Скачать или смотреть ‘A tribute to Australia’: Andrew Bolt praises PNG PM’s parliament speech

Sky News host Andrew Bolt has praised Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape’s speech in Parliament on Thursday, hailing it as a “tribute to Australia".

The Prime Minister spoke about the shared history of the two nations and the important role Australia has played in the development of PNG.

Mr Bolt said the speech reminded people of the values and great Australian character he thinks people are losing.

“I was struck and, like I say, moved by the praise that he gave to Australia and our colonial past, the sort of praise that Labor and the Greens never would,” Mr Bolt said.

“They'd choke to praise colonialism in Papua New Guinea or in Australia – since colonialists also gave Aborigines the same things Marape was talking about; democracy, law and order, rule of law, development, Christianity and that passport that is the English language.”
