Australia needs to hold onto ‘long standing alliances' like the US amid AUKUS review

Sky News AU12-06-2025
Nationals Senate Leader Bridget McKenzie says the Coalition wishes Prime Minister Anthony Albanese 'every success in strengthening' Australia's relationship with the United States, amid the Pentagon ordering a review of the AUKUS deal.
'I think the review is concerning, I think it adds to the long task list of issues that the Prime Minister will have to raise with the President next week,' Ms McKenzie told Sky News Australia.
'We have a very real vulnerability, and these very strategic, long-standing alliances are critical to our security.
'AUKUS and our strategic relationship with the United States has to be the primary concern of the Prime Minister.'

Australia to take teen social media ban plan global, despite Wiggles' complaints

Australia will take its social media ban to New York to push world leaders to protect children online despite the Trump administration's defence of US tech companies and attacks on digital censorship. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed on Wednesday he would hold an event in New York in September to coincide with a United Nations meeting, after the government defied threats from YouTube's parent company to sue if the site was included in the ban. Communications Minister Anika Wells confirmed the chief executive of children's music superstars The Wiggles, Kate Chiodo, was brought in to advocate against barring children under 16 from logging in to the platform. 'For clarity, it was the black skivvies, Wiggles Inc, Wiggles management, not individual members of our cherished national icon the Wiggles,' Wells said on Wednesday. The prime minister added: 'We're not here to sledge the Wiggles. Let's be very clear, my government is pro-Wiggle'. YouTube Kids will escape the social media ban, but the main platform will be included in the ban along with sites such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and Snapchat. The ban is set to start on December 10. The prime minister said advocacy groups that campaigned for the ban, including 36 Months and Let Them Be Kids, would be part of the event in New York in September. 'We will continue to advocate, this is our position, it is up to other nations what they do, but I know from the discussions I have had with other leaders, that they are looking at this,' he said. Albanese remained unfazed when asked about US President Donald Trump's close relationship with the tech giants, confirming the social media ban had not come up in conversations between him and the president.

Australian Olympians from 1980 Moscow Games finally recognised

Australian Olympians who competed at the 1980 Moscow Games have finally been recognised for their efforts 45 years later. The 1980 games have been a black spot on the Olympic record. Seven months before they were set to be held, the then Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan causing many countries to boycott the games. Although Australia never formally boycotted the event, public sentiment against Australian attendance was widespread. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser urged the Australian Olympic Federation (now the Australian Olympic Committee) to support the boycott and even offered athletes $6000 each as incentive not to compete. Some teams, including the entire Australian hockey and equestrian teams, withdrew completely, but in the end the Australian Olympic Federation narrowly voted against withdrawing from the games — six votes to five. Ultimately, just 121 of the original 273 athletes made it to the Games — quietly and with little fanfare — they were snuck in and out of the country in an unmarked plane and out of uniform. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and opposition leader Sussan Ley officially recognised the athletes participation and subsequent treatment in an address to parliament. 'When you were chosen to wear the green and gold you should draw strength from knowing that the whole nation is with you,' the Prime Minister said. 'And on your return you should be welcomed home and celebrated for the inspiration you have brought to the next generation of Australian athletes. 'Yet 45 years ago, the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan cast a dark shadow over what should have been your shining moment. 'As nations around the world grappled with the boycott, Australia's athletes — some still only teenagers — were placed in an incredibly difficult position. 'One hundred and twenty-one Australians chose to compete under the Olympic flag. Others chose to join the boycott. Some who had won selection never even had the chance to choose because their sport made the decision for them.' Mr Albanese said upon their return athletes were met with 'cold silence or cruel comments'. 'Today, we fix that. Today, on the 45th anniversary, we recognise all that you have achieved and acknowledge all that you have overcome. 'Take pride in both. You are Olympians. You are Australians and you have earned your place in the history of the game and our nation. Welcome to parliament and welcome home.'

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese waiting for right moment to recognise Palestinian state

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is preparing the ground for an historic shift. Australia will recognise a Palestinian state, it is only a matter of when and how. 7.30 understands Mr Albanese has been privately indicating to Labor colleagues that such a declaration can only be made once. He is aiming for a time that best contributes to a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. "What we're looking at is the circumstances where recognition will advance the objective of the creation of two states," Anthony Albanese said on Wednesday. "My entire political life, I've said I support two states, the right of Israel to exist within secure borders and the right of Palestinians to have their legitimate aspirations for their own state realised. That's my objective." Support for Palestinian statehood among the world's developed nations is growing. British prime minister Keir Starmer said this week that the UK will recognise the state of Palestine by September unless Israel takes "substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire and commit to a long-term sustainable peace reviving the prospect of a two-state solution". The UK move came less than a week after French president Emmanuel Macron pledged to formally recognise Palestinian statehood in September. If both countries follow through, they would be the first G7 and UN Security Council members to adopt such recognition. "This decision by France and the UK is significant," Malak Benslama-Dabdoub, a lecturer in Law at Royal Holloway University of London, wrote on The Conversation. "It signals a departure from the western consensus, long shaped by the US and the EU, that any recognition of Palestinian statehood must be deferred until after final-status negotiations. "The move also highlights growing frustration in parts of Europe with the ongoing violence in Gaza and the failure of peace talks over the past two decades." Foreign Minister Penny Wong on Wednesday signed a joint statement with 14 other countries — including France, Canada and New Zealand — expressing "our determination" to work on a "day after" plan for Gaza that guarantees its reconstruction and the exclusion of Hamas from "Palestinian governance". The statement also highlighted promises by Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas that a future Palestinian state would be "demilitarised". Mr Albanese spoke with Mr Starmer overnight and revealed there would be further conversations between the leaders "in the coming couple of days as well", reiterated that Hamas can play no role in a future Palestinian state. He noted that the Palestinian Authority leader's pledge implies a future Palestinian state can have neither a conventional or "paramilitary" force. "What we will continue to do is to put forward a principled position consistent with our unwavering commitment to the vision of the two-state solution." "In an immediate sense, we continue to call for a ceasefire. We continue to call for hostages to be released. We continue to say that Hamas can have no role in a future Palestinian state, and we continue to call for aid to be allowed to the people of Gaza." Mr Albanese said "Israel needs to be able to be confident … that they're able to exist without a threat to their security." Mr Albanese said Australians want the fighting and killing to stop, and they do not want "conflict brought here". "My priority has been to try to navigate what is a very difficult situation. "The young Jewish boy or girl going to the local school should not be harassed because of who they are. They are not responsible for what is going on in Gaza. "And Arab Australians or Muslims are not responsible for what Hamas did." Former Labor trade minister Craig Emerson told 7.30 that the "recognition of a Palestinian state has been a long and difficult journey for Labor".
