Scott Morrison’s first meeting with Joe Biden at the G7 was dubbed a snub by his detractors. It would lead to the 'biggest strategic step Australia has taken in generations', writes Rob Harris auspol AUKUS subs

Scott Morrison’s first meeting with Joe Biden in the Cornish seaside resort of Carbis Bay had some bad press. The much anticipated bilateral between the pair at the G7 in June was dubbed a snub by Morrison’s detractors and political opponents at home because British Prime Minister Boris Johnston had joined them., that Morrison’s “inability” and “failure” to secure a one-on-one meeting with Biden was because of his “stubborn refusal” to commit to net zero emissions by 2050.

It was proposal 18 months in the making and a secret only a handful of people were trusted to keep for months. It would result in what theas “biggest strategic step Australia has taken in generations.” Morrison says it is now “probably the most important trilateral meeting Australia has had for the past 70 years”.

“This is a debate we should no longer avoid, especially as the strategic balance is shifting even faster now than last year’s defence white paper anticipated. I’m not saying that we must go nuclear, but surely we should at least consider the option before the opportunity is lost for another several decades.”

It was after this group was formed that Morrison told his first colleague, then-defence minister Linda Reynolds, as the pair went to work on a project which remained secret for months. He did, however, speak to Johnson about the possibility weeks earlier. The pair agreed the G7 would be the place to start the formal discussions.

Bullying must end, but it can’t all be tweet nothingsOpinion: Trolling public figures is never OK, but news organisations and journalists need to think seriously about how to engage with Twitter. …or not bother I'm a fan of Lisa's but I only saw her deactivate her account after the toxic Uhlmann tagged her in one of his bitter tirades about Twitter being a 'self-basting turkey'. I was of the thought she'd simply deactivated her account to distance herself from his nonsense🤷 'Journalists' don't like that that opinion can now be a two-way instead of one. One thing this pandemic has really highlighted to me is how 'journalists' frame everything with the agenda of their employer. Journalists need to think about how they troll themselves.
