Would be interested in regulars filling this out and posting results. Lengthy but worth doing. I thought I was more centrist than the results turned out.


No surprise here.

Australia’s Ambassador to France is a career public servant who looks like she has been working towards this post all her life.

Gillan Bird is the current Australian Ambassador to France. She has held this position since November 5, 2020. Bird is a senior career officer in the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. She has a BA from the University of Sydney and is a graduate of the French École Nationale d'Administration.

==========

Meanwhile in America. Trump appoints his daughter’s FIL.

Hopefully he brings the French into line with the new Trumpian world order.

Doing a BA at Sydney Uni should set up our ambassador to do a lot of parties and attend art gallery’s and long lunches.

You’re an untapped vessel of knowledge.

Probably better qualified than she is, not that it even matters.

Credentials simply do not always equate to good decisions. Never have.

Albo and our entire fat cat foreign service might have been better to consult with me, @JokerEel and @Poupou Escobar and other wiser posters before virtue signalling to Biden and Harris before the election.

We would have said to expect a Trump election victory …as we forecast here.

Why is it that we can read an outcome instead of a public service we pump billions into every year?

Now we have more trouble with Trump than we need to.

It’s not a question of credentials, it’s what you do with the knowledge you allegedly have.

And even if Trumps son in law isn’t very smart, don’t you think the French would secretly welcome that?

Feds out of LU, Gronky must be free!

What is this dribble ? Grandpa Kushner is better than our Ambassador because I said so ?

I don’t know the AU lady either, but at least she has qualifications and experience in DFAT ? What does grandpa have on his resume other than being a disbarred lawyer, a felon and a Zionist ?

The logical answer is that no one’s knows how effective he’s going to be until he’s given the opportunity.

Working for dfat doesn’t make you a good ambassador.

I go back to my earlier point, if our foreign service couldn’t predict a Trump victory, they aren’t very good.

Our most important ally too.

Too many long lunches at Raffles,Rudd was throwing his $20,000 LGBT parties in New York, he makes Sir Les look like a Rhodes scholar.

And guess what Gronklette?

Ahh, yes he worked for dfat too.

Im beginning to think maybe the feds should look into LU and weed a few youngsters out.

I’m no expert in policy. My expertise is in rugby league opinion.
Indeed.

Which makes the dfat calling of Harris/Biden for the win even worse.


Australia was always better to hedge our bets, support the us people, no matter who they voted for, but the deep state wokeys here had no idea.

Catastrophic failure of the Australian foreign policy eunuchs to get this wrong.

No wonder we don’t have a seat at the table on important matters of international consequence.

Like clockwork we just hit December and this has started already.

Why do we bother anymore with it as a public holiday.

We can't celebrate it obivously.

Just change the date so we can move on with our lives.

Rudd was stomping on Trumpy before the elections, so much so, he had to delete his rude social media when trump got elected.

He was supposed to be our man in Washington.


The comments in question were posted prior to the primaries.

If that's your evidence of DFAT "calling the election" for Harris / Biden, that's pretty bloody weak.

I see the Murdoch outrage machine has gone off early this year.

Looking at that thread it doesn't seem to have captured the imagination of the punters quite as much as not being able to buy a giant blow up thong from Woolies, but give it time.
