We haven't had a recession for 25 years in Australia. It's partly because of our trade with China.

There's been an instant desire to try to take some of the rhetoric that has done so well for Mr. Trump and apply it to Australian politics.

Surely it's time for climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies.

Australia is this former British colony at the foot of Asia. We've been involved - we've been in lockstep with America in every battle you have fought for a century. We were there in Vietnam. We were there in Korea. We were there in Iraq. We were there in Afghanistan. We are slightly apprehensive about the rise of China.

All our best heroes are losers

We haven't had a recession for 25 years in Australia. It's partly because of our trade with China. China's been doing relatively well. So some of the tensions around a low-wage economy haven't quite happened here in the same way as they have in the United States.

Australia is very good friends with China, perhaps better friends than America is.

I think there's just a lot of apprehension in Australia about the Trump victory. It's not that there are - some people are supportive, of course, and some people are dismayed by it. I think one thing that draws most people together - maybe 80 percent of the people - is a very strong view of American leadership and the American alliance.
