Overnight With Michael Mclaren

Mike is joined by Julian Leeser MP, Shadow Attorney-General and Federal Liberal member for Berowra, to weigh in on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s apparent effort to distance Australia from the United States in a recent Sydney speech. Mr Leeser criticises the PM for not doing enough to strengthen ties with the US, noting that months after Donald Trump’s inauguration, Albanese has yet to secure a face-to-face meeting with the president. Referencing Australia’s historic alliance with the US, Leeser warns that shifting toward a more independent stance could unsettle Washington.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
