Okay.
>Australia has thrown its diplomatic support behind Lithuania
Here’s hoping that Australia follows suit to support the country, then.
>Senator Payne said Australia was not considering renaming its Taipei office to “Taiwan”
If only they had a strong ally in the EU they could convince to help them and Lithuania…
I knew we let Australia stay in the Eurovision for a reason!
Australia going against China might be the biggest joke of 2022. China imported about 1.1 billion tonnes of iron ore in 2020, 700 mil of that was from Australia. And guess what, it’s our main export. Very cool.
