It's kind of telling that Trump thought he was punishing China by making it prohibitively expensive for American manufacturers to buy critically important inputs, and China countered by making it impossible for American manufacturers to buy critically important inputs

Coalition politicians have continued to downplay Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s apparent referencing of Donald Trump’s signature Make America Great Again slogan at an election rally, calling it a “slip of the tongue” even as images emerge of the shadow minister and her husband wearing Maga hats just months ago.
The Nationals leader, David Littleproud, called it a “slip of the tongue” when Price, the shadow minister for government efficiency and Indigenous Australians, told a campaign rally she wanted to “make Australia great again” on Saturday. The senator later claimed she hadn’t “even realised” she made the comments, then accused the media of being “obsessed” with the US president.

If you've received a text message or letter claiming to help you get a postal vote — beware. Both major parties run major data harvesting operations that rely on voters not knowing that the non-partisan-looking forms are actually a political weapon.
The Coalition and Labor’s faux postal vote forms are a blatant scam
Is it a surprise that Australians don't trust politicians when the first piece of party communication they receive is a data harvesting form meant to deceive them?

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”
