‘Took against Israel from the start': Australia joins calls for Gaza ceasefire
The Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan discusses Australia's position on the Israel-Palestine conflict. 'The Albanese government is not trying to have any effect on the Middle East, it's just trying to manage domestic politics,' Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

China policy ‘dysfunctional' under Anthony Albanese
The Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan questions the value of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's trip to China, describing it as 'ill-advised'. 'I thought the visit was ill-advised in its duration and its symbolism and its substance,' Mr Sheridan said. 'Nothing of substance came out of the visit at all, absolutely nothing. 'China policy has become very dysfunctional under Albanese … the government no longer has a dialogue with the Australian people about the strategic challenge that China poses.'

Australia's Gaza ceasefire call slammed as ‘performative politics'
The Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan criticises Australia's decision to join 24 other countries in calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza, dismissing the move as 'performative politics'. 'This situation in Gaza is a terrible tragedy; the overwhelming moral responsibility for it lies with Hamas, and Hamas could end it all tomorrow by releasing the hostages,' Mr Sheridan said. 'I don't think the statement is of any use at all, however. I think the Albanese government responds to this situation entirely in terms of domestic politics. 'I think this is just performative politics by these Western governments.'

‘Unfathomably stupid': Albanese's six-day China trip slammed
The Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan slams Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for his six-day trip to China, labelling the visit as 'unfathomably stupid'. 'The more I look at this with the cold eye of national interest, I think what on earth is going through the Prime Minister's mind to agree to a six-day trip to China?' Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin. 'When the Australia-US alliance is under more strain and under more neglect from both sides, Washington and Canberra, then it's been for many, many years. 'Albanese has secured nothing in China. There's been no substance in this trip; he's got nothing out of it.'
