G’day John,
********************

Today we found out that President Trump is putting tariffs on
Australian steel and aluminium.

And no I don’t think that the Prime Minister jumping on a plane
to Washington would have helped.

Last time Trump threatened tariffs Prime Minister Turnbull
managed to talk him out of it.

Malcolm Turnbull is spot on, telling the ABC over the last few
days “He's a bully, he seeks to achieve dominance and he gets
dominance by intimidating people… what every nation needs to do
is to stand up to him, because otherwise it's a slippery slope."

I couldn’t agree more. Australia needs to be strong and we need
to be working with the other like minded countries. We need to
stand by Ukraine. I don’t support sending peacekeepers - that's
more appropriate a task for the Europeans - but we could speed up
the delivery of the Abrams tanks and get more bushmasters to
them.

Since he was first elected to the presidency in 2016, Trump has
never, publicly, said anything bad about Dictator Putin.

Since he got back in the Whitehouse the Trump administration has
moved quickly to make it easy for his Russian mate and he is
drawing up plans get rid of US sanctions against Russia as I
write this.

On her first day in the job Trump’s Attorney General disbanded
the FBI’s taskforce designed to detect and disrupt Russia’s
interference in US politics – something Putin has also done in
the UK and France.

Trump has also turned off the program that helps Ukraine keep its
electricity grid up and running – leaving everyday Ukrainians
without power.

Trump wants Russia back in the G7 and is already preparing an in
person summit with Putin.

Instead of playing nice, Australia needs to stand it's ground. We
could take a leaf from Canada’s book and remind America what
Australia already does for the US.

It’s time to put our assets on the table.

We host Pine Gap, outside of America it is one of their most
valuable asset, and the NW Cape antenna enables the US to talk to
its submarines in the Indian Ocean. We could give him seven days
to remove the marines on Darwin off Australian soil.

America is no longer a reliable ally – hopefully that will
change, but in the meantime we can’t keep assuming that America
has our back, Trump clearly doesn’t have anyone’s back except his
own.

We need not just to be thinking about how much we need to spend
on Defence – we need to think carefully about what alliances and
weapons we need in the future to protect our country. Trade and
National Security cannot be easily separated. They go hand in
hand - you're either a partner or you're not. Making Australia
make again means using our resources to make our own products.
This is crucial for our future prosperity.

I am running three Veterans for the Senate, Ange Harper in
Queensland, Glenn Kolomeitz in NSW and Rex Patrick in South
Australia. All of my candidates understand what it is to put your
lives on the line for our country. They are hard-working and
honest and will put their states first.
