Part 8/10:
Sheridan criticizes Albanese’s handling of national security and foreign policy, describing the government’s approach as "amateurish" and "ill-advised." He points out that Albanese often appears uninformed on key issues and has demonstrated a reluctance to allocate sufficient resources to defense and strategic planning.
The inability of the government to foster essential relationships, such as with the U.S. president, further exacerbates vulnerabilities. Sheridan advocates for a more pragmatic and engaged approach—implying that Australia’s security and economic future depend on it. He stresses that immediate action—such as securing a high-level meeting with Trump—could significantly bolster Australia's strategic position, especially amid rising Chinese military assertiveness.
