    I disagree. We’ve already elected our Donald Trump, and we did so before Donald Trump even became US President. Ours was called Tony Abbott. Good riddance.

      Abbott was nothing like Trump. If anything, our closest Prime Minister in recent times was Scotty from Marketing, who I would still say is a pretty far cry.

        Scotty was absolutely Trump like. I’ll go with at least Abbot held a hose, but neoliberal scum hangs on both.

      Abbott, love him or loathe him (likely the latter), has a deep respect for the institutions of this country and is fiercely loyal to his friends.

      Abbott is an absolute bonehead but he serves with a higher calling than his own self enrichment.
