The results of the recent Federal Election show a strident rejection of Donald Trump and his wannabe copycat Peter Dutton. Unfortunately, returned PM Anthony Albanese hasn’t got the message. On the campaign trail, Albanese went out of his way to praise the US Alliance and talk up how friendly he was with the warmonger-in-chief, so much so that after the election Trump told reporters: “Albanese, I’m very friendly with. I don’t know anything about the election other than… the man that won is very good. He’s a friend of mine.”
