Trump-like figure becomes Deputy PM in Australia


The Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, also the National Party leader, Michael McCormack, has been ousted by his own party, and replaced by a more Trump-like figure, Barnaby Joyce, who calls for more coal production, a tougher stance against China, and support for family farmers. Apparently, big business in Australia is worried by the move, and the US Biden admin might have some reservations, too. From World Socialist Web Site.
