But Morrison did not introduce sanctions against any Chinese officials before leading the Coalition to its May 2022 election loss.In speech extracts distributed by the event organisers in advance of his speech, Morrison draws a parallel to 1938 – the year before the outbreak of the second world war – when the then British prime minister returned from talks with Adolf Hitler.
Morrison is also expected to speak of how he “rallied like-minded countries through initiatives such as the Quad and Aukus to call out the bullying of the Chinese government”.

‘Woefully unprepared for war’: Jim Molan’s critical warning in final must-watch interviewThe late Senator Jim Molan used his final interview before he died to urge the government and Australians to begin preparing for war as he declared China is determined to become the “dominant power” in the Western Pacific. In the wide-ranging interview, Mr Molan assessed Australia as being “woefully unprepared” for a regional conflict between China and the United States. Mr Molan died in January following a two-year battle with cancer and filmed his final interview with Peter Stefanovic for the Sky News Australia documentary Are We Ready For War? which airs on Wednesday February 15 on Sky News Australia at 7:30pm AEDT. In the interview, the former army major general said China is determined to become the “dominant power” in the Western Pacific – and even perhaps across the whole world. “The big threat to us is that somehow someway China will challenge us as a liberal democracy, it might be in direct conflict with us, it might be in a war with us and our great and powerful friend, the Americans, with us as collateral damage to that particular war,” Mr Molan said. “And because the Americans are out of the region, we become fundamentally a tributary state to China, and we lose our liberal democratic nature. That’s what we’ve got to defend. “We are woefully unprepared for a regional war in relation to the resilience of our nation.” After serving in Australia’s armed forces for 40 years, including stints in East Timor and Iraq where he served as Chief of Operations, Mr Molan made a move to politics. In the lead-up to the 2013 election, Mr Molan helped design the Operation Sovereign Borders policy and went on to serve as then prime minister Tony Abbott's Special Envoy for Operation Sovereign Borders from 2013 to 2014.
