What began as a show of short-term force has now evolved into a test of long-term endurance, and history has shown that these are not the types of conflicts where America prevails.
When they start reeling out the obvious obfuscation in Parliament on a regular basis, and not standing up for at least some principle – even just the one would be good – it’s time for them to go. Albanese in Parliament for 30 years, Wong for 24, Marles for 19.
I wonder how much longer Labor will be willing to keep the abysmal Albo/Marles/Wong millstone around the neck of the government. Marles being ineffectual was always going to be the case, but the other two were expected to do better.
Curiously, Andrew Hastie seems to be the only politician of reasonable influence who is calling out Trump’s remarks as they are—petulant—and has specifically called out that, because of Trump, and exacerbated quickly by this war, Australians are losing faith in the American alliance, and that the energy supply issues that we are currently facing, and the consequent inflation, are entirely Trump’s fault. The government, meanwhile, as this article outlines, has said nothing of substance.
I've noticed that about Andrew Hastie too.... I wonder if he's playing a long game, notices the way the political breeze is blowing, similar to Marjorie Taylor Green and Tucker Carlson in the US. As we get more frustrated with Labor kowtowing to Trump, I think Hastie sees a way he could perhaps resuscitate the Liberals....
We live in a strange world when Hastie says they won’t get any rewards for taking the last stand on neoliberalism, yet the Labor government keeps pushing it.

Correct 💯💯💯 Marles , particularly , is a waste of space .
Well said , on Albanese’s catalogue of errors of judgement since becoming Prime Minister . In contrast to John Howard,
“The Times do Not suit him “ . He does not do well at the Sharp End . We are ill served by his failures of leadership .
