Albanese will be able to fly over the only actual democracy in the Middle East — Israel — on his way back to Australia. To be a champion of democracy you might actually want to deliver the benefits of democracy — a strong government delivering on a democratic mandate. Democracy is a precious right so, so few people in the world ever get to experience.
