Oozing confidence

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Ten out of ten points for Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor for his confidence of winning the upcoming general election.

On a recent visit to India, O’Connor talked about “a regular pattern of Ministerial and Prime Ministerial engagement” between the two countries.

“While I hate to say it, I think we can learn a thing or two from our cousins across ‘The Ditch’. Sustained engagement between Prime Ministers and Ministers from both governments has been a critical part of the step change that Australia achieved in its relationship with India.

“Prime Minister Hipkins has already announced his intention to visit India after our elections.”

We believe this comment would have raised a few eyebrows in Delhi.
