Germany is open to sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine.

Germany is prepared to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine as part of efforts to help Kyiv seize the momentum against Russia, the soon-to-be Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said.

The suggestion breaks with the policy of the incumbent German leader Olaf Scholz, who has refused to give Ukraine the missiles.

Merz said Kyiv must be allowed to 'get ahead'.

“In Australia, in a #democracy, you make your #arguments with #words, not #weapons,” he told Sunrise.

“If people want to come up to us and have a chat, they can.”

“If they don’t like us, then they might mumble something under their breath or cross the road – you never want to see the sorts of threats of #physical #violence happen, like we’ve seen #overseas.” — Member for #Blaxland

Does Australia and Australians need violence for political change? NO, thats why we vote.

Both major Political parties have “Pay to meet the Politician” programs for the largest bidders, so saying the public can chat to any Politician, especially serving members is unrealistic & patronising.
