ah, the Australian election
it'll be a coalition government of labor + independents (climate activists) and Greens (known to be antiwar)
climate action is antithetical to war
so I don't think we'll be seeing a lot of cooperation from our Australian allies in "confronting China"

This evening, I will be leaving for Japan to take part in the second in-person Quad Summit. The Quad leaders will once again have the opportunity to discuss the various Quad initiatives and other issues of mutual interest.

Interesting. Interpol has had a multi-national effort to up the technology training & access for illegal fishing crimes with multiple nations for several years. Why not piggyback off of this effort? 🤔

Reject all US 'initiatives' in our back yard.. US as usual, meddling in other countries affairs, a long long way from home. Russia and China, to start meddling near US borders..see how it feels, returning the favours.
