"The company you keep.
Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orbán, Donald Trump.
Australia’s accession to the US president’s self-titled “board of peace”,
always unlikely, appears now an impossibility, analysts argue.
Australia could not, in any conscience, acquiesce to joining a group that could
include the names above, autocrats and despots convinced that might is right,
that violence is legitimate and that they exist beyond the reach of the law.
There is no benefit to Australia to joining, there is no influence it could
seriously hope to hold. There is only risk in being, rightly, held accountable
for whatever misadventure and chaos the “Greatest and Most Prestigious Board
ever assembled” unleashes on the world."
