Albanese's Bizarre Speech

During his Prime-Ministership Anthony Albanese has become known for bizarre speeches, were he waffles on about seemingly unrelated ideas, that seem to be hinting at some hidden agenda, but never really stating what that is. On Saturday Albanese delivered another one of these speeches, which has alarmed many who care about the future of this country.

Albanese gave a speech to honour former Prime-Minster John Curtin. Curtin was the 14^th Prime-Minister of Australia, and was Prime-Minister during most of World War II.

In this speech Albanese briefly mentions several things for which he ironically praises Curtin. Possibly the most ironic of them all is that he praises Curtin for plain-speaking, something Albanese fails to do in this speech, or probably any of the speeches he has given has Prime-Minister. He praises Curtin for re-establishing unity, purpose, ambition, and opportunity; all things that were already well-established in Australia before Curtin become Prime-Minister, and all things that are being squashed by our current political class, including Albanese himself. He praises Curtin for promoting local manufacturing and housing affordability, both things which have been squashed by the political policies pushed by Albanese. He also praises Curtin for unconstitutionally undermining the power of state governments, and concentrating power in the hands of the federal government; as if that is a good thing.

There is one less ironic area in which Albanese praised Curtin, and that was regarding his establishment of the welfare state, something which Albanese is intent on growing.

But the major theme of Albanese speech, and the part that has many people concerned are his comments regarding geo-politics. Albanese described Curtin as being in a battle of the wills with Churchill and Roosevelt; a statement that has some truth to it, as all three of them had strong personalities, and differing political views. However, the truth is that the three of them had a healthy working relationship, and disagreements were uncommon, and quickly resolved. Albanese references just one time were Curtin went against the advice of both Churchill and Roosevelt, fails to mention that he did so on the basis of advice he received from an Australian General, greatly overplays the significance of this event, and fails to mention that Curtin made the decision to place Australian military forces under the command American General Douglas MacArthur, ordering the Australian commanders to follow all of MacArthur’s orders as if they had come from him.

Albanese suggests that Curtin was the one that helped Australia think and act for itself, to follow our own course, to shape our own future, and to choose our own way. The fact that Albanese made the same statement four times in four different ways shows that this is the key aspect of his speech. The problem is that Australia’s unique culture was defined in World War 1, not World War II. And Australia’s founding fathers push for a federation, and the writing of the Constitution, showed that Australia has always operated independently, has always been able to think for itself and choose its own way; none of this can be contributed to Curtin.

Albanese bizarrely follows up these claims about Curtin helping Australia to think and act for itself, and to choose its own way; by praising him for laying the groundwork for Australia to be a part of the United Nations, the IMF, and the World Bank. Yet it is our involvement in these globalist organisations that has threatened our ability to choose our own way, more than any alliance we have ever been a part of. These organisations have consistently threatened our sovereignty, and coerced our government to act in ways that are detrimental to our nation, and its people.

Albanese then goes on to talk about how since Curtin, Australia has championed the rights of middle powers and smaller nations. However, the reality is that Australia has sat-back and done nothing, while China consistently exploits the small pacific island nations around Australia, and has done nothing to support Israel in defending itself against terrorists.

Finally Albanese speaks of the need to strengthen our relationship with Indonesia and PNG, both nations that look to Australia for handouts, and have no interest in our well-being. He also mentions the importance of our relationship with China, and the need to strengthen that relationship; despite the fact that China consistently bullies and intimidates Australia.

To understand this speech, we must understand the geo-political context, as well as the political views and ambitions of our Prime-Minister. Geo-politically speaking; America has asked all of their allies, including Australia to increase the defence spending, due to concerns about global threats, such as China, Russia, Iran; and the very realistic threat of the potential breakout of World War III. America has suggested that Australia should increase its defence budget from 2% to 3.5%. Following this request from America, China quickly stated that there is no need for Australia to increase its defence spending. Albanese rejected America’s request, and seemed indignant that they would try and tell Australia what to do. However, was not the least bit offended by China telling us what to do. The reality is that if America and all of its allies increase their defence spending (which almost all of them have agreed to do) will almost certainly be enough to prevent the breakout of World War III. So, although it will cost a lot of money, it will also save millions of lives.

The other major issue geo-politically is the various tariffs that Donald Trump is introducing, in order to introduce fair-trading between America, and other nations. Rather than the one-sided tariffs that punish America, that are currently in place. Under these new Tariff deals Australia will pay a 10% tariff to America, far below the current 25% tariffs we currently pay to China. The 10% tariffs being imposed by America are being portrayed as unfair, but no-one is complaining about the 25% tariffs imposed by China.

It is also worth noting that Albanese is about to meet with China’s Leader Xi Jinping for the fourth time, but has not meet with President Trump even once, and does not seem to be in any rush to do so.

It is no secret that Albanese has very different political views to Donald Trump, what is not so clear is how different his political views are Xi Jinping. It appears from this speech that Albanese is hoping that the legacy he leaves behind is that he was the Prime-Minister who stood up to Donald Trump. So, when Albanese praises Curtin for being the Prime-Minister who helped Australia to choose its own way, I think what he is really saying, is that he wants to be the Prime-Minister that destroys our relationship with the USA, and other traditional allies. And instead reduces Australia to be a puppet-state run by China, and the United Nations. Albanese’s domestic policies are concerning, but his geo-political policies may be even worse.
