The Prime Minister of Australia is asleep at the wheel—and the enemies of this country are wide awake. Russia is reportedly negotiating to build a military base in Indonesia, just 1,300 kilometres from Darwin. A hostile power, building up in our neighbourhood. What’s Anthony Albanese’s response? He won’t even brief the Opposition. He shrugs it off. Denies there’s a threat.
This isn’t just reckless—it’s dangerous.
At the same time, a fleet of Chinese warships just circled Australia, launching live-fire drills off our coast. Commercial planes had to be re-routed. Our military was caught flat-footed. And again, where was Albo? Too busy chasing net zero dreams.
This is a man who defended a Canadian shop’s right to sell Vegemite more fiercely than he’s defended Australia’s borders. That’s not a joke. He literally went to war with Canadian customs over a breakfast spread, but can’t muster the courage to confront growing threats on our doorstep.
We have foreign powers testing our defences. Mocking our sovereignty. And Albanese’s biggest priority is pleasing the global climate lobby. We don’t have a foreign policy under this government—we have a public relations department.
And the world sees it. Beijing knows it. Moscow knows it. They’ve sized up Anthony Albanese and concluded exactly what many Australians already have: this man is not a leader. He’s a placeholder. A photo op in a suit.
Strong nations don’t wait to be tested—they show strength before the test comes. But under Albanese, we’ve sent the opposite signal: we’re weak, distracted, and too politically correct to call out danger when it’s staring us in the face.
The world is getting darker. And Australia is being led by a man holding a candle in a hurricane.
