at the start of her visit, she opened a Pandora’s box, and the media would not let her shut it again.was about how Britain and Australia can work together in the Indo-Pacific, and why Britain has a role to play on the far side of the world.
And she was seeking to challenge the ploy that China likes to use against Britain, and by extension AUKUS, which is to remind its neighbours of the UK’s overbearing, colonial past, and suggest that London’s latest forays are the same old antics in new clothing. Sharing a stage with Wong after her speech, junior UK Foreign Minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan betrayed an inkling of this.She said the nuclear submarines that Canberra would get under the AUKUS deal would let Australia “manage” the Indo-Pacific. She likened the subs’ mission to England’s 16th-century navy, harrying pirates and keeping trade routes open., said the Asia-Pacific should not be used as a “chessboard for geopolitical contests”.
Stick to finance. You're not much on history and politics.
Her dress sense right.!!! those pants suits, and in Paris ? Australian designers must have died of shame.
Perhaps she should stop with the ridiculous virtue signalling and try looking forward🤔

Penny Wong’s address in London was ‘rude’ and ‘self-indulgent’Sky News host James Macpherson says it was “rude and self-indulgent” of Foreign Minister Penny Wong to talk about Britain's past during her public address in London. “If Penny Wong has issues about her past, she should deal with those privately, but the national stage is not a stage for her to deal with her own personal issues – she is representing the country,” he said. “It is wrong because regurgitating Britain’s past does nothing to equip us to deal with the present challenge of an aggressive China.” OH so we cannot bring enlightenment to historical facts now... can you say 1984? Is she going to ask the China who failed her ancestors, the China they fled for an apology? Well London is now a no go foreign controlled city
