Donald Trump: good for Australia?
07 November 2016 by News DeskDonald Trump could be the next President of the USA, so what does it mean for Australia?
Donald Trump was recently described by Australians as arrogant, aggressive, erratic, narrow-minded and superficial.
Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, was described in the same poll as being intelligent, hardworking, capable, understanding of the problems facing America and good in a crisis.
Recent opinion polls conducted across Australia reveal that the majority of Aussies prefer Hilary Clinton to Donald Trump as the next US President.
The US election is important to Australia as the two countries are now moving ever-closer, especially militarily.
Australia is now a key strategic nation and will increasingly be a major player in world affairs due to its proximity to, and links with, China and the emerging economies of the Asian-Pacific region.
