As President Donald Trump exits the White House, Australians face a decision. We can choose to keep following America or we can choose to learn from its mistakes.
At the end of 2019, the director of the International Security Program at the Lowy Institute Sam Roggeveen This has been made harder by the tech conglomerates' decision to ban Trump from tweeting and posting on their platforms following the Capitol riots. The ban was appropriate, given the events that preceded it, but it means Biden embarks on his task at a disadvantage. A key non-media communications channel is now itself perceived as a biased publisher.
But the response to McCormack was out of all proportion. It led to the ridiculous situation in which shadow health minister Chris Bowen found himself seriously demanding that the deputy PM apologise for uttering the words “all lives matter”. This is the kind of arbitrary patenting of language which leaves ordinary people silent, angry and resentful enough to express themselves in the only way remaining to them: in the guaranteed privacy of the ballot box.

parnellpalme Hopefully we will learn from them and not try to be them
parnellpalme Ten years ago I remember whining that political parties had become too centralised. What I wouldn't give to be making the same complaint today.
parnellpalme Can’t see An Australian PM emulating Trump all contenders are comb over merchants
parnellpalme First thing we could do is cancelfairfax
parnellpalme Facts are controversial and subjective according to McCormack. To exchange ideas beyond our own world views we need mutual respect for verifiable facts. Trump, Kelly and, Christensen are more intent on feeding conspiracies in order to close down and avoid discussion. IMHO.
parnellpalme It's too late, we already have our own version of Trump, and a few more waiting in the wings.
parnellpalme Relax everyone. Neither the left or the right will win anymore elections. Just the New World Order from here on in. Jump on for the ride. Support the New World Order.
parnellpalme Yes that’s so true, we must get rid of ScottMorrisonMP for a better future in Australia.
parnellpalme Parnell McGuinness? Spare me.
parnellpalme Australia has our own Donald Trump. His name is Clive Palmer & at the last election his party got about 3% of the vote despite massive advertising spending.
parnellpalme We never choose to follow them, we are a vassal state and have no choice.
parnellpalme These people need to be banned from politics... Separation of church & state is a fundamental principle for a government that is for the people!
parnellpalme 9Fairfax will of course say to follow Trump while pretending to be independent
parnellpalme What mistakes greatest president there was time will show it. Corrupt Biden will ruin America
parnellpalme Seriously , talk is cheap. We can do this or that. It’s not our decision. It’s the decision of the Prime Minister
denniallen parnellpalme Spoken like a true right wing libertarian. Ignores the influence Kelly & Christiansen have on their followers; Assumes the battle of ideas is on a fair playing field; blames the individual is News Corp media misleads them :each person should have consumed a wider variety of media
parnellpalme I don’t even need to read it to know that the answer is “No, we should probably learn from this shitwhow and forge a very fucking differnt path”.
parnellpalme And where does Murdoch play into all of this?
ChrisLancashir3 Parnell? I think I’ll save those 5 minutes for something important, like cutting my toenails.
parnellpalme Morrison... the Trump Australia chose.
parnellpalme There is no need for us to ‘follow’ any nation!
parnellpalme We do t have to do either. We can vote fairly for whom we want as Prime Minister. Let’s just stop the sneaks from infiltrating our Osrliament🥭have your back mate
parnellpalme Good grief, this 'writer' again - so, so tedious and insulting to anyone with a smidge of intelligence.
parnellpalme I don’t follow your comment 🙃
parnellpalme Biggest mistake we made was electing MORRISCUM.
parnellpalme The SMH would need to start doing its job and tell the truth, for Australia to NOT follow in the Trumpian Style
parnellpalme Yeh, following China is the future
parnellpalme So you want to keep bowing down to China i take it
parnellpalme Our Trump is unelectable.
parnellpalme Scomo can follow his master to the exit door
parnellpalme A good start woukd be Morrison condemned Trump? We are all wondering why he hasn't done this like other world leaders ?
parnellpalme That will depend on Bidens policy on China. If his weak on the Chinese communist party we should stand on our own
denniallen parnellpalme Morrison can partner with the US and learn from his mistake of being befuddled with the outgoing President.
parnellpalme Absolute rubbish. The Morrison government has to go just as Trump government is gone... Americans are great people the Republican Party is the problem. Now get rid of the the liberal party.
parnellpalme Dear parnellpalme, you’ve really tried to cover an enormous amount of territory in this op-ed. Truly, there are about 6 points/assumptions worthy of lengthy exploration. I don’t yet think we are seeing the forest for the trees, nor the trees for the forest, in the Oz context.
parnellpalme trumpgonescottynext
parnellpalme Another impartial bit of journalism I see.
parnellpalme What on earth is Parnell talking about? We already have an Australian Trump in Scott Morrison! Parnell is way behind the eightball...keep up, Parnell... auspol MSM
parnellpalme This is like giving a 14 year old an essay assignment on US politics and telling her to write a little bit about everything she knows. And then promise not to edit the garbage she comes up with. No serious newspaper would publish drivel like this. It's an insult to your readers.
parnellpalme It’s about time Australians realised being right is more important than loyalty.
parnellpalme This is what happens when you give a 14 year old an essay assignment and tell her to write a little bit about everything she knows. And then promise not to edit the garbage she comes up with. No serious newspaper would publish drivel like this. It's an insult to your readers.
