This is immensely entertaining as the former PM exposes the embarrassing veneer of strategic thinking behind Albo’s AUKUS idiots:

Of course, Mr Keating! My only objection to your reasoning is that you see China as no threat to Australia. That is beyond myopic given the last five years of wolf warrior assaults.
AUKUS is a bribe to the US. That is all that it is. It does virtually nothing to directly protect Australia and surrenders strategic sovereignty while we are at it.
But it will deepen US commitment to protecting Australia at the margin as we are transformed into the “tip of the spear”, as Steven Bannon put it, for the China wars.
Ironically, when the time comes, this will not mean protecting our own sea routes, it will mean that the nuclear boats will be used to blockade them!
Richard Marles and Albo’s idiots appear to have no idea what they have done.
To be clear, I’m all for it. The sooner the better. If only we could get around certain enemies of Aussie freedom:
Some of Australia’s biggest names in business are powering up the corporate jets and dusting off the burner phones this weekend as they prepare to return to China for the first time in years.
Fortescue Metals founder Andrew Forrest, Rio Tinto boss Jakob Stausholm and BHP chief executive Mike Henry will join dozens of corporate titans from around the world in Beijing this weekend for what has been dubbed Xi Jinping’s version of Davos.
