He'll need to be. The Trump administration's upheaval of American politics, the United States' sharpening rivalry with China and fears about the reliability of the American presence in Asia raise the diplomatic stakes to an all-time high.Janie Barrett
"He's a consigliere," said Simon Jackman, CEO of the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney. "He's a great counsellor to prime ministers and to his party. He's a straight shooter, which is exactly what you need when there are hard conversations to be had about what Australia can do and what it is less likely to be able to."
We want the US and China to manage their great power competition sensibly. We don't want to have to choose between them. We want trade differences resolved through an international system of rules. We don't want the world's technology supply chains and markets to be split into a US sphere and a Chinese sphere.We most definitely don't want to be thrown under the bus in any trade deal between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
davidwroe Oh dear.....🤦♂️
davidwroe So all of his 'memory loss' is ok? SERIOUSLY?!
davidwroe Arthur “See-No-Donors”? That one? Oh dear...
mikeaubrey2 davidwroe They dont shake when they are holding money; anyones? someones?
davidwroe Piss off, he claimed memory loss at a corruption enquiry enough.
davidwroe Hope e remembers how to get there...
davidwroe Hopefully his memory improves in the job
vote1neither davidwroe Nice puff piece for a partisan appointed job for the boys
davidwroe do you remember the ICAC some of us do..
davidwroe Are there any more distant vacant posts?
davidwroe And what about the REAL merit ensured by an OPEN selection process? DFAT selects the best graduates, spends taxpayer $ training them, they work hard for decades gaining experience as diplomats - and they're pipped at their peak, by political hacks? These appointments MUST stop!
davidwroe That assessment simply admits the atrocious incompetence of current Liberal Party leadership. Arthur avoided ICAC's punishment thanks to his epic memory failure. Not a solid moral basis, is it.
davidwroe Hahahahaha shame he can’t remember anything
davidwroe Is that a joke! Corrupt.

Alabama bans Arthur's same-sex marriage episode | Sky News AustraliaA television station in Alabama has refused to broadcast an episode of beloved kid’s cartoon Arthur because it featured a gay wedding. \n\nThe episode ‘Mr Ratburn and the Special Someone’ saw Arthur's teacher Mr Ratburn marry Patrick the aardvark.\n\nThe American program aired nationally, but Alabama Public Television decided to show a re-run instead.\n\nAPT director of programming Mike McKenzie defended the decision, saying children should be able to watch shows on the station without supervision.\n\nGay rights group GLAAD has slammed the decision, calling it ‘mean spirited’.\n\nPBS, which makes the Arthur series, told People magazine that its program aims to reflect the ‘diverse communities’ of children who watch the show.\n Right wing snowflakes 🙄 Thank you Alabama. 👍 I remember a storyline of that show where the mom went to work and the kids life fell apart. You think they may have freed women from the cartoon apron strings first. Nope straight from 1955 to woke.

Walter Mikac breaks down recalling his family’s horrific deathsWalter Mikac, whose wife and two daughters were shot and killed in the Port Arthur massacre, has revealed the heartbreaking wish he had on that horrific day in 1996. What a devastating story, how sad for this poor man. I remember port Arthur as if it was yesterday, and even watching shows like “you can’t ask that” which featured survivors, people who didn’t experience it will never truly understand what it was like. Martin Bryant is repulsive Tragedy porn.
