Recall that Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese delivered a speech late last month to the UK Labour Party conference, whereby he vowed to “defend democracy itself” alongside “my mate”, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
Albanese said he shared a “determination” with the UK leader and an “absolute resolve to stand together and defend democracy itself”.
“We all know this is a time when trust in governments and institutions is under challenge”, he said.
