Unless the US can magic up a steel industry overnight that can fill the gap - (hint it canβt and no business is gonna invest in it at the whipsaw pace trump is changing his mind) then the only losers really are US consumers.

However using βfalse flagβ although technically correct, under current corrupted usage I wouldnβt adopt the term.
The right of Australian politics have a lot to answer for by opening Pandoraβs box courting far right votes for 30+ years.
It was also to be used as a bargaining chip for reduced sentences for assisting police. Itβs not uncommon for someone with links high up to offer police a weapons dump or other info with their assistance considered at sentencing.

How much would the average guy at the pub invest without a hot tip?

And these levels of imports have been around for years so itβs unlikely US steel / alum can ramp up overnight let alone provide a cheaper alternative. So big risk is just US inflation and Fed hiking interest rates by the end of the year.

No one confirmed him either. Thats not the US system. No doubt many laws regarding data retention and security have been breached. Be interesting to see if there is anything resembling accountability ever restored.

Literally seen the Labor party wrestle back inflation while also providing meaningful cost of living relief. LNP are truly awful during economic crisis. Every time times get tough Labor mop it up. But thatβll never be good enough for you.
2 eps in, so far so good.
And Dutton has alway been a lightweight.

8% of $300 is $24.
$300-$24 =$276.00
You can keep the extra $1
