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

I certainly think one of the really amazing things about Mr. Trump's victory is there's been an immediate - what one of my friends calls a jump-to-the-Trump in Australia. So you've got politicians of all sides looking at this amazing result in America and thinking, I'd like a bit of that. Can I have a bit of that? And so the opposition leader has been talking about immigrants stealing people's jobs. The prime minister has started talking about media elites in exactly the same terms as President-elect Trump.

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.
