French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian says France is immediately recalling its ambassadors to Australia and the US in response to the new submarine deal.
The pact meant Australia scrapped a $90 billion contract to buy French conventional submarines in favour of nuclear-powered subs built with US technology.
Wee wee on Morrison everyone !!
Australia has the right to buy good and excellent merchandise Australia is not in West or North Africa to buy France's shit من حق استراليا شراء بضاعة جيدة والممتازة استراليا ليست في غرب او شمال افريقيا لتشتري الخرذة الرديئة الفرنسية USA_australia 🇦🇺
Best move this government has done in years. Turnbull’s deal for the subs from France was a dogs breakfast from the start. France kept moving the goal post and increasing cost overruns. Would not listen to Australia’s concerns with rising tensions China’s rapid military build up.
Our political system is broken we are loosing our middle class and small business we look destined now to follow the American Middle class into poverty and war. How would it be if one of these mega expensive noisy toxic underwater coffins had a leak in Sydney harbour or sank
The French have short memories! They should go, and visit all their memorials with all the Australian, and American names on them 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸 Their Freedom came at a Heavy Price! Lest We Forget ❤️🇦🇺🇺🇸❤️
Disappointed - how to antagonize all; score for diplomacy = 0!
We have super incompetent PM & his War Secretary Dutton now. they messed up every crises Aus has faced since he became PM=Covid/Vaccination/NuclearSubs/AusAbroadTrapped&China to name a few.TIME4HIM2GO!Anyone for the job? come back Kevin Rudd or even Albanese!
France has to do a better job to make your customer happier. A motto 'Customer is always right'. Deliver on time without any cost increased is procurement 101.
They called AU Traitor and can’t be trusted
Facing the growing threats from south chinasea, enhancing own marine defense is a correct choice as long as the Biden gov is changing US's role nomore a world leader.
StephenMcDonell French reaction should be viewed through the coming presidential election 2022
Cowards, running away again! SurrenderMonkeys
They fart in our general direction
Embarrassing by Aus Gov display of bad faith and rudeness. Regardless of the military wisdom or otherwise of the move, it is not the way no-one do business with friends. Aus would have been similarly incensed had France scrapped the deal and left us in the lurch.
Hey France, remember how the US and Australia helped save your arse in WW1 and WW2 ? Dont call us again next time ok
This is bully, not alliance!
Bye
That’ll show em….
Who have we become. Mustering posse of HATE under the orders of the US marshal
Good riddance
Public Relations or Election propaganda. You choose.
Diplomacy , diplomacy We don't give a shit about diplomacy
I hope it's not going to be a repeat of the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior.
France screwed Australia over in the un. The media creates so many blind lemmings...
France & their un/ eu standover tactics did not work on the UK & who left, now they focus on Poland who looks like will leave the eu. Italy has 2 leave to prosper. Then eu will collapse and maybe, france will the realise once their power is taken away, how to treat other nations
Bon voyage Frenzy!! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Looks like the blunderfromdownunder has managed to piss of an ally, France, a major trading partner, China with is dodgy sub deal. And turned AUKUS into FUCKUS
lol 😂
If France had joined it would have been AUKUSFU
The French may have forgotten what they said about the Anglo-Saxons long ago: like a group of villains looking for carrion vultures with sinister and cunning eyes.
Australia will be paying for this folly for generations. Dutton is a dangerous racist and needs to go.
They’ll be back
But Scovid is one of the best retail politicians of our time! I'm shocked!
This is France that blew up the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour people. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over this.
Ahhhh who cares about France...been bailed out by Allied troops in 2 world wars...Im sure they wouldn't even have a country if it wasn't for the US and UK
Hissy fit ! A mess conjured by both parties . LNP poking the bear again , couldn't organise a fart in a toilet without it being problematic !
I bought a french boat. Can't say the process went smoothly! Very little concessions to me for not being French! And who wants a diesel powered submarine anyway? The French can sulk but this was a commercial deal that was already half sunk.
Ashamed to be an Australian citizen today. The 'that's how we do things in Australia, we help our mates' aussie spirit, I'm guessing won't be trotted out this time. Sincere apologies to France. France
Bunk, the EU club should have embraced Australia for having shared values, in trade and defence partnerships decades ago ?
Considering the French subs were originally nuclear powered, but Australia demanded Diesel there has to be alot more in this than just going nuclear which we could have achieved by changing the French deliver. Lifetime fueled Core could be a reason, also extra US support another
Ooh someone’s salty 🧂
Morrison electioneering announcement that will cost the taxpayer $billions over the next 30years. Who for? Another MorrisonFailure and LNP pre election campaign. With the rapid effects of climate change, there probably won't be a need for nuclear submarines
wendoureeswans La France devrait proposer de vendre des sous-matines de Chine rejetées par l'AUSTRALIE
I’d much rather be closely aligned with countries like France, Canada and NZ over the UK and US, who seem to seek perpetual war.
Seems a bit petty
Hypocrites
Does this mean Brizzy Lions will have to change their club song?
We are very good at breaking up contracts
What a disaster PM Morrison is. For the good of Australia someone please tap him on the shoulder. Then he can trot off and be a preacher or something
As with every National decision, its all been about the 'spotlight of attention' with zero thought about the collateral damage, once again it's the same, only difference this time it's our International standing that suffers 👎
Hahaha
All democratic countries should be in the deal, against authoritarian regimes.
Macron is a petit Napoleon who bullies and withdraws his ambassadors to allied countries with regularity it seems. It appears to be him who cannot be trusted. More media scrutiny of the French sub deal is perhaps justified.
War mongering AUKUS is starting to shed allies...not a smart move.
Sooky sooky lah lahs.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why hasn’t anyone made this comparison yet?
As France recalls its ambassador to Australia over submarine deal and the AUKUS agreement, one genuinely must conclude a total absence of ScottMorrisonMP to engage In diplomacy OF ANY KIND with friends, foes or even neutral sovereign states. The man is simply an empty suit.
It's like we dumped our partner for a younger loose canon model.
Voice from underground Paris: don’t you trust Anglo Saxon....
Predictable !
They will get compensated quite handsomely not be out of pocket and what they offered was second rate. However we have never got it right buying and building hardware. Never.!!
French companies must be upset they haven't received the $400,000,000 contract exit fee yet. This is contractual not diplomatic.
Well, if they were competent and professional with their end of the contract, the issue would have never arisen. They were content to dawdle along while cost blowouts became eye watering, now they're having a tantrum because we called their bluff !! Cry me a river !!
Hamsters and elderberries!
Just awful!
We should just stick to buying a few Chanel and LV bags from French. No subs.
So recalling ambassadors is something he likes to do.
Oh, the shock and horror.
