“It should spark a national conversation about the standards we will accept, how we want to see ourselves, be seen in the world, and particularly what we want our next generation of Aussies, in all of our beautiful diversity, to understand as our value set,” he said.
“No Australian could possibly support what we have seen.”
Okay Foster, talkin ya book a little too hard here mate. If this is the stance we should take with the British then we’d better tear up the ANZUS treaty as well, because the US is up to its sweaty sweaty armpits with Epstein.
I don’t know what Foster would say to that, but i doubt he has thought through equal application of his call for ‘national morality’ as he has jump at the opportunity to call for a Republic.
I think you missed his point. He was talking about the monarchy which is a relationship between a nation and a particular set of individuals.
The relationship between two nations is different. Ideally it shouldn’t depend at all on who leads those nations but in practice it’s affected a lot. But I think it’s not wise for a leader to let their personal feelings about the leader of another country affect diplomacy. That’s Trump’s folly.
I say all this without a dog in the race, as a Canadian who likes Australians. I think Canada should work on improving relations with Australia and build a stronger partnership for mutual benefit.
