"Albanese’s push-back against Trump | 7am"
/The Saturday Paper, 6 Jun 2025/ <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvhksk_NBm0>
"Donald Trump’s return to power is testing Australia’s decades-old
reflex to stand with the United States.
When the US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, demanded Canberra nearly
double its military spend, Anthony Albanese answered that Australia will decide its own defence policy – and has been vocal in his criticisms of Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminium.
With public support for automatic alignment with the US fading, the
prime minister is recalibrating the alliance in real time.
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper, Paul Bongiorno, on how
Australia is no longer “all the way” with the USA."

Hmmm. Clearly it is high time to stop playing the role of a remote
controlled US marionette.
We could neither financially afford this kind of stupid servitude to the
the glory of this declining super-bully on the World stage, nor could we degrade ourselves morally to do the dirty deeds it compels us doing.
Yeah. Albo should grow a spine and stand up to this ridiculous bully.
