Volodymyr Zelenskyy has shown how you deal with bullies.
Australia now urgently needs leaders who can plan for a world in which America is not an ally but a threat.

Our politicians are deer in the headlights of history. But Zelenskyy showed how to lead
Zelenskyy has ensured world leaders have nowhere to hide from Trump's threat to Western countries. Australia's leaders can't respond.
