Australians have a lot to be proud of, including our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). The US drug companies want to water it down, and we need our elected leaders to be brave in defending it. In an increasingly dangerous world, we will need leaders to be braver than they have been for decades

The White House says tariffs on Russia (and presumably these others) are unnecessary because we don't trade with them on account of trade embargoes. 3 points:
1) Not true (see below)
2) Iran and Syria are heavily embargoed, but still got tariffs
3) Trump put tariffs on several uninhabited islands

List of countries not subjected to tariffs:
Russia
Belarus
North Korea
Cuba
They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

No one I've talked to or have heard on TV today, could explain how Donald Trump came up with today's tariff numbers.
I checked the other platform and renowned business writer James Surowiecki offered this. It makes sense as an explanation less so for economic policy #Trump #Tariffs

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Trump promised our PM that he would consider an exemption for Australia on steel and aluminium tariffs but he just announced live absolutely no exceptions. Why are we doing this stupid expensive #aukus deal. We just paid them 800 MILLION dollars. #auspol @albomp.bsky.social

Why do learners have to do different total hours driving experience before getting their driver's licence? Vic and NSW 120, WA 50, SA 75, Tas 80, Qld 100, NT ZERO! What is the evidence about the optimal hours? 120 hours is a lot of carbon and $ and hours for parents if the benefit is unproven.
