So Swiss Post have also announced that they will pause shipping to the US because of confusion over the tariffs. This won’t be the last postal service to take this decision (Australia Post made its own suspension announcement this morning)

So far we haven’t heard anything from Don Farrell about the pause in sending goods to the US, which seems like a mistake given the amount of small businesses who do send their products to the US.

No one in government will admit this, but there is a hesitancy to criticise the US, or even speak about what is happening, because one – Australia is still trying to work out its own tariff deal with the US and two, Aukus looms over everything.

Which – think about it. If we can’t criticise an ally because we are worried about a strategic agreement, then our sovereignty is already threatened.

There is nothing to be gained from being this close to the US. If it is not Trump, it is Vance. How do we think that is going to work out for us?
