LABOR’S Penny Wong and leader Anthony Albanese broke ranks with Australia this week, siding with greedy corporate business leaders to appease China. Albanese, who has flirted with communism since his student days, and Wong, of Chinese heritage, crumbled under Communist Party pressure telling Australians to kowtow to the regime’s demand for “mutual respect”.
WHAT quality of people are being elected to Australian parliaments if they first require training in leadership, ethics, thinking and statesmanship before they can perform their jobs?
