PM Rudd has decided to brief the Chinese on the new Australian defense blueprint. Given that the proposed defense buildup is because of a similar build up by the Chinese this is somewhat surprising.
In a truly Ruddesque twist this is being done before he talks to the coalition about it. The implication is that the Chinese are more important than the Australian opposition parties.
This appears to part of the general trend of hating everything about your own country that many Western nations are following. Obama prefers to talk to his enemies and shun his allies. European nations are happy to give up selective freedoms of speech as they are pressured by violence to do so. They are also happy to give up centuries of legal traditions and allow one other, Sharia, to creep in.
Given that it is because of the underlying beliefs that has allowed the Western World to develop and the nation they are giving in to has made no progress of their own for 1500 years, this is somewhat strange. All part of the self destruction plan.
