Penmeister is upset:
Penny Wong has sent a clear message to China that Paul Keating has no influence over government policy ahead of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s meeting with the pro-Beijing former prime minister.
In her first comment on Mr Wang’s scheduled audience with Mr Keating on Thursday, Senator Wong told The Australian: “Mr Keating is entitled to his views. He does not speak for the government nor the country.”
Well, yeah, except Xiting does speak for the government, though certainly not for the country.
Since coming to power, Albo the Groveller has done nothing but crawl to Beijing in a thoroughly Keating manner.
- Instead of diversifying exports like everybody else, Albo has concentrated it in China.
- Instead of repatriating supply chains, Albo has concentrated them in China.
- Instead of building our military capability, he has hidden behind a shaky AUKUS.
- Instead of continuing the cleansing of clandestine Chinese influence in our parliaments, he has invited it back in.
- Instead of bringing sanitising sunshine to all transactions, he has buried them in yesteryear’s corrupt darkness.
- Instead of spending time at the G7 coordinating the China pushback a’la ScoMo, he goes to Beijing on his knees.
- Instead of saying “China” when we mean “China”, he has issued a fatwa against using the name.
- Instead of banning WeChat or TikTok, he appears on them.
Why is Wang Yi here at all, Penmeister? He is here because Albo and Paul are of one mind, on their knees.
Perhaps worst of all. Keating also these days speaks for phony hardman Peter Dutton, who is so afraid of the half dozen ethnic Chinese-dominated electorates that he’s almost as prostrate a Labor.
