My take on last night’s extraordinary result www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Today I read #AngusTaylor has pledged to repeal Labor’s tax cuts if they win power.

No-one - absolutely no-one - will tell you that it’s business as usual in Washington. Yet @albomp.bsky.social says he is confident that the US would defend Australia if it were to come under attack. One is left wondering if he’s being double served Kool-aid. #auspol

Could someone remind me of what the "shared values" Australia apparently has with the US that mean we must keep this "enduring friendship" at all costs?
