The Impact of Trump on Australian Politics

Donald Trump's influence extends beyond the United States, significantly impacting the Australian political landscape. As the election approaches, the popularity of Peter Dutton, the Liberal Party leader, has waned due to the association with Trump and his controversial policies. Polls indicate a significant shift against the Liberal Party, with the Labor Party predicted to maintain its majority despite initial expectations for a conservative win. The backlash against Trump, which includes widespread protests in Australia, reflects a broader global sentiment that has detrimental effects on the candidates aligned with his ideologies.

I tried everything and snipd is the no 1 app for podcasts if you like to remember things. Just tap your headphones three times and a snipped is created, transcribed, and saved to you library.

I’ve been using Snipd for about a year and this app has been life changing. I listen to about 17 hours of podcasts a week and I want to take notes on 95% of them. Snipd makes it so easy to do. I can triple click my headphones and record a snip. The app also improves rapidly which is welcomed. It’s an easy subscription for me to pay.
