Albo disconnects from Trump’s defining moment

Albo exercised his right to disconnect during a generation-defining moment in geopolitics.

While Albo was ‘disconnected’, President Trump saved the world from the ‘Axis of Resistance’ and ensured world peace for at least the next three years. There will be no nuclear weapons for terrorists any time soon.

Like the first Gulf War was to Gen X, President Trump’s strike against Iran is a defining moment of a new era in global politics. Only Australia’s Gen Whatever wouldn’t know it if it punched them in the face. That’s because Australia’s state-owned media, like our Prime Minister, is disconnected from reality.

Michael de Percy has criticised the slowness with which our political class has approached the entire situation. Weekends do not apply to world-changing events. As he wrote, ‘Like the first Gulf War was to Gen X, President Trump’s strike against Iran is a defining moment of a new era in global politics.’ And defining moments demand attention. Why Penny Wong has decided to use her social media accounts as a travel advisory board is anyone’s guess.
