US-Australia relationship ‘burdened by suspicion’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Bruce Wolpe says the US president believes Australia was “part of a conspiracy” to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016 – which is “very serious” for the relationship between the two nations.\n\nThe theory stems from a meeting between Australia's former high commissioner to the UK Alexander Downer and former Trump aid George Papadopoulos in 2016.\n\nDuring the meeting, Mr Papadopoulos said he believed Russia had information on Hillary Clinton that it would release to embarrass her in her campaign against President Trump.\n\nMr Downer then passed on details of the conversation to Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs, which in turn alerted the US.\n\nMr Wolpe said some mistakenly believe Mr Downer was “trying to get intelligence on the Trump campaign to take it down”.\n\n“It really does mean that the relationship is burdened by a suspicion among some Trump supporters that Australia did something wrong,” he said.\n\n“Australia acted with complete faith and fidelity to the alliance. But that this conspiracy theory persists shows that there’s a shadow here that could really hurt the relationship between the two countries.'\n He should be able to just 'Ask Him' but it would not comply with Amy Vanderbilt rules of Etiquette for Pres Donald J Trump, rewritten by Pelosi and Schiff & Associates..to be continued, changed, or revised at their Will and to include Convenience.

And then there's I'm not saying you're publishing mindless, conformist support for psychiatry , but where's your stories - cue dramatic music - from the other side? Being a linguistically diverse background doesn’t make a difference, people who speak other languages can ask for help the same way English speaking people do. But then again, we live in Australia where it’s expected you know at least English alongside your native tongue
