That sound you heard was me screaming loud enough for Cairns to hear.

Kevin Hogan asks:

Given these challenging security arrangements at home and abroad, what steps has the Prime Minister taken to repair our deteriorating relationship with Israel and the United States?

I’m sorry – I didn’t think it was up to Australia to repair a relationship with a state plausibly accused of committing genocide, with documented law crimes, and the ongoing deliberate starvation of a civilian population. What, exactly, is there to be repaired?

And yes, we should jump to ‘repair’ our relationship with America, as it slides further into fascism, tries to dictate terms including SENDING US TO WAR IF IT WANTS while disappearing its own citizens, sending in armed guards against them and uses the world as its own personal Monopoly board.

All jokes aside, what is wrong with the Coalition? How is it in Australia’s interest to be so slavishly devoted to foreign powers?
