What was Jacinta's reply?

Is she talking about the US?

Maintain Western sovereign nation states.

Oh the party piece

Europe has no leaders! She is another dreamer

I’m sure Albo took that to heart … Labor used to call Robert Menzies, ‘Pig-Iron Bob’ for selling scrap iron to Japan before WW2. What will they call Albo if the shit hits the fan and China attempts to invade Taiwan.

At least we’d never have a PM who was some weird Pentecostal, and who gave himself half a dozen secret ministries, right? Aussies would see though that bs, right?

What a laugh! Suddenly government overreach is a problem. Boot off.

Authoritarian regimes? She must be talking about controlling Dictators such as DictatorDan aka rubberbulletdan aka putsandinkidsskateparksdan right?.

Unfortunately most democracies sold their souls to neoliberal ideology and are now corrupted by large corporations and elites.....

Too late, preaching to the already dependant in Aus and NZ.

FergusonNews abc730 What a wasted opportunity on abc730 last night where SarahFerguson badgered the super-smart Finnish PM sannamarin with dopey questions about the dancing thing and women-in-politics. We couldn’t believe Sar Sar kept on about such trivial BS. Very cringy❗️

Love it when politicians fortify democracy

'authoritarian regimes'? Like the CCP, USA, UN, WEF, WHO etc... Yes we have...

Make Finland Great Again!

Has she been listening over the fence? Did you have any idea that Russia winning the war would be a bad thing AlboMP? Lucky she came to visit. SannaMarin auspol SatPaper australian abcnews SkyNewsAust InsidersABC insiders

That’s bollocks but do go on

It’s better to be US vasal state than free country and working in the interest of your own people. That’s Sanna Marin democracy

So Trump was right?

COVID showed this all too well, ABC.

near does shall

Very brave, be stronger by hiding behind the US and NATO? ... anyway the US as always will be happy to fight a war on Finnish rather than US soil.

Like the Andrews government?

Removing dependencies on authoritarian regimes... does that mean cutting Victoria from the national electricity grid?

The world is not divided into democracies and authoritarian regimes. It's divided into amoral power centres and, on the other hand, amoral power centres.

Remember when they laughed at Trump for saying the same thing?

Western nations are dependent on authoritarian regimes to provide the fossil fuels they refuse to produce domestically.
