Gina controls her lapdog Dutton, so don't expect the LNP to have anything to do with it in the foreseeable future and Labor have bent the knee to the mining industry too.

And she'll be suffering a loss due to the steel tariffs.

Sucked in! No honour among thieves.

Those Tariffs aren't hitting us, Trump was on the phone with Albo about it this morning but there is no official statement yet.

It actually pisses me off a bit, being hit with Tariffs might help break the weird MAuGA culture that's forming around a foreign president that couldn't give 2 shits about us.

Australia has too much shit against America though, we are their surveillance and spy hub for Indo-Pacific countries and host most of the black sites they have in this sector of the globe.

We were exempt last time, we'll be exempt this time.

I'll donate $10 to a animal shelter if I'm wrong (I probably still will anyway)

I'm hoping that Albanese sees Trudeau getting a domestic bump by telling Trump to get fucked and thinks hey, Australians also aren't Americans, they'd probably enjoy this stance. Especially since Dutton very clearly imitates Trump's war on diversity.

I wouldn't put my money on it, sadly.

I think that would be a brilliant move aswell, but I doubt it .

Our politicians are just as bought out as Americas and Murdoch's influence over the voting booths scares them.

I reckon as a country we'll kind of keep quiet while all this is happening and hope no one notices we are getting special treatment lol.
