Well, this was how Scott Morrison is enhancing his reputation for being untrustworthy. He’s, he’s leaking selectively, no doubt, text messages between him and Emmanuel Macron. And now perhaps leaking selective selectively secret material to embarrass the United States.
I mean, you know, this is the problem, you know, when first you practise to deceive, you just get caught in one web after another. How much simpler would have been if we had if it had been straightforward?
I mean, the nuclear issue was always an option. I wrote about it my book um, and I discussed it with Emmanuel Macron. It was always a possibility that we would move to nuclear propulsion that it needs a long lead time because we have no nuclear industry here. We have no nuclear skills in Australia. And so you need to do that very carefully.
But if he had had an honest and open discussion we wouldn’t have had any of these problems. I mean, this is all the product that Scott’s duplicity. I mean, you know, he can twist and turn and leak a text message here and leak a document there to his stenographic friends in the media, but ultimately, the failure here was one of not being honest.
