Hon JAMES SHAW (Minister of Climate Change): Thank you, Madam Speaker. There's a saying that history doesn't repeat but it does rhyme. And the parallels between Putin's Russia and Putin's regime and those of Adolf Hitler are quite remarkable. Both were authoritarians who had, or have, an ideology of chauvinistic nationalism. Both of them use extensive propaganda and coercion to keep their own populations compliant. If you look at the history pre the full outbreak of World War II there are parallels between, say, the annexation of the Sudetenland on the Czech borderlands with Donbas and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine. There are parallels between the Anschluss of Österreich and the annexation of Crimea, and, of course, also, after all of that, it was ultimately the invasion of Poland that led the world to act more comprehensively to stop Hitler and his regime. So it is that the invasion of the Ukraine has finally spurred the world to act to stop Vladimir Putin and his regime.
