People in China seem no more or less a threat, or friend than people in the US, yet we tilt towards continuing a dominance strategy at China’s doorstep.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong and her counterparts from France, the UK, Canada and Norway said: “For too long, violent settlers have been able to act with near impunity.”
Labor’s longest serving foreign minister says the submarine plan is likely to be regarded as one of Australia’s worst foreign policy and defence errors.
