Keating made the comments about secretary general Jens Stoltenberg as Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese, travels to Germany and the NATO leaders’ summit in Lithuania to discuss support for Ukraine.

Keating is a strident critic of the acquisition of nuclear submarines through the Aukus alliance to guard against aggression from China.

“Stoltenberg, in his jaundiced view, overlooks the fact that China represents 20% of humanity and now possesses the largest economy in the world … and has no record of attacking other states, unlike the US, whose bidding Stoltenberg is happy to do,” Keating said.
