Can We Ever Really "Turn Off" America? - The Quicky
Description
It's often said that "when America sneezes, the world catches a cold," and never has that felt more true than now.
We explore why Australians and those around the world are so utterly obsessed with US politics and the actions of President Donald Trump, and whether we can ever truly tune out from the American-ness.
And in headlines today, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is spruiking Australia's world-first social media age ban during a jam-packed final day at the United Nations General Assembly; Australian opposition leader Sussan Ley has been accused of going rogue after it was revealed she had written to US Republicans vowing to reverse Labor’s pledge to support Palestinian statehood; The former CEO of the Wiggles has launched legal action against the company saying he believes he was dismissed without reasonable basis for complaining about blue Wiggle Anthony Field hiring his friends and family; Harry Potter and Little Women star Emma Watson has spoken publicly for the first time since she was banned from driving for 6 months for speeding
