It&#39;s Easter, but I haven&#39;t been able to hide away and pretend I&#39;m dead for 3 days 😄 So thinking about some doom and gloom scenarios, I wonder where little Australia will end up? So if lines are drawn between the US and Europe, where do you think Albanese will side. The US, or the Commonwealth? #auspol #Scifi #Australia

@chestas Albo is no leader, he's a follower. US the whole way unfortunately. Hopefully our political system is robust enough that it won't solely be his decision (unlike the USA at present).

@chestas probably US. But probably with less enthusiasm than in the past.

@chestas How is this even a question? Are you folks participating in Eurovision on a regular basis?! No brainer, really. 🙃

@chestas unfortunately what I'd like to think, and what I suspect, are two different things.

@chestas It's China that is the pivot for me. And AIUI, it is US vs China. So very likely (EU vs US) & (China vs US) become (EU + China) vs USA. Can't see UK not going with EU. And A.A. doesn't appear stupid enough to go against our local superpower and major buyer of our exports PRC. Especially if doing so also meant losing EU trade and military.

@chestas I'm in the "anything could happen" camp. The outcome could be something we haven't yet imagined.

@chestas Now do a poll that asks people which one of those options they want.
