Political Critiques and Campaign Dynamics in Week One

It’s only been a week, but the election campaign is already off script. 

Trump’s tariffs have landed like a grenade in the middle of the campaign, with the announcement of a 10 per cent tax on all Australian goods bound for the US providing a real world test for both leaders.

Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno, on Dutton’s missteps, Albanese’s reset and the global forces shaping the campaign.
