Congratulations from your Maidas Mates 🇦🇺

I look at it as mandatory that you sign off that you have been provided the opportunity to vote as it puts the responsibility on Gov to make it easy to vote. If you don't want to vote you leave your ballot paper blank. Most don't though.

Guardian Australia and Canberra Times. Although the Canberra Times is not a National paper.

How sad no Australian news sources.

I'm Australian, I will not be buying US products, and yes I will be checking.

Canada is a NATO country and is also part of the UK Commonwealth. It has friends.

Australia has universal healthcare, paid for by a medicare levee, but private health insurance is encouraged. Some private health insurers are for profit & also cover dental, optical, physio etc. Some professions ie teachers, defence members, have not for profit insurance.

Thankyou blocked

They are here already, but you can tell them by how many followers they have (not many) check their followers and block block block. There are also some good block lists available.

Yep 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yay you're here?

You will learn to identify them. Check profile, followers and comments if in doubt block

I see this movement of " they need us" into right wing US discourse. Threats may work in the short term but countries will adjust & eventually not trade with the US. Trade of soybeans to China never recovered (and I doubt will) after his last time. Short term gain for long term pain.

Thank for checking in so we don't have to.

Thank you

Shake up! Understatement of the week.

To be fair in all interviews with Trumpers they just talk over interviewees. They barely come up for air. X Newsmax and Fox only give 1 side. Very hard to combat.

Tell me more. I closed my account.

I see Taylor more on Instagram than X. May have avoided X because of hate.

Yes I check out accounts, before I follow. They are sneaky though. Or should I say desperate.

Good point - 🙊

I agree, 🤣🤣 but emus are battle hardened.

Please google what Pine Gap does for US defence. I get you're tired of costly healthcare. Countries that have universal healthcare pay for it through their taxes. It isn't free but is affordable. Sadly a lot of US thinks it's socialised medicine & therefore bad. I hope you get something.

I'm tired of the US threatening it's allies by breaking long held agreements. Your allies turned up for you at cost to them. Not attack us that is very generous of you. US words will not be trusted. Would be happy if you left Pine Gap though. It puts a target on our back.

Looking for an Ambassador job?

Aussie here we have an alliance with the US & you want to dump us & other allies. BTW who came to your aid after 9/11.That will weaken US. US allies are already looking at developing other strategic alliances. As for affordable healthcare I hope his concept of plan comes through. Interesting times

He was PM during Trumps last reign of terror

No koalas are in decline. A count of emus would be better. Emus are better fighters. They won the Emu War.

As an Aussie, we have Pine Gap. A joint US/Aus venture, which provides a huge amount of intelligence to 5👀. It puts a target on our back. Strategic to US early missile warning. It's dicey in a strong friendly cooperative r/ship. A worry in fractious r/ship. Trumps picks at the helm is frightening.

Because it is rarely civil. It just isn't. Why put myself through that. Elon playing around with algorithms makes X untrustworthy to me.
