The Return of the American Conman

New Politics: Australian Politics

We analyze the aftermath of the US election, where Donald Trump’s victory signals the return of the conman, criminal and clown show. Vote Dutton, Get Rinehart? We ask if voting for Peter Dutton is bringing Gina Rinehart’s influence into federal politics, and the answer is probably “yes”. We also cover the current state of the economy, proposed changes to HECS debt policies, and the continued shortcomings of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, which has yet to meet public expectations. #auspol
