I know plenty down here who will be voting 'teal' as the BBC describe it - pissed off with the so called 'big two'. Suspect the reds will get over the line because of these two factors. Obviously hoping it will not be the case and there's a hung parliament. A single term for 'Albo' the snake would be one too many. Two and the militant mindless unions will be fucking everything up. Me? I'll probably vote National or for a minor party with Reform type values. Quote

Mental He told his supporters he’d sort ukraine within a week. He’s tanked the markets Gaza, well, that’s just embarrassing for him. Eggs still cost a fortune. but he has sent a few Mexicans back over the border and MAGA seems happy about that. As school reports go though, “must do better” fits the bill. Quote

I don't normally answer to Bolty as he pretty much has most on ignore, however, I'm pretty sure I didn't show any 'lack of knowledge' on the subject; as I said Labor are leading, with the others infighting and minor parties having an upswing which will no doubt mean a Labor government. However, because it's Australia, no one really gives a toss to be honest. Quote

Ani Posted April 29 Posted April 29 It has been reported that Amazon are going to start putting tariffs on their site so when you buy something the cost of tariffs will shown like when you see VAT on your receipt. Given Yanks seem to think Chinese Govt will pay them that might upset a few. Quote

Yep, and the Press Secretary earlier, suggested that it was a hostile and political act from Amazon, and that Amazon are partnered with a Chinese Propaganda machine. It won't be long before the average America realises that he's paying the tariffs, not the manufacturer.....for some reason, they don't seem to get it yet (some do of course, but not all) Quote

Because that's what they're being told. you know, "Free Speech" and all that.. (The right to tell as many lies as one likes) Quote

boltonboris Posted April 29 Posted April 29 American farmers are not happy. China is a lucrative market for them as the Chinese middle classes love a bit of Americana and "authentic America BBQ" places are really popular. Due to the tariffs now imposed on American goods, all the Meat being bought from elsewhere now. Brazil will be clearing swathes of the Amazon rainforest now to make some room for cattle for slaughter Quote

Cancelling the de minimis exemption is probably the biggest immediate issue for American consumers. Hong Kong Post for instance have stopped accepting parcels destined for USA for fear of them being rejected by buyers, as the taxes on small items is often more than double the cost of them Quote
