The Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says the world is "sorting itself out" into two coalitions, one headed by the United States while the other is headed by China. The remarks come after Mr Morrison addressed the nation with a major foreign policy speech ahead of his trip to Cornwall for the G7 Summit. "The real guts of Morrison's speech was the part where he was talking about democracies cooperating economically as well as strategically," Mr Sheridan said.
"What I think is happening, but who knows if it's going to follow through, is the world is sorting itself out into a US-led coalition and a China-led coalition. "The US-led coalition is mainly democracies but with some sort of fellow travelling authoritarian regimes like Vietnam. "The Chinese system is overwhelmingly authoritarian systems, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are in the Chinese camp.

Andrew Bolt: Two examples of ‘health fascism’ by ‘cowardly politicians’ | Sky News AustraliaCoronavirus has 'not killed a single Australian this year - not through community transmission - but it has sure killed perspective,' according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt.\n\n“Two examples of our new health fascism,” he said.\n\n“Example one is from Queensland, a couple flew in fully vaccinated from the Middle East, repeatedly testing negative in quarantine, had their baby son born prematurely last week while they were still in quarantine.\n\n“To this day they have not seen their baby, aren’t allowed to see him in hospital.”\n\nMr Bolt said the chances of the couple being infectious are “so low you could hardly measure it”.\n\n“The sheer hypocrisy, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk could yesterday tweet that she just got the Pfizer vaccine so she could travel to Tokyo for the Olympics, but two parents who got the vaccine can’t even visit their own baby in a hospital in Brisbane,” he said.\n\n“We saw the same abrogation of responsibility in Victoria.”\n\nThe Victorian government recently rejected a request for an exemption on numbers for the funeral of an 8-year-old boy who drowned at a school camp.\n\n“Again the health risk was so small you couldn’t calculate it,” Mr Bolt said.\n\n“But here too, again cowardice, no judgement, no compassion; just the rules.\n\n“This virus has not killed a single Australian this year, not through community transmission, but perspective – it sure killed that.”\n\n
