This is pathetic and harmful behaviour by the Australian government

With regards to the proxy war being waged by NATO against Russia, what Australia needs to understand is that the vast majority of the world sees the situation clearly and is basically on Russia's side. (Yes, this may be a shock to the person who has only been imbibing propaganda about the war but you will quickly find out it's the truth if you talk to any person from Latin America, Africa, Indonesia, the Middle East, China, etc etc about the matter).

So Australia just reinforces its perception of being a pathetic vassal state with this move, given to abjectly craven political stunts like this one. Shame on Albanese and shame on his government. This won't be forgotten and will cost Australia in diplomatic prestige (such as we still command).

Yeah, I'm considering this a rule #1 violation. You're being a dick. Take it as your first warning.

I most certainly won't take it as a warning.

This :

You’re being a dick

shows you can't even respond civilly to users in this forum. You should mark up a warning against yourself.
