian Public the entire time he’s been in power

Revolting sight

Slimy cunt

Did he get a red carpet?

But there WAS a way to avoid France’s anger BEFORE Australia canceled its lucrative submarine contract. (canceled is only one 'L' btw)

Perhaps, but there was certainly a way to be more respectful and dignified when dealing with an ally.

PHOTO SHOOT!!! SBS THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS TO REPORT ON THAN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Certainly no way with him as Prime Minister, required diplomacy.

He's never had to let anyone down nicely. Has never thought to. He is the centre of the universe and has no concept of others view.

I don't hold a phone

Trade talks are over. Expect more retaliation in the coming weeks, months and years.

He would know. After all he tried to call them.

Why do I not believe him?

not now ... ScottyFromMarketing fails yet again auspol LNPfail

Morrison makes up bullshit as he goes. He just doesn't care auspol

toxic masculinity/misogyny in the region is a massive red flag .. might thank scomo for this move one day ... when i finally meet someone famous

So he can go over there but we can’t go? That’s fair.

Scott Morrison net satisfaction ratings at lowest levels since March 2020Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s net satisfaction ratings have hit the lowest levels since March 2020 while the Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese's ratings have also fallen since he became Opposition Leader more than two years ago. No one should vote labour, liberal or greens in any election for a decade Thats why UAP is so active ! Feeding on our political disatisfaction. Do we really want people like Palmer & Kelly ? The people are speaking !! They don’t want to go too far to the left, and they want SCOMO to move back to the centre right !!

Scott Morrison says he doesn't regret scrapping French submarine dealPrime Minister Scott Morrison says he does not regret his decision to scrap a $90 billion submarine deal with France in favour of a new alliance with the United States and the United Kingdom. Of course he doesn't - he imagines it makes him look strong and that he's restoring the US-Aust bond that was strained cause Trump and Biden clearly didn't really care about him. The Anglo-Saxon nations are better off placing their trust and reliance in each other. AngloSaxonPower Only a very good economic manager can think it is OK to break a contract worth $90mill.

PM Scott Morrison defends submarine dealTurnbull subs OUT I support the Morrison government's decision. China's breakthroughs in many core technologies such as high speed rail, nuclear energy and submarine silencing have been helped by France and Germany. The stupid politicians tied Australia's future and national interests to the chariots of two declining empires. At the same time, Australia raised a middle finger to a European friend and pushed a big friendly Asian client out of the door. Well done Morrison.
