Chinese Live Fire Drills, Torpedo Washing Up Are a Stark Image

While it turns out that it wasn’t a foreign torpedo which washed up on the Gold Coast, the visual and the worried response from many across the country is telling and stark.

Labor’s weak leadership on the world stage has a real-life impact on our communities, and we feel less safe than ever.

China conducts live fire drills off Australia’s coast - just weeks after their third KNOWN confrontation with Australian Defence Force personnel - and we discover the PM didn’t know for some time?

Instead of demonstrating courage and integrity, Anthony Albanese failed to address the confrontation, chose to lie about what and when he knew about the fire drills; and still refuses to acknowledge his failure to know about the antisemitic terror plot only a few weeks ago.

His deception was undone at Estimates this week. The truth shouldn’t have to be drawn out by the Opposition. Integrity demands better. Australians deserve better.
