Yep, a crucial element. There was no problem too solve. They had a pro in place. But they had to play Westminster silly buggers.
It is worth recalling that the position of U.K. Ambassador to the US was not vacant at the time the Prime Minister chose to appoint Peter Mandelson to the role. A highly competent and respected woman was replaced.

Can someone please ask this dog-whistling migrant Bianca Colecchia, who has a heavy accent & now works for One Nation, why she moved to Australia 10 years ago, one of the most multicultural nations in the world, if she’s so unhappy about different cultures? 🙄 #auspol

I wonder if One Nation would still be rising in polls if media bothered to question the fringe views they stand for
Climate denial, against LGBTIQ+, against women’s rights, abortion
Or when they tried to funnel $ from NRA to weaken gun laws
Hype would be over pretty fast #auspol

Gobsmacking to hear Sussan Ley demanding the PM apologise for taking 25 days to call the Bondi RC — when she never supported a Royal Commission into her party’s illegal Robodebt scheme, and has never even apologised for driving Australians to their deaths. #auspol

Dangerous new step in Trump's deranged pursuit of Greenland: economic punishment of allies to coerce Denmark into selling Greenland—on demonstrably spurious grounds. The president is lying: US missile defence can function perfectly w/out US ownership of Greenland. It has done for decades.

The Adelaide Writers Festival now wrecked by the Adelaide Festival Board, half of which was appointed late last year: a marketing executive; a former politician; a local councillor/real estate agent; an airport manager; a lawyer; a media consultant; and a banker. Another public arts takeover fiasco.

After the floods of 2025, can we keep 2026 above water?

There’s twice as many utes as tradies in Australia. We need remove the luxury car tax exemption which incentivises people to buy megautes instead of safer, cleaner smaller cars and SUVs.

This country is not those two. They were radicalised extremists. That’s the point. Extremism is by its nature rare. It does not grow from a failure of moral consensus. It seeks to shock the consensus that exists. Those suggesting otherwise for their own advantage betray the memory of this tragedy.
