Albanese tries to remain a ‘deliberate small target’ amid ongoing crises

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.”
