LNP backbenchers are lobbying
Whilst LNP backbenchers are lobbying Dutton to resist going down the path of aid cuts, it is noticeable that this is being viewed through a geopolitical lens. It is about the avoidance of ceding diplomatic and influence space to China. Whatever the shade of Australia’s next government, policies toward the Pacific will continue to be primarily driven by China’s resurgence, rather than by the development needs of the people of the region. One thing we could expect, if it is a Dutton/LNP government, the transactional approach taken by Labor toward the region would at least be maintained, if not amplified. สล็อต เว็บตรง
