Anthony Albanese eventually received the much-awaited phone visit from US President Donald Trump on Monday after winning the election.
The leader thanked the president for “reaching out” at a press conference, calling the conversation “warm and good.”
” I won’t go into all of the individual comments he made, but he was very kind in his kindness and praise for me. He fully understood the [election ] outcome and expressed his desire to work with me in the future.
While they discussed taxes ( as well as AUKUS), the in-depth discussion of that contentious subject was postponed.
According to popular culture, Trump adores a success. Trump responded to a question about the American election that he had in Washington before that day by saying he was “very helpful” with Albanese.
The president said,” I don’t know anything about the poll other than the person that won, he’s quite good, he’s a friend of mine.” Albanese described her as being “very, very good to me, and very polite to me.” I have no idea who the other man was who attacked him.
Given all the efforts made by the government and his other foes to portray Peter Dutton as” Trump-lite,” there is more than a touch of humor in this.
Trump is likely to meet with the prime minister immediately, possibly in June. Alberta has been given a gathering invitation at the G7 in Canada. Trump might or might not be present, but there might be a meeting to discuss this.
After Trump announced a 100 % tax on all shows entering the United States, the government is ready to defend the local movie industry.
No one should be questioned that we will stand up for the right of the American monitor industry, according to Arts Minister Tony Burke, who stated,” Nobody should be in doubt.”
Albanese’s first fresh term overseas visit will be to Indonesia.
Albanese stated that his first international trip would be to Indonesia. Given the significance of the diplomatic relationship and the new rejection of Indonesia’s request to basic planes in Papua, this will be a particularly significant attend.
Prabowo Subianto, the president of Indonesia, thanked Albanese for his victory in a telephone on Sunday.
Albanese asked the president to make his first overseas visit during the call, and the president responded that it would be” a great honor” to do so.
In the meantime, Labor’s rival groups may be tussling over the victory’s rewards in the coming days. Although the factions generally agree on the frontbench account, Albanese, given his enormous power and the big win, will be able to establish his will wherever he wants to in this process. The primary minister assigns the portfolio.
Although there will be modifications, work options anticipate a lot of stability between the new and old ministries, particularly at the higher levels.
Best case users have recently been confirmed by Albanese, including Treasurer Jim Chalmers, Foreign Minister Penny Wong, Defense Minister Marles, Finance Minister Katy Gallagher, and Trade Minister Don Farrell. They will be in their current departments.
Tanya Plibersek, the culture secretary, is most interested in moving. When asked about her future in the environment during the battle, Albanese said he had already confirmed she would be in the cabinet.
Over the years, Albanese and Plibersek have had a subpar connection. After the previous vote, she had anticipated becoming training minister, but she was shocked to be given the position of environment minister.
I want Labor to be the biological party of state, Albanese stated at his press conference.
Watch out for Angus Taylor.
What revolves revolves revolves about. Hollie Hughes, a Democrat lawmaker from NSW, has stoked Taylor’s management ambitions after blaming ghost treasurer Angus Taylor for her preselection defeat because he supported the candidate who beat her.
On Monday, Hughes stated to the ABC that she would not help Taylor as the party’s replacement head.
She claimed that the opponent’s economic storyline “was just absolutely non-existent.” What has Taylor been doing for three decades, I’m not entirely convinced.
There was no taxes plan, and I believe the financial team considerably let down the political team, our members, our supporters, and Australians in general because they had no money to sell, not to say, and had obviously never done the work that was needed.
She praised assistant chief Sussan Ley for doing” a fantastic job over the past three ages” and for which we can firmly rely on her.
Peter Dutton, who lost his seat to Dickson in Saturday’s retreat, has four names in the running for the position. They are Taylor, Ley, Andrew Hastie, and Dan Tehan, the defense official, for immigration. No candidates have already submitted their nomination.
I definitely want to be able to influence change within the party itself, according to Hastie, who told The West Australian over the weekend, and what that looks like may be up to my colleagues to decide.
