'Disturbingly lightweight': Penny Wong takes aim at Scott Morrison's foreign policy agenda

Penny Wong has rued Prime Minister Scott Morrison's foreign policy agenda and cautioned against his warnings over “negative globalism” as holding right-wing nationalist sentiment.

Ms Wong's wide-ranging speech warned of “increasing assertiveness” from China and the need to delicately balance this relationship with the United States.On this front, she said Labor was committed to a bipartisan approach, but said this did not mean it would offer"uncritical support" for all decisions.

“The assertion of China being a “newly developed economy” … is both one-sided and unfair. And it basically an echo of what the US has claimed.”During the state visit, Mr Morrison lauded the close ties of Australia and the United States and how his relationship with Donald Trump had only bolstered this strength.

She accused Mr Morrison of repeating talking points"reminiscent of the right-wing nationalism" seen in the US, as an attempt to"distract and divert."“Scott Morrison knows the nationalist agenda in the US is an anti-immigration agenda – but it is equally an anti-trade agenda,” she says.

Penny Wong is gearing to replace Albanese and become the next PM and she will win

JaneCaro What? Only reminiscent of 'right-wing nationalism'? It IS right-wing nationalism. It’s from the very playbook! Penny Wong really needs to stop pulling her punches.

It's not reminiscent. It's white supremascist code for jews.

Remember when SenatorWong thought she'd be in Parliament part of the winning labor team. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no one cares what you say. StillSalty LosingTheUnlosable auspol

penny I like you. 'right wing nationalism' has its roots in trade union movements....The ALP letsbeclear

What about negative federalism?

I think reminiscent is a bit of an understatedment.

She’s Wong again. 🤷‍♂️

Penny Wong is 100% correct. 20th century history proves her statement.

Probably because that’s what he is, as well as gullible and prone to cult affiliations.

Oh yeah, the second coming of Hitler is here

when will SenatorWong stop with her divisive BS. Enough sick of this.

Penny for PM

Chinese spy !!!!

Cos every part of globalism is awesome?

And she looks like and dresses like the leader of North Korea..what utter nonsense..get over the election loss..

AustralianLabor is heading towards being the Australian communist party

When the argument is lost right wing nationalism becomes the tool of the loser.

Keneally & Wong, the gifts that keep on giving. As PJK said, they jump on the hook for you

Always looks like that when your a globalist neo Marxist. The ALP is unelectable.

SenatorWong overshoots the target and misses. ScottMorrisonMP isn’t a right wing nationalist, like it or not. What’s on the money is her consistency in overshooting targets and why AustralianLabor keeps her as a frontbencher when she is an unlikable liability for AlboMP

She’s failed dismally with every portfolio she’s managed, why should anybody listen to what she has to say! auspol

Thank God he has respect for Australians and our country! You would sell us down the river to the UN leaving democracy in the sewerage an importing criminal after criminal! Thank God we voted for ScottMorrisonMP

Wrong Wong

She doesn't miss!

Who’s side she on? 🤔

Good. We don’t need the UN telling us what to do.

Identification with Australia and support for its interests... HOW DARE HE?

Have a whinge wong

What epic crap from a serial globalist.

slightly based of scomo ya boi Fraser Anning as PM when

If only.

deniseshrivell PM piss only if the small orange baby says it is right.

❤️Ever professional SenatorWong Agree we can’t be pro-free trade & anti-globalist. If we run out of resources due to ClimateChange , we'll need these friends. Scomo could be damaging us with his smoke n' mirrors routines. auspol

She is correct

Morrison is a happy clapping charlatan using fear to maintain power. Globalism is what will save us, nationalism will destroy us.

YaThinkN Hey Penny SenatorWong want to discuss lightweights? ⬇️ Credit photo deaf_soundo auspol AustralianLabor

nakarithorpe Go back to Adelaide and stay there.

Whenever you DON’T agree with the leftist logic..you are either right wing, extremists, racists, bigots, homophobic, islamophobic etc etc etc NO we just don’t agree with you or have the right to express ourselves as freely as you do Penny! Grow up

Yer rip it up the low life prick and the rest of the lazy ministers to love your way of telling it as it is Norm Latham

Well said. There’s a reason America is in the position it is now. Now if only someone would address the company the PM keeps. mategate

auspol

Just a tip Penny - There's nothing wrong with being on the 'right' side of politics. And there's nothing wrong with nationalism, it simply means you love your country. And we do love our country. Leftism is the true threat to our security & freedom.

Is there such a thing as 'left-wing nationalism'?

Penny will say whatever Mr Huang tells her. Under a Labor government Australia will kowtow to Beijing.

Oh course they are. That kind of rhetoric is the hallmark of facist governments throughout history. auspol

So who is UN Labor and who is Australian Labor? I'm cough confused.

Next she’ll be likening him to Hitler the way she dramatises everything. Should try being quiet and listen to what electorate wants

Penny distorting Morrison's words again. If you don't believe there's negatives in globalism you don't belong in charge of our country.

I don't want an foreign entity to tell us what to do Penny, if we have no borders there will be no country.

Australia, we have become a nation of docile submissivesWe knew Scott Morrison loved quiet Australians; we didn’t suspect he’d make it compulsory to be one. 'Really, there is something deeply wrong with Australia.' Perhaps the curse of the original sin of having 'acquired' a jumbo island brimming with resources & decimated oldest continuously living human society, that misogyny & racism had to be casual & pervasive –as daily insult. Or most people don't really care just wanting to be left alone to raise their kids and get on with their lives We have always been 'all talk'. This country is gullible, scared and greedy, 'don't rock the boat, my house might drop in value'.

Government warns of price hike if it listens to IMF's carbon-pricing pushThe Morrison government has dismissed international calls for a dramatic policy shift on climate change despite new warnings its will not meet its commitments. CroweDM Fossil fools and their fossil fuels 🤷‍♀️ CroweDM Look, we’d like to do something to prevent a climate apocalypse and the end of civilisation as we know it, but frankly it would just make electricity more expensive and might even cause people to use less. And of course that is completely unacceptable. CroweDM :(

Government takes aim at banks over rate cuts failureThe federal government will launch a new inquiry into the market power of the big four banks in a new sign of the political fury at the lenders for denying home buyers a saving worth $500 a year by failing to pass on official cuts to interest rates. So they'd rather do another time wasting exercise than focus on the economy themselves. Trying to deflect their own deficiencies. JoshFrydenberg is a fraud and coward Govt can't do a thing & banks know it....They walked out of the royal commission free, no CEO or executive charged or bank fined for defrauding customers
