Congratulations to the Australian Government on their successful campaign to win a two-year seat on the United Nations Security Council. Not only does the council face ongoing crises in Iran, Syria, the DRC, Lebanon, Palestine and more, but the global security agenda is rapidly changing to take in climate change and environmental crises, natural disasters, pandemics, forced migration and crimes against humanity.
I think that the Opposition should embrace Australia’s success in winning this seat. After all, we are all global citizens, why shouldn’t we pursue positions in global councils and have a greater say in the affairs of the world. I don’t know about anyone else, but “hey, Rupert Murdoch, it is a big deal and I do care”. Who do you think you are speaking on my behalf and no doubt that of many other Australians.
