Australian exporters may face tariffs of up to 20 percent as US President Donald Trump keeps flagging higher baselines.
Trump revealed the range for the new minimum tariff earlier this week, and the pressure's on the Albanese-led Government to strike a better deal.
Australian correspondent Murray Olds says it's unclear how the Government will proceed here.

And finally, comedian Bobby Lee says he thinks he was
cut from the Six in the City sequel series because
he was too woke. Bobby played the co host of
Carrie's podcast on the first two seasons of and Just
Like That, and he says the producers have cut the
woke elements from the show, such as minority characters. HBO
says this isn't true, and Bobby wasn't invited back for
(00:39):
season three because Carry isn't hosting the podcast anymore. She's
writing a novel.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of Mind
for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
That's the way it used to be, writing, not talking.
Murray Old's Ossie Correspondent with us. Now, I mus you
went to that you like a bit of Six in
the City.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
No, No, I'm afraid I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It was a good time. It was a good time,
it really was. Now, how's your government feeling about the
old tariffs with Trump?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Again? Well, to be honest, not bugget of mine know.
I don't think they know either. I mean, depending on
the day of the week, which way the wind is blowing.
If Donald Trump's come over is still in place, I mean,
how do you pick this guy? He says, where's the quote?
I've got a new tariff for the world. Well, what
does that mean? You're weirdo. I mean, I don't know
(01:29):
how countries around the world are supposed to try and
run economies. Your country, Australia, but he you know, India,
how are you supposed to run when he changes from
Monday to Tuesday. You don't know what you're dealing with.
And even the opposition over here, which has been howling
growlb and easy to go and bend the knee in
the White House and go to the Oval Office and
get dressed down like everybody else. Even the opposition is saying,
(01:52):
you know what, it's a bit strange with what we're
dealing with now. I mean, Donald Trump's just blown up
all the rules. Australia's got a massive trade surplace in
the United States. I mean, you know, I mean, a
Trump's tariff should not apply to Australia full stop. And
yet hear we have the European Union bending the knee,
and you know, everybody else that are falling. Look Japan
(02:12):
falling over themselves to try to pease there's weird. So
the Australian government really doesn't know what's going on. And
I don't think Donald Trump does that?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Do you think? Do you think muzz? I mean there is.
It seems to me there are two potential ways to
deal with this, you know adequately. One is that you
do the kistarma and you suck up like you wouldn't believe.
The second is that you do in New Zealand and
you just you just try to hide away and don't
ruin any attention. But has has Albo run the risk
of potentially maybe just antagonized Trump just even so slightly
(02:42):
like you know, he's not doesn't sound like a Trump fanboy.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
He's not a Trump fan boy. But you know, to
be honest, I mean, does Donald Trump even know where
Australia is? Is he sure we're not Austria? I mean,
the guy is just the weirdest duck in the whole pond,
don't you think. I mean, how the hell do you
deal with the guy? Well? How do you draw up
policies to try and deal with Washington?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He don't ask me. This is baffling the most smart
people in the world. I've got no bloody idea. Jeez,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
It's just weird. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Now, is this pro Palestinian protest march going to happen?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Well, not if the government has its way. This is
a proposed march across the Sydney Harbor Bridge on Sunday.
The group here in Sydney is called the Palestine Action Group.
It's been protesting for the last couple of years, just
about every weekend and places like Hyde Park. But given
what's going on in Gaza now, the images we've seen
of starving children alike, the Palestine Action Group has applied
(03:39):
for permission, as is required out of the law, has
asked the police for permission to march on the Sydney
Harbor Bridge on Sunday. The state government has said not
on your nelly. The bridge is a major artery through
the city. We can't have a block for a protest.
The group itself says, right, if that's the case, if
we're not going to be allowed to be going to
go to the Supreme Court to challenge that decision. And
(04:01):
by the way, don't you think that closing the bridge
for a movie scene a couple of three weeks back.
The Sydney Marathon's coming up in two weeks. That's going
to be closed for that. Yeah, the Pride March, that
Anthony Alberanizi March than a year ago. The bridge was
shot for that as well. So don't tell me you
don't close the bridge for big events. We're planning a
big event, so it's going to go to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It looks like that's a fair point that you make. Okay,
Now tell me what's been going on with this childcare story?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Oh dreadful, just beyond measure. This is on top of
what's happened down in Melbourne. That guy Joshua Brown charged
with more than seventy child abuse offenses. That guy you
know here, they worked at more than twenty I think
twenty three or twenty four child center in about four years.
I mean, how many jobs have you had? I mean,
this guy's gone for.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
He's Yeah, maybe we're gonna have to leave it there.
Sorry about that. Murray Old's Australia Cross. Wonder what's going
on here? To give you the you don't need too
much detail, do your work as been accused of bashing
a one year old in Queensland. So maybe they just
need to have a good old look at who their
letting look after children. What do you think?
