Australian prime minister denies Trump canceled refugee deal in testy call
The Washington Post had reported that Mr. Trump lost his cool when discussing the deal, which requires that the U.S. resettle refugees from among more than 1,500 asylum seekers being held on small Pacific islands.
According to the Post, Mr. Trump called the pact “the worst deal ever” and accused Australia of exporting the “next Boston bombers.”
But Mr. Turnbull denied that, saying that “the president assured me he would follow through” on the deal. “I’m not going to comment on these reports out of the U.S. on this conversation,” the prime minister said.

We need to bring the refugee's here, they are our problem and we have kept them incarcerated for too long, in conditions worse than prison.
One of the few things that bring me shame as an Australian.

I'd rather our leaders BE REAL with other world leaders instead of snip kissing and fake platitudes.
Apparently diplomacy to some means faking it. Be who you are and let the chips fall where they may.
That is how people build respect with one another.

A good response would be to tax the US companies in here raking in profits and paying minimal royalties, if you look at how many there are raking in huge tax free profits here it would astound you.
That tax deal cut back in the 50's to benefit US Companies in favour of our own is a very bad deal and we should be looking at that. I think its time we stopped handing over our sovereign wealth to the USA for nothing, other countries pressured into doing this should do the same.
