I feel safe in Australia, he could be rejected on character grounds;
"the Minister (or delegate) reasonably suspects there is a risk that while you are in Australia you would:
-vilify a segment of the Australian community
-incite discord in the Australian community or in a part of it"
Vance isn’t just riding Trump’s wave—he’s strategically positioning to inherit his base as Trump’s influence wanes. Backed by tech billionaires, he’s blending populist rhetoric with corporatist ambition. Is he a true believer, a puppet, or an opportunist? Watch the fault lines emerge.
Personally I was cringing. He sounds pathetic trying to explain democracy to countries whose citizens have more rights and protections than in the US. And Hegseth's speech made him sound like a testy little boy. You can't pew-pew values, peoples! USA powerful! PS: pew pew bang bang yeeeeh-hah.
