Sky News host Peta Credlin has slammed the Albanese government for “contradicting itself” and “letting down our allies” after they rejected a request to donate retired helicopters to Ukraine.
Ukraine is pleading with the Australian government to donate its fleet of retired Taipan helicopters instead of dismantling and burying them.
It was revealed on Thursday morning that Defence Minister Richard Marles was yet to respond to a request from the Ukrainians which came more than a month ago.
Acting Defence Minister Pat Conroy formally rejected the request this afternoon.
“Yet again, the Albanese government seems to be contradicting itself and letting down our allies when it comes to defence and foreign policy,” Ms Credlin said.
“It’s worth keeping in mind that this really is not a huge ask given these helicopters are grounded – we’re not using them – they’re going to be chopped up by our military and disposed of.
“[Mr Conroy’s remarks are] a blatant mischaracterisation of the situation – they are asking us for assistance.”

Ukraine is not our allie
Vz is a corrupt puppet
This mob are out of their depth in a carpark puddle
What a laod of warmongering garbage from a person without any credible information at all.
All she has is irrational and fact-less opinions and views…and they aren't news.
News is objectively verified facts; not opinion, views, nor beliefs.
Sky; Raving Loons and Goons.
IMO Albo is a flat out Satanist.
Albo might just not make it to the next election as leader.
Mister Magoo strikes again
We have helped them enough, we sent apc vehicles , trainers etc, the taipan helos we have mothballed are to be sold not given away.. Idiots in oz coplaining about the economy, but they want us to give away billions, and take them over aewell,, Credlin is talking rubbish as usual, as for useing them to evacuate soldiers ,BS, they will turn them into gunships, then crash , then they will blame us
Well done Prime Minister!
Australia 1st, not US endless bloody un-winable wars and their satellite corrupt dictatorships.
hey Elmer. our navy and airforce should shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sister in the Red Sea. stop being a bolshevick a marxist stop donating millions to Hamas and the Houtis.
The Ukrainians would be happy with a tin can and a motor on it to save lives, FFS,! What the hell are our politicians doing???.. People are dying because of our government's incompetence.
The war is over…get over it
Our government does not represent the people. Get them out before they destroy this country!
The salvage cost returns on the Taipans are negligible. The Ukranians already know the history of the aircraft and still want them. Shipping them through the Red Sea might be a different issue.
Just idiots.losers.they flying in 15 countrys ,dont you think they are still good machines.we must idiots their as well ,they picked them…. just idiots
This is what happens when you elect weak men into leadership roles
This government will be remembered for making donations worldwide while many Australians suffer economic problems.
I’m honestly not surprised on what Albo and the communist party in this country are doing. All their decisions are based on keeping socialists, terror organisations and their overlords in Russia and China happy and little else. I know the coalition especially under ScoMo and Turdbull were just as bigger traitors to not only Australia and the Aussie people but this arse clown and his idiot mates in the Federal Government are really sinking to ever increasing new lows all the time. We really need to wake up before idiots like Albo destroy our democracy and our relationships with the free world.
We need to send Ukraine our helicopters jam packed with rainbow flags, same sex marriage certificates, drag queen story books, anti-racism brochures, trans-sexual pride leaflets and climate doom booklets just to remind them they're fighting for Democracy. 🤣
Albo and his government are all liers anybody who supports this bent government should be ashamed of themselves are they doing it tough No you are get a life and vote them OUT
Its embarrassing 🤡
This treasnous government has let us down yet again and DISGRACED us by stabbing our allies in the back instead of helping them.
Bonkers!
Not safe? They are in a war, and of course it won’t be safe using them. They will have ROCKETS trying to destroy them.
The aircraft are deemed end of life & to be scrapped.End of story.
SKYs sister company, FoX did everything it could to support Russia against Ukraine. Dont tell us now that SKY is a huge ukraine supporter.
Albo is a big failure
Shame Labor shame
the war in ukraine is over. russia has destroyed NATO & o'biden's war with them. we need to keep our nose out of this farce that has cost the lives of over 700k ukranians & thousands of russians. the US has been at this since 2014 when soros overtook the govt of ukraine with the assistance of the US govt. WAKE UP PEOPLE the globalists want war with russia.
Albanese has not only let down Australia's political and military allies, he's also let down Australians.
What a disgusting scum nation. Australia and New Zealand needs to remember they begged the U.S to supply equipment and manpower in WW2 which America also saved this part of the world. Commonwealth nations are useless which the U.S saved many times over and over.
Albaneze is from the socialist left. He's probably got more in common with putin than Zelensky
Pat Conroy has been around Albo to long he has learnt the art of telling porky pie's and trying to pull the wool over our eyes,,
Albo will fly over to Ukraine and give away millions of dollars and free bushmasters but won't give them our old Taipans!!!
This government is absolutely useless,,😢
Ukraine calling Australia, "no one home"…..
Unbelievable, Ukraine is fighting for it's existence, asking us for help, and we're burying these Helicopters. What a joke. Slava Ukraine!
What the Israel boss say We can say no
PM Anthony Albanese is a gay gutless wonder, I do support 1st national people, they supported us in WWII in Darwin, and other locations around Australia 🇦🇺, I love Australian day and we need to remember when the British first came on the 26th of January it was just convicts, no one invaded the land until the red British soldiers until six month s later and it was over certain land disputes, 26th of January was not invasion day, read ur history, Woolworth and Coles r stupid, both first nation people 1st Australian and the royal Australian army made this a great place, we do need to tell Woolworth and Coles wake the beep up, both the Australian government and first nation people, have always worked in gether, our PM needs to get a new boyfriend 😀 😮😅😊
