Trump and his tarrifs have sent my high risk superannuation into free fall.

Mine too. Not great for someone who retired just two months ago. They always go back up eventually. Unfortunately, up the stairs and down the elevator.

This was Dutton's big chance, to show that he'd be the one to stand up to Trump the best compared to Albo... However Dutton won't do that - because he's cut from the same cloth as Trump, and had been trying to follow the orange guy's lead with some of his campaign pledges etc.

Albo and Penny Wong and team will be the ones to stand up to Trump for Australia in the next three years - rather than suck up to him and the corporate masters, like Dutton and the LNP.
