The main politicians of the party rushed to support the United States alliance despite the president’s unpredictability amid the calls to an independent review of the other Australian options.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and opposition leader Peter Dutton have spent large pieces of their campaigns in the period prior to the May 3 elections that are positioned as the best person to manage Donald Trump.
Labor has punished liberals to copy Trump’s populist policies.
The attempt of the coalition of avoiding comparison with the president, which is unpopular in Australia, was not helped when government efficiency spokeswoman Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, a modeling role in the department of Elon Musk in the United States, proclaimed that he wanted to “make Australia great again.”
When asked about the use of the statement, the spokesman for the coalition campaign, James Paterson, said “that is not my policy style.”
“What we are focused on is the fall in the standard of living that has occurred in the surveillance of the Labor,” he said on Sunday.
The leader of the nationals, David Littleproud, also defended the comments, saying that it was an improvised speech, during which “you have many words in the head.”
“Without realizing, he made these comments, it’s not about trying to channel Trump at all,” he said.
The independent deputy Monique Ryan rejected the use of an inflammatory language that the greens have used against the president of the United States, qualifying it as “undergraduate populism”, but echoed the concerns about the Alliance of Commerce and Defense.
The Kooyong parliamentarian has joined the calls for parliamentary investigation into the Aukus alliance.
Global volatile policy meant that Australia had to “think about the fact that the United States would not always be a country that works to act in our best interest, both in commerce and defense,” he said.
Defense Minister Richard Marles defended the agreement of the Alliance and Aukus by virtue of which Australia will buy submarines with nuclear energy from the USA. UU.
“I understand that people will constantly ask the question about Aukus and perhaps that is quite just in the sense that this is a multi -care and multimillionaire program,” he said.
“But when you look at what people say here, in the United States, in the United Kingdom, there is support throughout the political spectrum.”
