OPINION: Anthony Albanese’s performance in Tokyo was welcomed by Quad allies nervous at the prospect of a Labor government and whether it would stand up to Beijing.
Flying from Tokyo to Sydney on Wednesday, Anthony Albanese received a phone call from Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, the latest foreign leader wishing to congratulate him on his election victory.
It has all been quite surreal, more so because of the need to dart off to Japan on Monday, before majority government had been confirmed and The only departure from the former government was that Labor had a much more robust climate change policy because “climate change is the main economic and security challenge for the island countries of the Pacific”.in his first international foray as leader, at an event over which the ghosts of two former Labor leaders hung heavily, pulling him in different directions.
It was a point made to Albanese in a personal message of congratulations sent by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, the second most senior Chinese official after President Xi Jinping.
