We should be learning mandarin. It's the most spoken language in our part of the world. And yes, we do live in Asia. We all watch the US election, but these days what the President of China does matters more. 

Just remember this - more than half the world's population lives in our immediate north and north west. In fact that's always been true. They fell behind for 200 years during the Industrial revolution and age of colonialism, but they have now caught up.

It doesn't matter how many racist Hansonites there are in our country. China is our biggest trading partner. japan is second.

India, China, Japan, Indonesia and south-east asia are growing and will be paying our wages for the next fifty years whether we like it or not. A peaceful and prosperous Asia means a peaceful and prosperous Australia. An Asia without peace and security is terrible for us. 

Drumpf's election is going to force a massive rethink of our foreign policy. If America led by Drumpf wants to blow up the Asian economy to restore their global hegemony, that's not in our economic or national security interests. The ANZUS alliance is a relic of a time when we feared Japanese militarism, and then communism. The only reason we hold onto the US alliance is that we fear that China's rise may not be peaceful, or that they will want to interfere in our political system.

If we can trade with China while retaining our democratic political system and security, we'll be sweet. 

Yes pretty much this. I have concerns about their interference in our domestic affairs, it's happening a lot now but you'd be naive to think that the US aren't doing it also. It's very complex but Trump's election is a big opportunity for China.

Bare minimum Trump will want EU nations to spend more on Defense and pay their own way. Countries like germany are only spending 1.5 % of gdp on defense 


I agree ... all those countries have starting moving towards 2% as they now see the  threat from Russia,,,,,,but even if they got to 2%, those countries can't defender themself with out USA or with out creating a single European army , and no body in USA, UK or Australia wants that, because we know who will end up in control  of a single European army

my final take...Trump going to get fucking smashed. ...the idea the Trump can shit on women, Shit on black, shit on Mexicans ,  have a shit ground organization that getting fucking killed by HRC and Dem ground organization , and be a dumb old white guy and win, no fucking way

to watch
forget watching Florida or NC,  Trump has lost those states (and election)  it about how far Trump get smashed and how fuck the republican party become because of Trump

the states to watch are 
Ohio and Iowa
Georgia  and Arizona

Watch to see how close Georgia and Arizona become blue states

Oh come on, Malcolm Turnbull. Trump shares literally none of the values you just mentioned. Not international order, not free trade, not democracy and the separation of powers, not fighting discrimination. What a tosspot.

Wow... quite incredible. One of the most significant political upsets of our time. Say what you will about Trump but the Americans have overwhelmingly voted to reject the status quo. As an outsider following the Wikileaks over the past few months the level of corruption in the Democratic party was staggering. I'm sure the Republicans aren't squeaky clean either but Trump at least is an outsider himself, and so he's the hammer with which the people have chosen to bludgeon the establishment. I'm not huge on either candidate but I strongly disagree with the TPP, so in that respect I'm happy that Trump won.

Nice victory speech by Trump too. Kept it simple and showed respect for his defeated opponent.

I'm sure Sanders and his supporters are feeling very hard done by as well. The cards were stacked against them by the DNC, and that almost certainly contributed to their own downfall.

Anyway - it's pretty clear that this is a culmination of a number of social and economic factors in the US, and I can't say that I've followed them closely enough to have very strong opinions, but I wish the USA (and us) good luck.

Edit: Just remembered USA v Mexico World Cup qualifier next week... gonna be spicy :laugh:

Drumpf is going to make Australia spend more on defence as well, if we still want ANZUS.

And it is a fair call by USA too. Too often everyone has been taking the piss out of America expecting Americans to fund everyone's National Security.
