Why are President Macron and Prime Minister Morrison still fighting over an Australian decision already made - to cancel the Attack-class program?
Macron and Morrison are actually cooperating in order to improve their chances as they go into their national elections in April 2022.
Macron knows he must look patriotic as he goes into France's first round April 2022 Presidential Election.
Equally Morrison (behind in the polls) knows he must look even more patriotic as he goes into Australia's next Federal Election likely to be held in April 2022 (or May 2022 at the latest).
