Former Labor MP Michael Danby says it is “pathetic” that Australia can’t send a warship to the Red Sea to protect the American fleet.
Mr Danby told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus that it will be “noticed in Washington”.
“And I’m afraid it will be noticed … by Donald Trump and his advisors who might double the price of the nuclear submarines to Australia or say ‘we’re not going to deliver them at all’.
“I think Trump is going to be elected, and he was pretty tough with NATO.
“I hope Albo and Kevin Rudd should be giving him some better advice as to get on his good side.”

Albanese's "clear message" to the Houthi has the impact of a snowflake on a hotplate.
Albanese reminds me of Mr Magoo.
As if any government overseas takes him seriously.
Thats nothing Sky. Just wait when/if Chump takes over again. Say goodbye to the sub deal and any military partnership with the US. He does not give a stuff about Australia
We don't need to be Americas bitch 24/7 Fox… I mean SKY news.
Dumbest PM we have ever had, not a leaders backside.
Tragerdy
Hearless dictators
I think Australia increased its troop commitment from 5 to 16. That should do it.
Aussies not supporting zionists? It's anti-semitic!
Australia is nothing in the world. Get real.
Thanks Skyslut cave. China Evergreen cargo ship sail straight thru red Sea so is Russian ships
we condem the houties from their terrorist activities but we won't send a naval boat to help,,, really Albo you wimp !!
I feel very sorry for our military personnel serving this country to have Albo as commander in chief of armed forces,,, how embarrassing well done handsome boy,,😢
The voters' of Australia have spoken with the election of the PM. Australia is now aligned with China for either good or bad. America needs to step-back from Australia as well as many other countries and do what needs to be done at home first. I do believe that this decision not to assist in stopping these maritime attacks was made for the Australian people by China. Perhaps next a decision not to… may be dictated by… I speak to Australians living in America and they tell me this, Australia is now…, not good in their perspective! 😮
Why send a ship if they are trying to grow organically? Flog out the troops. Get off it sky news. The Navy will be ready for China. Don’t need to send ships all the way up there to blow up speed boats. Other countries are much closer logistically. Morons
Good no warship, this Globalist Cabal Washington deep state Regime has an 11 month expiry date! The Canberra midget wont be far behind it!
Trump 2024 🎉
One can ony hope there is a time we don't have to make news stories worried with 'noticed in Washington', but that time is not now. I agree we should have sent a ship, but the United States is, currently, neither a lucid nor credible country is it?
Albonobo wants to send a solar powered Green peace vessel full of just stop oil protesters fresh of an intersection tarmac to the Red Sea and blockade the Suez Canal
Hoochies? 😂
turkey just blocked access!
Such a sad indictment of this pitiful woke government when their own former Labor representative rips their policies to pieces…..What hope do we have with these communist morons?!!
It is an essential element to belligerent countries that their is a coalition of allies willing to meet an emergency, it is not about enhancing military power it is about telling the worl were are unified, this does NOT send that message..united we stand a chance of extending peace this century………..divided we all burn……..ALBENESE IS WRONG!
AUKUS in action. Albanese should cash up ships for subs. Jo Biden will love the deal… St.Thomas
🇦🇺 Don't get yet. Under Holy Law, you are on the Holy Land, and you will be paying for your trespass Under Holy Laws. I know you are court by surprise, and your Satanist Pyramid is soon to be banished before your eyes. You will learn hard. It's no place to hide or run too outside of the planet you are on… St.Thomas
To all the people that are saying let the United States protect our stuff let them do it they've got a big Navy. When China comes rolling up on Australia and the United States is not answering the phone what you going to do, I will tell you what you will do you will be talking about your new job making iPhones and Nike shoes.
its a religious war, we do not need or dare to be involved , there are approx. 1 million in Australia all with the same cultist attitude. how long before they lose their shite ? and if you think its about trade , is the want of victims of mass consumption worth the cost of losing service people's lives or a billion dollar ship? .
The Albo government's statements and press releases must be scaring the crap out of all the terror groups!
Albo will be joining Village People
Fingers crossed the Chinese don’t fancy taking over your country when they run out of resources and room. Who will come to your aid I wonder.
If Trumpy gets back in Albo is going to have some pointed questions to answer. He's so far our of his league it's not funny.
This never ceases to amaze me !
Australia votes in a pathetically weak, left wing Government then we all complain when it acts in a pathetic, left wing fashion !
Lol, especially when you need some military funding. Don't worry though, you won China over…
First decision Albo has got right. The Empire of the USA is going down fast. Let’s not go down with them!
Albo has run out of money, wasted it on a pathetic voice.
Absolutely pathetic that we won't put our men in danger to support apartheid
Lol. Not supporting genocide is pathetic.
What a focked up world.
Why wouldn't we send a ship 14,000 km away?
Pathetic plus and Australians are in trouble big time with this PM. ALP please resign now 🙏
AnAl is a complete moron
Hooray we stop grovelling to Uncle Sam and stay out of their endless wars for once.