parnellpalme What a narrow mind you have, considering you're a critical journalistic outlet. It's not following America that's endangering our future, but allowing Chinese influences to dominate our educational institutions, as it is doing now. That is where the danger lies for us.
parnellpalme We don't want an Australian Biden either... trump was a tool but Biden can't even keep a chain of thought.... America is screwed... get ready for wall to crash, houses to drop in price... massive recession on the horizon.
parnellpalme Or, we can be a bit more proactive about our own destiny.
parnellpalme Garbage analysis based on rubbish assumptions. Written by Liberal fellow traveller as usual specialising in false equivalence arguments.
parnellpalme Tell this to trump loving morrison
Strehlowwendy parnellpalme letslearn
parnellpalme WE CHOOSE AMERICA! EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
parnellpalme Doubt we are big enough to set an independent course. Even more doubtful that their would be joy if the China or Russian model was adopted
parnellpalme Trump did wonders for the US in lowering unemployment confidence in the Dow from 17,000 to 31,000 and making the country independent again - he'll be missed
parnellpalme This is a pissweak take to a serious issue.
parnellpalme Too late
parnellpalme We need to learn from our mistakes first then look at the world amd have a strategy that suits our country and it’s people
parnellpalme When China really comes at us I’m hoping we chose option 1 The left however - will no doubt embrace socialism and take a knee to the CCP
parnellpalme We need to distance ourselves, USA is toxic. Our system is much better, and our people are nothing like them. 70,m people think Trump is good, 80,m think his crazy and the other 170,m couldn't care. Says it all in the data.
parnellpalme We dont want an American media but way too late for that. Globalist puppets the lot of you
parnellpalme Or we can continue to lead by example
parnellpalme Keep playing your role as the dog of U.S. auzi, don't disappoint your master.
parnellpalme For Australia, It’s a bit like a weak man entering prison. You need to join a gang for your own protection. Unfortunate, but the world is run by liars, cheats & thieves. 🇦🇺
kate_universe parnellpalme
parnellpalme We need to take a neutral position so we can have better economic relations with China before it is too late instead of being a US puppet to their foreign policy regarding China.
parnellpalme Social media conversation? lol They only do echo chambers, if you do your research and respond they censor you. They allow the occasional dissenter but onLy if they have missed it or if they want a pretense of free speech. Maybe ask someone who has actually tried?
parnellpalme God I hope so. Conservatism is destroying the planet and creating poverty world wide. The fee should never have more than the rest. Most are to stupid to see this. Let’s hope we learn from the dumbest country on earth. 🙏🙏
parnellpalme First job, get rid of Morrison.
parnellpalme Learn
parnellpalme Zero research Zero qualifications Load of utter codswallop
parnellpalme Sadly our current government has already taken us down the American road with low wages & attacks on health care & low income earners all while rorting the system to help themselves. selfentitled rorts
parnellpalme Time to move on instead of blindly following US 👌👍
world_news_eng parnellpalme How can they follow a classified idiot ? Google the definition of an idiot and see the name that comes up ..........., New York Times , dated 12 , 2017 by Eric Anthamatten .
parnellpalme Good Grief & Bless the idiots running Australian economy national security natural environment IN TO THE GROUND
MAK7591 parnellpalme Yes... Please learn from our shitshow... We are NOT okay and you don't want any of this crap lol. I just sincerely hope things get better now that this pumpkin headed asshole is leaving soon
parnellpalme How about an Aussie government that thinks for itself and puts its people first. Not that hard I would have figured...🤔 oh, and is serious about fighting corruption and foreign influence? This would be a good start...
parnellpalme We’ve got a PM and most of his cabinet in an American evangelical cult. His best mate is a Q devotee and our Mrs PM throws the white power sign in family photos....so......
parnellpalme Trump represents a reaction to an action that happened earlier, following Newton's third law of motion. No solution is possible if it ignores previous happenings. BLM protests is a case in point. If one side takes a sledgehammer to the democratic institution, they can't blame....
parnellpalme The answer was Zali Stegall.
parnellpalme Never ever follow a country, a party or one politician blindly. They all have to work for our respect and for our vote. The argument that I’ll vote for Labor because my dad did and I always did just ain’t good enough!!!!
parnellpalme US is an ally. With menace out of WH & facing 67 indictments in NY State alone, things will get back to normal
parnellpalme Mistakes like the Democrat endorsed BLM/Antifa carnage across America.
parnellpalme That means giving Murdoch the flick. He controls right wing conservatives and their politics!!
parnellpalme I would rather walk together with the USA and UK, than be a slave to Chinese Communist masters. MakeChinaPay
parnellpalme Morrison is a mini Trump wannabe We are in trouble
parnellpalme What’s mistakes?
parnellpalme Australia has to stand on its own, america and china are the past, its time to move on
parnellpalme Like following America into a dark pit of social disorder is an option.
parnellpalme Not one Federal LNP member or senator has criticised Trump following his attempts to subvert US democracy. That tells us what choice Australia will make whilever we have a LNP government.
parnellpalme Follow CCP.
parnellpalme The reasons why US presidents must wait 2 months for Inauguration day
