In response to Fool-or-fabricator-abc-in-the-spotlight

Taz, Taiwan and the Donbas

I agree with Edward Down – the ABC reporters are either the world’s most ignorant or most complicit and compromised in the media outlets beyond the Benighted States of Murdochracy. (Honourable exception – John Lyons, now “kicked upstairs” as Global Correspondent after calling B/S on the “beheaded babies in ovens and mass rape of 7 October” which even the government of Israel has long acknowledged to be untrue hasbara.

The Merkin Isle is approx. 250ks from Australia, Taiwan is 160kms from China.

Both straits are international waters as the so-disant “freedom of navigation” provocations of the US and its various satrapies demonstrate.

How would Dutton and the IPA/ASPI et al have reacted had the recent Chinese navy ships availed themselves of International Maritime Law and taken the shorter route to circumnavigate Australia via the Bass Strait?

No question about how the “Labor PM” would have expectorated after he’d regained consciousness and received his riding instructions from Langley VA.
