Recalled French ambassador accuses Australia of ‘treason in the making’

France’s recalled ambassador to Australia has likened Canberra’s actions to treason after the Morrison government dumped a $90 billion submarine contract with Paris and instead decided to build nuclear-powered submarines with the United States and Britain., as the fallout grows from a new defence pact that has infuriated French President Emmanuel Macron.

He slammed Australia for allowing a meeting to go ahead between Mr Dutton and Foreign Minister Marise Payne late last month with their French counterparts where they spoke about enhancing defence ties between the two countries. Mr Thebault, the French ambassador to Australia, and Philippe Etienne, the ambassador to the US, will return for “consultations”.

“Now Australia has decided to turn its back on this. OK, at least in terms of decency [it] would have justified prior substantial, not only warning, but discussion. That never was initiated, that never took place,” he said.

Gallo_Ways What a bozo, his accusations are laughable reminiscent of an episode of Allo Allo 😂

Gallo_Ways Shoddy behaviour yes, Scott is definitely useless, but let's not forget France blew up a ship in an allys harbour.

Gallo_Ways Rainbow warrior sunk in NZ and French nuclear tests in pacific treason also ?

Gallo_Ways Kevin Sir join politics again even as independent as Aus needs you because we have super incompetent PM now. he 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?even Albanese!

Gallo_Ways Can't be treason since you are not our country.

Gallo_Ways Say what you like but don’t impose sanctions on my weekend croissant feed.

Gallo_Ways

Gallo_Ways Maybe treason is too strong, but betrayal and not honouring a business contract and Australia will have to live the ramifications of that decision

Gallo_Ways The French Know treason is part of their Business. Remember French Atomic testing in the Pacific in the past and bombing the Rainbow warrior in NZ

Gallo_Ways Crocodile tears

Gallo_Ways Delusional

Gallo_Ways Translation: French throw tanty because they thought they had Australia over a barrel with a contract in which they had 5 years to sort their shit out on but they still couldn’t be bothered

Gallo_Ways This is more than a storm in a tea cup.

Gallo_Ways The French were screwing us with their fantasy subs. Pushing out the delivery date and putting up the price. We must seek compensation from them, as they would be out of date white elephants. We can always ban French products from Australia, if they do not come to the party.

Gallo_Ways For reducing our life expectancy with you Pacific nuclear bombs, we finally find an avenue fir retribution.

Gallo_Ways What’s the $ penalty for cancelling the contract?

Gallo_Ways Please explain why Naval Group was not doing their job, and requesting delays and additional contract sum. Fair?

Gallo_Ways Treason? Over a purchase of a tool? Seriously, is this the way they treat their clients? talk about having a sook! France

Gallo_Ways I accuse the french on treason against Australian for their gestapo un tactics.

Gallo_Ways Nice after we helped save their French asses at the expense of thousands of Aussie soldiers lives 10,000 miles from home. Twice.

Gallo_Ways What was Morrison doing in Paris a month ago? Outlining problems with the French failures in the contract or ....drinking wine and having coffee and croissants?

Gallo_Ways $40 Billion is treason NOthing more important between allies or friends than cash money This is the same france that built 2 carriers for russia than decided to not deliver them,

Gallo_Ways France better looked at its own performance before barking. Late delivery and cost keep going up

Gallo_Ways The contract price raised from $36.5B to $66B, who breached the contract at first?

Gallo_Ways Doesn’t seem the actual cancellation of the contract was the main pain point more so the deceptive misleading way it was done that p…d the French off.

Gallo_Ways The warmongering pollies and media had stabbed allies in the back, had the nation bound up with avaricious arms merchants, scared and alerted its neighbours, completely further estranged its biggest trading partner, such a gorgeous fulfilment.

Gallo_Ways Think pm should have personally called president instead of hearing this in media. Pm I'll mannered.. Scotland will be raising tariffs on oz. Watch this space

Gallo_Ways That’s a bit emotive?

Gallo_Ways Treason ? You mean like setting of a nuclear bomb in the South Pacific? Or maybe you mean sinking the Rainbow warrior in Auckland Harbour? Kiwis died liberating France in 2 world wars they then threatened NZ when they caught the perps. That’s treason.

Gallo_Ways The west getting their knickers in a twist over the approach to a nonexistent threat.😂😂😂🇨🇳

Gallo_Ways WHAT 😂 ? France PRESIDENT President E MACRON TeLLs Accuse AUSTRALIA Govt. Scott MORISON MP Prime Minister Equivalent **to TREASON Check Oxford Dictionary ! This happened During War 2 FRENCH**Executed Head French REVOLUTION History HITLER ..**Executed MANY SHARE French 🌹

Gallo_Ways Treason WTF. The idiot French think Australian and France share the same sovereignty. We didn't sell out to the EU France. Not to mention giving in the Germany twice. SkyNewsAust RitaPanahi

Gallo_Ways That’s easy, for comments like that he can stay out for a while

Gallo_Ways Huh! Grow up! Get over it and move on. France , your submarine plan was too slow, too expensive, too noisy and less superior

Gallo_Ways What an unhappy little Rainbow Warrior he is.

Gallo_Ways Would the French expect Australia to defend Noumea if ever the island was under attack?

Gallo_Ways It was a crappy govt run French program that had already failed on time and money. We have every right to throw them out. Remember when they blew up nukes in our neighbourhood? Why did we even choose them?

Gallo_Ways Well they're not giving up easily on this one

Gallo_Ways 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.

Gallo_Ways French retreating who would have thought

Gallo_Ways Enjoy the plane ride home, Jean-Pierre. 😂

Gallo_Ways Coming to save their arses in two World Wars didn’t count. What have the French ever done for us?

Gallo_Ways So how many French gave their life for Australia compare to how many Australians gave their life for France!?!?!? justsaying

Gallo_Ways Do some research. Way back in January the financial daily Les Echos was reporting that the deal was in “turbulent waters”. Le Figaro was saying the Australians had lost confidence in France's ability to deliver the subs.

Gallo_Ways 'Treason!'.. Le goose.

Gallo_Ways The Anglo brotherhood from their Traditional Land in the UK to America to Australia is still strong despite Morrison & Biden being bred on MY land. The French have always been losers to the Anglos-Napoleon anyone?

Gallo_Ways 'Intentionally misleading'...? Now that doesn't sound like anything our Prime Minister would do, does it.

Gallo_Ways Treason: the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance

Gallo_Ways good job scomo

Gallo_Ways If they did what they agreed to about local content etc the contract might not have been cancelled

Gallo_Ways Like France has never cancelled a government contract. Auspol

'A stab in the back': French anger with Australia over cancelled submarine dealFrance's Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian lashes out at Australia's decision to cancel a $90 billion submarine deal, saying that 'trust has been broken'. Every 6 months the French were over budget, & then asking for a further 2 year extension. Sure . Viva La France ! What are they complaining about? The French were not fulfilling their side of the deal. Australia is perfectly justified in cancelling. Interesting that the party that can’t deliver the promised product unless the party buying it settles for it being late and much more expensive than agreed is the one acting all hurty feels and talking about a betrayal.
