J. Chalmers-Flying out to US. Trade and tariffs. “I don’t expect he will conclude those discussions on steel aluminium while I’m in DC. I am not going to pre-empt the outcome of those conversations, nor do I expect those discussions will necessarily be concluded this week, to be upfront with you.”

Both sides are definitely NOT the same in Australian politics! This is another excellent example of a stark difference between the major parties. It's simply breathtaking that our cut-price 'Temu Trump' coalition can call such a valuable life-changing policy a "perverse incentive."🤔 #auspol #AusPol

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announces $8.5bill Medicare boost - the largest investment in Medicare in 40 years. The Albanese govt is making it cheaper to see a doctor by extending bulk-billing & increasing incentive to doctors who bulk bill. Great news! #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Seems like a good reason for Australia to not to rely on Starlink for our fire defence, if other options are available: “Ukraine was told it faced imminent shut-off of the service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals” michaelwest.com.au/us-could-cut... #auspol

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)
