The words of the Australian Prime Minister about the "harsh reception" in relation to Vladimir Putin aroused criticism in Australia itself
62
The words of the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who recently promised to ask toughly with Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit about the causes of the collapse of the Malaysian Boeing 777 in the sky over Ukraine, caused a wave of criticism even in Australia. Recall Abbott, announcing his possible conversation with the Russian president, used the term of Australian football, meaning "hard power reception with the aim to dump the enemy on the ground" - shirtfront.
The use of such a term and the general nature of the words of the Australian Prime Minister caused discontent among both ordinary Australians and politicians and political scientists. For example, the senator from Tasmania, Jackie Lambi, said that such statements by the Australian Prime Minister only underline his political immaturity. Lambi noted that the Russian president had been pursuing a policy of combating terrorism for a number of years and had succeeded substantially in it, and therefore attempts to accuse Putin of the planned crash of the Boeing are stupid. Jackie Lambi said she respects the leadership qualities of the Russian president. He writes about it Guardian.
Jackie Lambi:
He (Putin) contributes to the elimination of terrorism, and you (referring to Abbott and other representatives of the Australian authorities) should give him credit for this.
He ridiculed the statements of Abbott and the satirist Jazz Twemlow, saying that the Australian Prime Minister in his own words just wants to impress the people. According to Twemlow, if Australians really like their statements, Abbott will be a disgrace for all of Australia.
Recall that the G-20 Summit in Brisbane (Australia) opens on November 15. It will be interesting to observe how Abbott begins to apply his "hard techniques" against Putin. Is it possible that the Australian prime minister himself will be fools? ..
