The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The precedent set in Canada could soon be repeated in another Commonwealth country. Australia’s federal election is this weekend, and the incumbent center-left government of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese appears to have been boosted by Trump’s belligerence. Amid the escalating trade war provoked by the White House, including tariffs on steel and aluminum, the Australian public also seems to want leadership that can directly reckon with Trump’s challenge.

“The two conversations I’ve had with President Trump are ones in which I stand up for Australia’s national interest and I will always do that,” Albanese told reporters as the election campaign got underway.

Polling conducted by Australian public broadcaster ABC found that more than seven in 10 Australians thought Trump’s actions will leave them worse off financially, while a majority no longer viewed the United States as a reliable security partner. Three months into Trump’s second term, 66 percent of Australians said their country could no longer count on the United States and needed to further develop its own military capacity. That figure last June was under 40 percent.
