His presence there symbolises, on this solemn day, how easy it is for a real statesman from a developed country to manage relations with a, ahem, less-developed neighbour.

You just fly in, throw some money around and spout some platitudes about working together towards common goals.

LOVELY

The natives do the rest by smiling for the cameras and telling the world what a lovely, generous bloke you are.

Why couldn’t the Israelis have done that? Instead, they gave the Palestinians Gaza and expected them to fend for themselves. That’s not how it works!

Now the Israelis are dealing with the third anniversary of the war that Palestinians started, while Albo’s being treated like a VIP poolside at the Sofitel on Denarau Island.

All he had to do was open the cheque book to fund “climate change” projects.

What the islanders actually do with all that money is, in strictly diplomatic terms, nobody’s business. As long as they remain onside, job done.

If he’s unconsciously portraying himself as a better statesman than that “war criminal” Netanyahu, then he’s also consciously distancing himself from whatever uncomfortable situations the uppity Australian Jews might provoke on the anniversary of October 7.

His energy Minister Chris Bowen, who loves a private junket more than any other member of Cabinet, was more than happy to stage this pointless conference as an excuse to not be in the country should things get ugly again like they did in Bondi in December.

A good leader sees these conflicts coming and avoids them like the plague lest they attract more attention than is strictly necessary.

Throwing $180 million at the media to ignore uncomfortable truths can only go so far.

When it comes to the dark art of fomenting division and destroying a nation’s inherent culture, Albanese is competent – but he still yields to the true masters in Britain and Europe.

While he was distancing himself from whatever acrimony arises on this third anniversary of October 7 by attending an extravagant conference overseas, the British government was achieving its own similarly progressive goals far more cheaply and brutally.

In case you haven’t heard (and you certainly would not have if your sole source of news is the “news” media), on the night of October 4, the British government issued a “dispersal order” for the dockside area of the seaside town of Gosport (population: 82,000).

MUSLIMS

This was because the government planned to land a boat containing 149 hostile, fighting-age illegal Muslim migrants there.

Anybody who gathered to protest this invasion would be committing a criminal offence and liable to be arrested.

In other words, the government is breaking the law, and anybody who dares to resist this action will be, well, breaking the law.

The irony of this should have been enough for the nation that gave us Shakespeare and Monty Python to rise up en masse, if only to laugh at the fools behind it all.

But the British population, lulled into docility by decades of creeping multiculturalism, crime and poverty, are now mostly beyond caring about the destruction of their country, as are their politicians.

In the past month, all the major Parties (including Reform, Conservatives and Labour) have held their annual conferences.

Each treated the issue of “immigration” – their euphemism for “invasion” – as cursorily as possible before moving onto more important issues like the tax on power bills or the price of bus fares.

Reform promised to “stop the boats” and deport one million illegals over five years, which sounds impressive.

But it doesn’t address the equally urgent issue of the hundreds of thousands of migrants who have legal status but want to either bludge off the system forever or, worse, blow people up in the name of their religion.

Conservatives, like the Liberal Party in Australia, are having a bet each way by promising to stop the boats while pretending that those who have already arrived aren’t colonising large swaths of the country and turning them into ungovernable Third World shitholes. It’s vibrant, innit?

And Labour has appointed Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary, who has publicly stated that her first loyalty is towards Islam, not Britain.

As such, her policy is to import more, not less, people from Afghanistan and Gaza, which will hasten the final stage of the destruction of the country as it has existed for centuries.

Despite being able to trace its cultural antecedents to Ancient Rome and Greece, Britain is now, thanks to its own insipid self-loathing, virtually finished as a white, Western civilisation.
