Albo’s China pivot is going to go down as one of the craziest moments in the history of liberal democracy.
After Australia illustrated to the world that Beijing is a radically unreliable trade partner, capable of capricious and arbitrary sanctions, Albo was elected and immediately pushed Australia’s head back into the same economic noose.
Labor is busy restoring the China trade dependence with premier-level missions from VIC, QLD, WA, and, later this year, Albo himself, to celebrate 50 years since the infamous Gough Whitlam tour.
