Former PM Slams Media's 'Irresponsible' China War Prediction
Paul Keating criticizes Australian media for their alarmist 'Red Alert' series warning of a looming China war, calling it an 'irresponsible prediction' made 3 years ago.
Former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating has once again lashed out at the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age newspapers over their 2023 'Red Alert' series, which warned that Australia needed to be 'ready to fight in just three years' against China. Keating has accused the media outlets of misleading the public with this 'irresponsible prediction'.
The 'Red Alert' series, written by the newspapers' international editor Peter Hartcher, claimed that Australia faced the threat of war with China within three years and was not prepared for the potential conflict.
