I mean, Trump's war in the Middle East has completely thrown the world trading order and economy into disarray at great cost.

Now, when it comes to Trump putting tariffs on us, well, the reality is that Trump has to pay for his excesses, especially for his massive tax cuts to himself and his billionaire mates.

And this is the way he's doing it.

As we know, tariffs are actually a tax that American consumers pay.

But what it does, of course, is make our exports dearer and harder to get into the market.

But the other point, of course, is the decision on the submarines.

The discussion there is it's better to get in-service submarines than used submarines.

That's exactly right.

Here, this demo is just, it's only got 200 kilometres on the clock, you know.

In fact, I don't think we can make a distinction between the government and Australia here.

Albanese pointed out that what we've got is the biggest global spike that's ever happened in Australian history when it comes to oil and energy.
