I'm the last person to defend a politician but it's extremely funny* to see the biggest Trump backers in Oz media still manage to blame Albanese for not changing the mind of a deranged tyrant, who they continue to support, on tariffs

Loved Prime Minister Albanese's reply this morning and it's true, he said Australia won't be imposing Tarriffs in return because it will be Australian paying it and driving up inflation, Trump just put up taxes 25% on America people not Australians
We have more "cards" to play than retaliatory tariffs anyway. No more non existent sub money. Remove US Forces personnel from NT installations for a start. Australia really needs to get serious with this wanna be dictator.
Spud's noughts and crosses grasp of policy drafting and diplomacy looks at everything as an opportunity of driving a wedge between groups for his perceived advantage. Albo is a long term politician, problem solver and party arbitrator between the factions with the ability to play 3D chess. Mismatch
Just imagine the deals Potato Head would have made to try to reverse the tariff. We'd have half the country's assets sold in perpetuity from under our feet.
There's one advantage when the price or iron ore plummets. All those tradies now working for Gina might be forced back into their profession. That could get business buzzing in Australia.
But Dutton and attack dog James Paterson said blah blah blah
More confected outrage from Liberal hacks on ABC presented as facts
Actually Albo is still PM and responsible for response to Trump, not the rabble of the LNP opposition

Young Jimmy was so full of rage when he was being i'viewed by Sally on RNBreakfast this morning, he plumb fogot to answer some of her questions.

Pretty sure some of the noises coming thru the radio was the sound of his bottom lip connecting with his chest.
Tariffs: No world leader has changed Trump’s mind. Dutton’s claim that Albanese should have, is so hollow, it echoes in its own stupidity. Dutton as Defence Minister, still wearing ‘L’ plates, said we’d support USA in a war with China, if China invaded Taiwan. Amateur megaphone ‘diplomacy’, NO cred.
I have a very good friend who thinks Trump style tariffs are the saviour of farming & industry. I always thought he was different, now I know he's missing some fundamental thought processes, just like Trump.
Rents up 48%, wages up 25% since 2020. Add another 25%, this is a tariff led recession.
An American, just 3 weeks ago visiting Gina Reinholt's dairy in the SW of WA told my friend that he milked 2,500 cows through a 24 hr cycle (yikes!) and had 56 undocumented Mexican's working for him. He wasn't sure that he would have a business on return to the USA.

Has Gina said how she would like to be treated by Trump?
She may be in for an unpleasant surprise.
That will show courage - and sense.

This is what he's done with other tariffs & with Ukraine. He makes threats or removes benefits, then puts them on the table again or ups the ante.
