List of countries not subjected to tariffs:

Russia
Belarus
North Korea
Cuba

Remember when Dutton, who tried to dismantle Medicare as Health Minister, recently backed the LNP supporting Pharmacy Guild in making it harder to access cheaper medicines?

A vote for Dutton is a red carpet for Trump to screw us over as much as he pleases
