Anthony Albanese couldn’t have hoped for a much better trip, or weather, in Paris. | RobHarris_SMH
Over the past 12 months Australia’s standing on the international stage had fallen to new lows. With Europe now at war and growing tensions in the Indo-Pacific, the nation’s diplomatic efforts had stumbled at a time when it could least afford it.
Emmanuel Macron, a highly divisive leader at home and in Europe, had no doubt milked Morrison’s missteps over the cancelled submarine contact at every turn. It was, at times, over the top, performative and petulant. It was all very French. Asked if an apology from Albanese was necessary over the submarine fiasco, Macron said with a wry smile: “We will speak about the future, not the past. He is not responsible for what happened”., Macron made the most of his moment in the sun.
