    Oh and just re-read your comment and sure back in the 70s and 80s when the US was looking to stitch up as much of our resources and industry as they felt like we were likely important to secure, these days… I’d bet you it takes three wranglers to get Trump to mispronounce Anthony Albanese’s name. We are boring and if it wasn’t for the fact that we have so much American ownership and a bunch of US military bases we wouldn’t be important enough to even consider. You know our position on the tariff list is primarily based on our previous dumbarse Prime Minister getting preferential rates in the past then allowing other countries to siphon their products through our ports otherwise we might have been given the same rate as the penguins got.
