Government slammed over foreign policy to make Australia a “deliberate small target” in Red Sea support debacle, Strategic Analysis Australia Director Michael Shoebridge says.
“I also think the government foreign policy is to be a deliberate small target,” Mr Shoebridge told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“To pretend that just by focussing on our local area, South East Asia and the South Pacific somehow the rest of the world and its problems won’t crowd in on us.
“But why are petrol prices going to go up at Christmas?
“Why are food and energy prices already high? Because of the war in Ukraine, and now because of the threat to Red Sea oil transport.”

Albo wants sex change operations covered by Medicare too, an absolute stooge for a being, let alone a supposed leader
Why aren't other countries sending one of theirs?
Why is it when America says jump Australia always asks how high?
Labor Love a Terrorist never defense
Alborigine doesn't want to hurt Ping Pong's feelings, simple.
All I have for Albanese, Wong is disrespect, H atred, This Government both Labour and The Greens have and will continue to destroy our Country Australia. Albanese and Daniel Andrews must be held accountable for the destruction of our State Victoria and for our country Australia.
Weak as 💩 = Albanese, Wong, Labour and the Greens. We Australian's born n bred, Those who do not support Israel must be deported. Are you having Christmas this year Victorian's? Australian's? No we can't afford it thanks to these Politicians.
You cannot have a smaller target than a white flag .
This government needs to be removed. It is, and will never be anything but, illegitimate and corrupt.
Oh! we must spend money on the Voice, 9 year late 3 subs. That is much more important than protecting our shores. Oh, the Libs are responsible as well. Australia has has a poor Gov on both sides for years
No, that's not it.
And that's not because I like anthony, I might not lol
The issue is that I said no.
If this is Ukrains' fault, all this is happening because of the war y 3:13 you people started in Ukrain.
How can we expect the US to come to our aid, when we don't go to theirs?
Some things should never be said but yet the first minute proves why some countries will never win in anything.
Lead time to increase a fleet of ships & refit what we have?
Politicians will only look after their own interests, nothing else
Labor busy travelling CB touring the world they dont CARE
As an ex navy vet, I ave never been so ashamed of our govt. This would be the first time since ANZUS was signed that we have refused a formal request from the US.
We need Alan Jones as PM, Chris Smith as minister for Women and James Ashby as first lady.
"A country gets the politicians it deserves" has never been more relevant – the mindless over privileged mainly city dwellers are totally oblivious to the damage their lefty /greeny thinking is doing to all levels of Australian business, life and foreign policy. Our defence forces are unnecessary in the minds of the majority, and Albos' government, because its easier to give everything away and become a nation of peasants ruled by an "elite"
No balls.
Airbus is a joke
No news of Albo coming to North QLD to visit the devastation.
Looks like several governments have not maintained our military capacity.
Plenty of cash to waste on voice referendums and other woke agendas while the defence hardware rots. Head in the sand now with Labor. We’re screwed and the world knows it.
Under no circumstances would we go to war with China. As a national we can't punch our way out of a paper bag militarily. We can't talk tough unless we can back it up, which we can not
What crises? False outrage. There simply are no crises. Just time for some serious government. That's all. The last lot left a complete mess whether we talk about climate change, the navy, the debt, the growing inflation, the mean and nasty, the immigration door and so on. Righties always the same, say one thing, get the opposite.
We all know that Albernese is a chicken little. We also know that the labour government is anti Isreali, thanks to the woke ABC which it caves in to. Also woke ministers like Penny Wong. So instead of naval vessels,the idiots waste money on useless windfarms and acres of dumb solar panels. Or is it's alright mate. The Yanks will protect us against China!
labo keeps cutting our military funding we are dead in the water great govermment.
Albo is aweak woke spinless a leader he is not australia ha
S to do better
They are weak, Labor needs to go.
We do have 130 tungsten tipped boomerangs
Surely he and his girlfriend are due to fly overseas again?
The PM of PR & BS, alongside the W1 [Wong One] are following the socialism ticket as part of the Labor/Greens-Teals collective set of dreaming out of control misfits installed since election night. Track record, NO answers, NO plan [but socialism], NO credibility, NO substance, NO backbone, NO IDEA. >>> Do you realise by now they don't care what you think or want ? Socialism, the art of deceit.
Our naval ships probably would not get to the Red Sea without breaking down.
The LNP had nine years in power to get our defence to level it needs to be to be effective internationally but they failed. And Howard had 13 years before that. scummo also wanted to declare war on China, so embarrassing. labor have Only inherited The LNP failings, so you need to look in your own back yard of glass houses before yo throw stones, sky news biased news reporters.
This Labor/Greens Govt is weak and clueless..a bunch of left wing ex Uni activists running a country..what a bloody mess everywhere you look..
How many Labor voters and Green Voters will Vote for the LNP ? Unfortunately no matter how much Labor messes up. People can't see through the bull dust and see they Labor and Greens have no substance! Greens have done everything to show they are NOT green at all! They are just the worsed of labor Ausralians can't see, Teals = Labor. Greens = Labor. Single Independents = Labor. Jackie Lambie ?? She has really bent over to Labor . Why? to save herself Not Australia!
Australia ….. Stop the whining ! Do something for Change and put these Labor Party FOOLS OUT! and DON"T VOTE for single indepaendants or the Teals !! One Nation has a good recorded of speaking up for Australia ! If ypou don't want to vote for the LNP! Vote ONE NATION ! This is about our Children and the futures of our Australia peoples combined..
But lets make it very Clear who ever gets in next had better shape this nation up ready to build…. infrastructure.. Time to put sports arena's on the back plate. Money needs are for the NATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE! Also our defence.. We need to build it here where possible. I'm talking NEW deffence systems..
We aso need to be aware we have spies in the country. Time to get real on security of THIS NATION! NO MORE ILLEGAL MIGRANTS . SHIP THEM OUT AND DROP THEM BY HELLICOPTER BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM..
THIS NATION NEEDS TO STOP THINK WE ARE SO GREAT! WE ARE NOT ! WAKE UP WE ARE IN A SHITTY POSITION. GET ILLEAGALS OUT. CHINA IS THREATENING THE CHINA SEAS AND THE PACIFIC, AND MORE OPENLY. THIS IS VERY, VERY SERIOUS. WHILE LABOR AND THE UNIONS ARE MESSING AROUND WITH AUSTRALIANS . THE NATION AND THEM ARE IN JEPARDY. THEY ARE JUST TOO STUPID TO SEE IT !
No time for Albanese , but this is definitely his best desision , we don't need to get involved !
Elmer Fudd sure is trying … sowwy, twy-ing as he would undoubtedly pwo-nounch it.
Albo, you're going to make history, mate. As the weakest 'prime minister' in our bloody history. So instead of OUR dollars being spent on your damned salaries, start looking at our defense??
He's definitely small 👌
Albanese is a ridiculous joke
He's destroyed the labor party forever in this country , the more they keep going down this ridiculous woke path the more Labor destroy themselves
Handsome Boy will get a serious groping from his overlords.
Weakness, god dam coward
