The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan has revealed why Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has “no credibility” in Washington.
Mr Sheridan’s remarks come as the Prime Minister visits the United States to meet with President Joe Biden.
“I think he has no credibility in Washington because the Albanese government has decided to do nothing at all on defence,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Caleb Bond.
He said the Albanese government cut the expenditure which was going to be delivered under the Morrison government’s forward estimates.
“It has just released the most shockingly embarrassing Defence Department annual report, which showed that it didn’t even spend six or seven hundred million dollars of its allocated budget because all the programs are in such a state of paralysis.
“Now Albanese in opposition said he was going to urgently fix a decade of neglect in Australian defence; I think he’s right about the decade of neglect … but Albanese has been worse and he has no credibility in Washington because of that.”

Cannot for the life of me believe he has not resigned yet.
He is a grub with no pride.
Tweedle Dee (Biden) and Tweedle Dumb (Albanese)…. the 2 most incompetent, grovelling, weak politicians in Western History…. but Trudeau might be in the run? haha
What do you what from a CLOWN running this country
Which president is the difference a senile puppet is of no value to people in Australia
No Nuclear power but nuclear submarines ok
What a joke
So, Chyna Darwin port stays, Wine tariffs come off. Yes master Xi, anything you say. What else is Elblo selling out behind our backs.
Albo is a deadset moron, how anyone can vote for this idiot is beyond comprehension, the voice failed so he pissis off overseas.
So, Looks like a One Nation – KAP coalition for next government.
We can't make anything if we don't have money. It's more important to run referendums and cancel projects that cost billions than it is to protect our country from dictatorships. We can't even make our own gun powder and have to import it from the US, we are a joke. Honestly, we don't deserve the right to purchase top grade defence weapons, our incompetent governments are too busy wasting money on stupid woke ideals.
Albanese has no credibility, but then again no one else in the Federal Labor Party has any credibility either.
I don't know but it was mentioned on a documentary when he came to.power.What are you so aggressive .His mother had debilitating arthritis, where there were times she was unable to walk up the stairs to their flat.I hope people are more compassionate of you when you age or become disabled.I do not understand your callous attitude. Pray you don't age or become sick or injured.
AnAl and Biden together are like a couple of little old men sitting together in a nursing home somewhere talking about the good old days.
How can it happen that we get such and incompetent person like Anthony Albanese as Prime Minister. I really wish he would stay out of the country permanently.
the people of Australia deserve everything that the new government has done!
It's not about Albanese having no creditability it's saying we have no creditability as a country. I would like to say this country. deserves everything thats happening!
Worst PM ever.
James Paterson seems to be the only politician who is across Australia’s security.
As for the Chinese, they are in economic and demographic decline, aren’t they?
At any rate, Australia needs to turn its attention to trade diversification..
We can’t rely on China.
As for Albanese, he is not a statesman.
Our role in AUKUS, is to be the pesky little sibling who’s aloud to tag along, but who gets treated like dirt.
I the event of a war over Taiwan, it’ll be Australia who’ll get dragged into the conflict, whole big siblings the UK and the US stay in relative safety.
Unfortunately, the US are absolute war hawks at the moment. They seem determined to go to war with about half the damned world!
Albo is a hell of a lot better than Scumbo who couldn’t run a chook raffle oh hang on he took on how many ministry roles 😂
Can’t even watch this it’s just all so embarrassing.
All a smoke Screen.. They love China..
We need to stop spouses/partners or whatever they claim to be, from all sides of politics, from jumping on the gravy train and getting free trips.
Been handing out masses of food parcels to families and others who can't afford food or pay their rent. Seriously heartbreaking. It's terrible. Makes me very sad. Australia 2023!
Albanese and the dumb girlfriend.. what an embarrassment.. albanese is NO LEADER!! Lets go abanese.
Marles is a self serving grot!! Theiving lying turd.
Where is your unbiasedness? The US ALSO is holding an australian citizen hostage, albeit in Belmarsh prison in Britain and is frantically trying to have him extradited so they can lock him away in Gitmo forever!!! FREE JULIAN ASSANGE!
How can the UK and US take Elbo Fudd seriously. We dont.
What a load of crap, how do they get away with presenting this BS. Its easy to prove its lies. But did the Morrison government plan on taking our debt to 1.5 trillion, was that their plan. Albanese in in thr states to secure further AUKUS ties and in case you hadn't noticed upgrade our cyber security.
He is the Elmer Fudd of Australian and world politics, what a joke!
The worst government, prime minister and defence minister since federation.
Puppet Australia has no credibility at all to America . Just do what the boss told .😮
Such a pair of absolute Clowns in the form of Albo and the Fool Biden – God help us all.
Albo is a pissant, controlled by unions and back room wankers, a little puppet of the big boys.
I dont know the exact numbers but on WW2 Australia had control of the town of Rubel on northern mew Guinea we had about 1000 soldiers to defend the town
How rediculeous when they had about 20000 japs.when they talk about how we cant even get a full battalion together it reminds you of that
What a load of thinly veiled BS! Most Australians confirmed Albanese’s incompetence as our Prime Minister in a recent failed constitutional referendum. Stop the grandstanding with this criminal, get your arse back home and start addressing the domestic issues your election campaign ran on and was elected to resolve.
Albow & Sleepy Joe partners in crime.
Inmates for a rest home..

Australia's shame😏 , we're represented on the biggest stage in the world USA by 2 of the most insipid pissant's, Albanese & Rudd, that were ever hatched .
