The lunatic in the White House keeps creating chaos. All we can do from Australia is boycott everything American, as best we can - including don't travel to the US. This callous policy below is indicative of Trump's maniacal push for a white America. #CancelAukus #auspol
This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

This continues Australia's streak of historically low unemployment - the lowest on average for any government in the last 50 years.

The Liberal Party is chasing right-wing voters off a right-wing cliff, failing to even try to win back the urban, educated women who have locked them out of the cities until further notice.
Opinion | The Liberals need to win back all sorts of voters. But they especially needs to win back professional, urban women — and Angus Taylor is unlikely to help there, @rachelwithers.bsky.social writes.
What will Angus Taylor mean for the Liberals’ seemingly never-ending women problem?
