Talked to @smh's @michaelkoziol about Trump's pick for 🇺🇸Ambassador to🇦🇺. Quoted alongside @sophgaston:
“By every indication in the public record, Brat shares the president’s policy views, and hails from the right-wing of the Republican Party. While his views on defence issues, AUKUS and critical minerals are less clear, if he is confirmed, it’s a safe bet that he will accurately reflect the White House position on those issues.”
