Ms Marin praised Australia's military equipment contributions to Ukraine, and said it was critical that the war was settled on Ukraine's terms.
What was Jacinta's reply?
Is she talking about the US?
Maintain Western sovereign nation states.
Oh the party piece
Europe has no leaders! She is another dreamer
I’m sure Albo took that to heart … Labor used to call Robert Menzies, ‘Pig-Iron Bob’ for selling scrap iron to Japan before WW2. What will they call Albo if the shit hits the fan and China attempts to invade Taiwan.
At least we’d never have a PM who was some weird Pentecostal, and who gave himself half a dozen secret ministries, right? Aussies would see though that bs, right?
What a laugh! Suddenly government overreach is a problem. Boot off.
Authoritarian regimes? She must be talking about controlling Dictators such as DictatorDan aka rubberbulletdan aka putsandinkidsskateparksdan right?.
Unfortunately most democracies sold their souls to neoliberal ideology and are now corrupted by large corporations and elites.....
Too late, preaching to the already dependant in Aus and NZ.

Very brave, be stronger by hiding behind the US and NATO? ... anyway the US as always will be happy to fight a war on Finnish rather than US soil.
Like the Andrews government?
Removing dependencies on authoritarian regimes... does that mean cutting Victoria from the national electricity grid?
The world is not divided into democracies and authoritarian regimes. It's divided into amoral power centres and, on the other hand, amoral power centres.
Remember when they laughed at Trump for saying the same thing?
Western nations are dependent on authoritarian regimes to provide the fossil fuels they refuse to produce domestically.
