Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the explanation.
What does it say about current events when a government official inflating figures from 1500 to 1500000 seems credible?

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the explanation.I was making fun of Donald Trump and Sean Spicer lying all the time. Basically, after day one of his presidency, Trump was claiming "1.5 million people" showed up to his inauguration and called it "the largest inauguration day crowd of all time," when you could see from overhead pictures that Obama's 2009 crowd was like three times as big.
Another perspective on Trump and Turnbull's conversation, along with comments from readers of this newspaper in Australia that were most interesting:
LABOR: TURNBULL MUST CONFIRM OR DENY

Just as a side note that i could not help noticing: Prime Minster Turnbull was apparently trashing Trump in a video or recording before Trump was elected and when Hillary was assumed to be the winner of the election, and Trump and his staff recently became privy to Turnbull trashing Trump behind closed doors.
It happened 2 years before the War started, according to many (most?) Americans.After hearing his black history month speech, I'd kinda like to see Trump's ANZAC Day speech. It would probably be 75% about him putting Churchill's bust back in the White House.
(Of course it wouldn't -- that would require Trump to know something about ANZAC Day.)
Um, I think you need to watch it again. The whole point was how D-list they are, and how much they wish they were Australians.Not flight of the conchords....
The third most popular folk parady duo? I do. I do not think they wish they were australian. Murray wouldnt manage them anymore and you want that kind of powerhouse on your sideUm, I think you need to watch it again.

Now, now... Be fair. Trump wasn't just talking about the MLK bust. He used that to bring up how much the media hates him. It's only reasonable that he talk about his own current struggles at a meet to honor Black History.After hearing his black history month speech, I'd kinda like to see Trump's ANZAC Day speech.

Guess Trump lost the Aussie vote.
Look at the posters in the back of Murray's office. "It's near Australia!" being their main tourism gimmick. (better than their stinking mud and jumping off a bridge. Seriously, those are their big attractions)The third most popular folk parady duo? I do. I do not think they wish they were australian.

Donald Trump rages at 'dumb deal' with Australia over refugee resettlement – live
Outrageous. Simply outrageous. To all of you saying "just give hime a chance", this is where he blew that chance, IMHO. As if the insult weren't bad enough, lying about it as well?
Australia accepts plenty of refugees. We don't make the silly security "arguments" about refugees.There is a lot of speculation and gossip about this call. But as with Britain and the USA Australia is such a long established ally I doubt if it will change the overall friendship and alliance.
To be honest I do not have much sympathy with the Australians or the Americans on this one. Both are in effect refusing to accept refugees or at least moaning about it. Both rejections are based on irrational fears of terrorism and being swamped by a brown tide from Muslim countries. Compassion should trump the vastly exaggerated fears about security here and the ugly underlying racism that is probably the real reason for these policies of exclusion.
No. We have always accepted refugees from everywhere. We've never denied any for fear of terrorism.But wasnt mr speedo doing just that?
You know what happened to the last guy who tried?An obvious prelude to certain annexation of Oz.
