Health minister Mark Butler has been a huge part of this Labor campaign. He is in Sydney doing early media and is asked how a future Albanese government would handle Trump.

He tells the ABC:

We’ll continue to press the national interest that Australia has. Our exporters, our households, or businesses. But we’ve got a better deal than any other country in the world, so I’m not sure what Peter Dutton says he could have done differently.

We had meetings at very high levels and no country on the planet got a better deal. What we’re dealing with now is the global reverberations from that.

That’s why this is the worst time to think about shifting to a Peter Dutton prime ministership that would raise your taxes, cut your services, and spend $600 billion precious dollars of taxpayers’ money on a nuclear power plant.
