. The last thing Canberra needed was its close ally sending a signal to the region that Australia and New Zealand were not united.
Senior figures in the Morrison government separate Ardern’s public criticisms of Australia over deportations and citizenship revocations from the comments from O’Connor and Mahuta on China. While the leader-to-leader relationship remains warm, there is a growing list of areas where the trans-Tasman relationship is straining.Meanwhile, there are senior figures in the Australian government who question whether the deportation of New Zealand nationals who have been living in Australia for years is worth the blowback.
“It says a lot that Winston held the show together on foreign policy, but he really did to a large extent,” one senior Australian official says.
Gallo_Ways One is friends with China, and the other friends with the US.
Gallo_Ways She knows what a dickhead he is
Gallo_Ways NZ is small and of less strategic significance to US, therefore can exert more unfettered sovereignty. It is behaving as Australia would behave were it not for pressure from US.
Gallo_Ways Because one's a liberal and the other's a Liberal.
Gallo_Ways The hypocrisy of Australian government is amazing
Gallo_Ways Labor and liberals in close proximity are never going to get together because Ardern wants alabenese to win. She is politically motivated. Doesn’t matter as long as we cosy up to China India and us we will be fine
Gallo_Ways Yay for Jacinda and NZ. Probably not right of an article to comes her to this self righteous scum we elected as a PM.
Gallo_Ways Well, two leaders who prefer the photo op and sound bite over action , what did you expect?
Gallo_Ways She is pissed because we keep sending her criminals back.
Gallo_Ways To be fair a person like Scott Morrison would make any reasonable woman bristles. He’s so blokey and patronising. Full of self righteousness . Ardern is no saint but a super intelligent women having to deal with a mediocre male counterpart is very wearing .
Gallo_Ways Jacinda should just stick to governing her country and leave other countries to govern theirs. She should focus on building all those houses she promised and how she will pay back China for the belt road infrastructure
Gallo_Ways It is a fundamental clash in values.
Gallo_Ways we really need Jacinda Ardern to being a take over of our country. enough of the queue jumper - get rid of the rapist protector
Gallo_Ways Who’s Australian had the New Zealand Prime Minister as our leader 😥
Gallo_Ways Morrison is a dill and can't stand a woman besting him.
Gallo_Ways We think we need them, but they know they don’t need us. Time to stop kidding ourselves and tell them to fuck off more often.
Gallo_Ways It's obvious - ScottyFromMarketing doesn't like being challenged by a woman. Just AskJen
Gallo_Ways Is it truly frostiness or just repulsion now she’s got to know him better? I suspect she’s scratched beneath the surface, and only found more surface Maybe she’s just tired of looking at his stupid face while he mouths untruths, or is frozen in horror at his misogyny Relatable
Gallo_Ways Is it because he asked her to put on a lamb roast & let the men sort out the world’s problems? Maybe he was mansplaining “how to diplomacy” and she got Sara Cooper to Tik Tok a performance of it?
Gallo_Ways It seems NZ hasn't been behaving like our friend for some time. The recent disgraceful betrayal of a supposed ally by the NZ Trade Minister were a new low. Are we really supposed to believe he is that diplomatically naive?
Gallo_Ways Fake News
Gallo_Ways our narcicist prime minister?
Gallo_Ways It's been obvious for some time that New Zealand is no friend to Australia. The recent disgraceful betrayal of a supposed ally by the New Zealand Trade Minister with comments straight from the CCP script is absolute proof of that. Can they be trusted in the 5 Eyes?
Gallo_Ways N.z..we will always be friends no matter who your leader os.
Gallo_Ways Is it that Morrison is a dick?
Gallo_Ways They have a real leader, we have a leader of mob ScottyTheRapistProtector MeToo
Gallo_Ways Morrison’s misogyny
Gallo_Ways Mmhhh, on the one hand, you have the best PM on the planet in NZ, and on the other hand, you have Scumo.
Gallo_Ways Morrison
