Anthony Albanese is slammed for yet another trip as he flies to the US – ahead of a VERY busy travel itinerary to come: ‘He doesn’t deserve to be our prime minister’

Ray Hadley has slammed Anthony Albanese for flying to the US instead of dealing with problems at home and claiming he doesn’t deserve the top job.

The Prime Minister, known as ‘Airbus Albo’ because of the frequency of his foreign trips, said the “important” visit to Washington DC is about “building an alliance for the future” with a military and economic partner.

But Hadley accused Albanese of “going a step too far” and blamed the prime minister for his overseas trip.

“We are causing great division and the guy responsible, the captain, coach and sole selector, is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese,” he said on 2GB on Monday.

‘So what is he doing? We have crises regarding the Middle East, we have crises regarding people who cannot afford to live, to feed themselves, to clothe themselves, to pay their mortgage.

‘We have the drama about the yes/no vote (referendum)… so what does he do? He gets on a plane to talk to Joe Biden. How Joe is going to help us. I wouldn’t know if I knew, but I don’t think he will.’

Hadley asked, “Will that guy ever spend any time here?” The only time he spent here was embracing the ‘Yes’ vote and he got knocked down.

“These divisions in this country belong to the Prime Minister. It’s his and his alone.

“In my opinion, this guy doesn’t deserve to be our prime minister. He has relinquished his right to be our Prime Minister.

“I have no doubt that within a year there will be action against him (by his colleagues). He will disappear into the ether,” Hadley predicted.

Mr Albanese is meeting the US President in Washington DC for the ninth time since he became Prime Minister 17 months ago.

‘It will be an important visit. The alliance between Australia and the United States is central to Australia’s foreign policy,” he said on Sunday.

Before leaving, the Prime Minister also spoke about the AUKUS security partnership between Australia, the US and Britain, which aims to deter Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific.

“Our AUKUS pact is absolutely critical, and I will be meeting with members of Congress and the Senate on the legislation necessary to ensure that AUKUS can continue to move forward,” he said.

Mr Albanese will also discuss Australia’s $368 billion spend on a nuclear submarine programme.

Australia will buy three American Virginia-class nuclear submarines, built by weapons manufacturer General Dynamics, from the US from around 2033, with an option to buy two more.

Then, about a decade later, a new SSN-AUKUS-class hybrid ship arrives in Australian waters, built as part of the trilateral alliance with the UK and US.

The U.S. Congress and Senate still must pass legislation related to AUKUS and defense spending, which could affect the submarine deal.

“And it’s one of the reasons why it’s very important that I visit the United States to represent Australia’s interests.”

“President Biden’s agenda is one we support, and we will push for support for any legislation necessary for AUKUS,” Albanese said.

“I was very encouraged when I met with members of Congress and the Senate… There is strong support for this arrangement across the spectrum.

“This is in the interests of Australia, the United States and Britain.”

Albanese’s trip to the US is the latest foreign venture the prime minister has undertaken since taking office in May 2022.

The Prime Minister made more than twenty foreign trips to countries such as India, Japan and Spain in just over a year.
