Offer ends 31 October, 2022 "My presence here represents a new start for our countries' relationship," Mr Albanese said after arriving at the Elysee Palace. Mr Macron said Mr Albanese's election win and the first conversations between the pair"mark a willingness to rebuild a relationship of trust between our two countries, a relationship based on mutual respect".
Ask Macron was he delivering the submarine on time? Ofcouse he wasn't and Australia had to make a choice.
Doesn't sound staged at all, particularly given they're both from the same wacky side of politics.
850 million dollars will do that
900mil later ffs
Two little weasels. Makes me shudder.
Albo should show some balls, and tell him to piss off.
He’s not indeed, but without his predecessor we would still be in a shit deal with old diesel technology
Wow, that’s a relief… 🤡
The Australian reported that it could cost as much as $5.5 billion for cancelled contract under Morrison Albanese reset relations+saved us $2.11 billion dollars. I guess you'll be voting Labor next time now that you know that? Or too dumb for that?
Has anyone lost sleep over that?
No shit Macron is happy. Albanese just gave him a billion dollars of taxpayer money.
Of course they got 835 million for doing nothing! He can now buy more gas from his friend Putin in Russia. AlboMP thanks for giving money away as we are all so well off in Australia….oh wait, we’re not. But you would know how that feels being a child from a single mother…
This is nothing to be proud about.
FFS, why are we sucking up to these frogs for? F..k them, we owe them nothing.
Nice of Macron to forgive and forget. But, he really could have and should have done it months ago. It really shouldn’t have taken a change in government for him to do it
Therefore no compensation
Citizens , teachers train drivers nurses on strike over a wage increase nah let’s give hundreds of millions away to France
Bet it hurts to say that sky news!
Yawn. It was over when you paid your mates friend $830m.
$850mil reach around will solve anything
Amazing what $850 million does 😳
They'd make such a lovely couple.
Cleaning up after Scummo and the Spud. Good job P.M.
Great! Blaming everything on ex government seems like a good idea.
The 800 million dollar handshake helped that 🙄
Bying a washing machine in the water was never going to cut it 😒
Must have taken years off your life to post this
The french got what they wanted The $$$$$ and more than needed They conned the ALP and sucker ALBO of course they want to move on.. Do you really think they would have the same attitude if the money was not handed over.
Emmanuel could you educate your new mate about the advantage of Nuclear Power now please
Lol maybe ask Australian citizens bout this one 🤣
Considering the great bribey pile of taxpayers money AlboMP just gave out im not surprised.
No one in Australia give a rats arse about a political relation.
Oh what a two faced arrogant fool Macron is. Alabaese just paid him $837 million in submarine compensation Australia didn't have to pay and now suddenly Macron and Albo are mates - I wonder how much tax payer money Albanese will pay China for a photo opportunity.
And thanks for the $860ml
& the 'money go round' ride, continues aye?! 😂
Two weakling puppets destroying their countries by order of their overlords.
Orchestrated.
Good on you Albo!!! As for Tim Smith he can sod off!!!!!
Two corrupt peas in a pod
After receiving millions $ of compensation by doing nothing, it’d be easy for him to say that.
Albo gives a top shelf reach around.
a billion dollar handshake would ease anyone
Bum licking a la european style
So why the compensation payout of millions?
$$$$$$$$$$$💰💰💰💰💰💰 I see what you did there Tony.
Loving Albo already our best PM since Bob Hawke...
With a $900m cheque I would also forget the past , milked Aus as long as we let them!
How about the 50,000 Australian Serviceman that gave their lives on the Western Front whilst these French cowards hid. They should be paying us bags of 💰 not the other way around. The owe Australia 🇦🇺 big time. FuckTheFrogs
Who cares what France thinks
2. for the German Army by Ludendorff, 2IC general to German Army Chief Hindenburg) and following battles. Australians were first to pierce the dreaded Hindenburg Line. Stuff your Submarines you insufferable and ungrateful flog.
what dutton put aus people safety first and the frogs second !!!!!
How about 50,000 of our best killed & over 100,000 wounded fighting on French soil in WW1 to help your country defend against German invasion. Along side Canada, Australia played a critical role in defeating Germany, spearheading the 9th of August offensive (called the black day
Labour supported the cancellation of the contract. Go figure. Shit contract , supplier unable to meet the contract and it Australia’s fault 😂.
Do we really want Macron as a friend? Certainly not at the cost
What would you expect? They’re both on the same page for the UN world government and the great reset! You will own nothing and be happy about it!
What a bloody suckhole of a PM. Of course other leaders love him, he’s an easy pushover!!!
Being held accountable doesn’t tend to be a allot of fun… I would love the alternative too!!!
One grovelled, the other accepted an overinflated cheque. Honours even. You wouldn't p..s on either.
You think Morrison left things fked up, imagine how this albo gronk will leave things for the next pm
So we get the money back then ? And do the subs again . Albo can then tell America sorry deal off .
A lefty love in with $850 million thrown in for good measure
What a ‘twat’ the French frog is!
You have a contract to cover cancellations right? Obviously the French subs were an inferior product! I don’t understand these globalist suckers🤬
Get a room
As he makes this statement with suit pockets bulging with cash!
Macron would say that. Albo has just given him $800million taxpayer dollars for absolutely nothing. The subs were never good enough and France has ripped us off in every way.
Two wankers
