'This masks other problems': Matt Canavan warns Australia's relationship with US isn't fixed after Trump's tariff decision
Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has warned the good news on tariffs is just a 'mask' for bigger problems in Australia's relationship with the US, and called on Albanese to work harder to meet Donald Trump. The World According To Rowan Dean is available to view for subscribers. Join to watch the full episode. Despite Australia holding steady on the lowest rate of international tariffs for the US at 10%, Mr Canavan told Sky News host Rowan Dean on Friday Australia has to do more to strengthen ties with the U.S. government. 'It's great that we're not facing the higher tariffs as some other countries (are), but there is another side of the relationship here that seems to be just going missing, because the Prime Minister's missing,' he said. Mr Canavan said it is a strong concern that Anthony Albanese has made little effort to engage with President Trump since his election in November 2024, and believed the relationship cannot be mended until this has changed. 'The Prime Minister hasn't taken the effort to go to the United States and meet Donald Trump when 20 other world leaders have done so, including the President of Mauritania,' he said. 'Small countries in Africa have got audiences with the President, but our Prime Minister hasn't. 'It's getting close on a year now since the President was elected, and it's hard to explain why the Prime Minister is seemingly running scared from Washington DC.' Another key issue Mr Canavan pointed towards as an example for fractured tensions between the US and Australia was the approach to defence. Mr Canavan said the government's lack of response towards a public signal from the US government to increase defence manufacturing with Australia, as well as Australia's own defence spending, is still a simmering issue. 'The U.S. administration has signalled through Pete Hegseth that they'd like to work with Australia to develop more manufacturing of 115-millimetre artillery shells, guided weapons systems and radar repair facilities,' he said. 'There's been basically zero response from the Australian government, certainly nothing in public. 'The US administration at the same time have asked us to lift our defence spending, which is reasonable if they're going to help us with our industrial capacity.'

Disruptive protest ‘clowns' need to be stopped
Victorian Shadow Energy and Resources Minister David Davis shared his views on the growing disruption of protesters, particularly across Victoria, urging for stronger laws to be set in place. 'We need a permit system, we need move on laws, we need a suite of laws that actually helps regulate and control a lot of these clowns,' Mr Davis told Sky News Australia. 'I say this as the fault, especially in Victoria of the Allen labor government, they have been very weak, they have been tardy, they have not been prepared to stand up to send clear messages. 'Victorians are tiring of this, they don't want our reputation damaged in this way, and I think Victorians actually want action … in Victoria it's been a free-for-all and it's quite wrong.'
