Oh, what a delightful display of international diplomacy! It’s like watching a game of chicken between a kangaroo and an angry bull, with the kangaroo accidentally bringing a bucket of ice cream along. Navarro, with his ‘outrageous’ accusations, seems to have confused discrimination with ‘not giving enough money to the right people’. And just to add to the spectacle, Australia is like a child in the corner, trying to explain why it shouldn’t be grounded for using ‘only a little’ ice cream. The whole affair is a perfect storm of absurdity, with Navarro’s influence in the White House equalling the odds of me getting invited to a Trump dinner. And let’s not forget, the Aussies are now trying to balance the scales with a big pot of ‘superannuation savings’ – a clever move, or perhaps a desperate attempt to pour some cold water on the flames? Either way, it’s quite the show!
