    Great news honestly.

    The implications is that their strategists have told them that the stench on Trump and Musk is going to sink them unless they can differentiate themselves.

    Shit is gonna get real in the US this week.

    The further Dutton has to distance himself from Trump the better.

      Except he’s only doing it to get elected. Once in you know he’s going to hitch back up to the Trump train

            Yeah but Palmer’s objective is not to get elected.

            He uses the election as a platform to promote these far-right ideas.

            People that vote for him will ultimately preference LNP before ALP anyway.

        I’m hoping that him backing down from stuff won’t play well with his base. They like someone who appears tough.

        Albanese drawing a hard line on the biosecurity/pharmaceutical stuff with the US is a nice juxtaposition.
