The #Gaza 20-point plan will fail because it does not recognise the rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people. Trump is not about the morality of peace and justice. He doesn't want to be a loser in Palestine, or anywhere! JM #Auspol #USvisit

Albo, Trump and China: No one likes a loser

The first obvious takeaway is that our prime minister has been wise not to heed the Austral Americans urging him to get to Washington as soon as possible.

For all of those patting the prime minister and ambassador Rudd on the back for their efforts this week in making sure we remain the 51st state, shame on you. Albanese and Rudd sold out freedom of the press. @barnsgreg.bsky.social #auspol #USVisit

Albanese and Rudd sold out freedom of the press this week

Many Australian journalists think Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Ambassador Kevin Rudd did a wonderful job this week in handling the corrupt narcissist who runs the United States, Donald Trump.

If Trump welches on the #AUKUS to sell Australia a few nuclear submarines we should be thankful. The US cannot afford to walk away from Australia whatever the relationship is between Albanese and Trump. It wants those bases. #auspol #USvisit

How important is an Albanese-Trump meeting?

Trump’s record suggests that meetings with him frequently fail. Instead, Albanese has an important agenda to pursue at the UN in New York, and when dealing with the US better outcomes are more likely if Australia develops its own policies in its own interests.
