Trump has sent a wrecking ball through old alliances. The implications for Australia are severe
In a world where Donald Trump doesn’t appear to know what AUKUS is, Australia can no longer rely on decades of friendship and shared values.

This really highlights the extent to which Labor has been wedged on foreign policy by the LNP, putting it in conflict with traditional Labor values.

As an Aussie, my top level take is that Zuckerberg’s complete capitulation to Trump shows why we need domestic regulation of this stuff. The way we expect to be able to talk online shouldn’t shift based on who’s in the White House
Also: the naked contempt these companies have for their customers is truly repulsive. This is the time that the tech media should be up in arms and screaming at Meta! We are at the point where measurably harmful things are happening and there's still this bland, "well that happened" reporting
