There's been an instant desire to try to take some of the rhetoric that has done so well for Mr. Trump and apply it to Australian politics.

Australia is very good friends with China, perhaps better friends than America is.

We haven't had a recession for 25 years in Australia. It's partly because of our trade with China.

Surely it's time for climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies.

If Trump really can build up American infrastructure, that will help reinflate the world economy, and that would be a good thing.

We haven't had a recession for 25 years in Australia. It's partly because of our trade with China. China's been doing relatively well. So some of the tensions around a low-wage economy haven't quite happened here in the same way as they have in the United States.
