I second this sentiment. Increase import tarriffs in jumps of 5% every three years until (for Australia) 10% on British Empire and Commonwealth (ask what the Islands of the Pacific want and agree), including Maldives, Nauru, Tuvalu, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, 20% with 'Nations of Regional Significance', that is, Indonesia, Thailand and New Caledonia, 40% on everyone else and... 100% on United States if they still believe in a lie called Manifest Destiny - something I suspect Trump doesn't believe in.

Kim, is he still delivering for you? I'll ask again in the lead up to the next election.

We can also prohibit future foreign investment and, in Australia, revoke the Double Taxation Bill, that only political parties accepted by Yanks ever wanted anyway.

We also didn't want the GST, I objected to it before it was implemented, wrote to the then Prime Minister, John Howard saying so, as indirect taxation has been seen to increase the gap between rich and poor since Roman times, and that little vermin wrote a $50 000 fine into the legislation for criticising it
