I am not sure what I find more annoying stupid in the #TomLowrey post ...
1) That for one moment he believes that the #USA is putting 100% tariffs on Chinese #BEV because of a perceived security risk, rather than a threat to the jobs of the #USA auto workers who make up a large block of support for the #Democrats that they can't afford to lose at this crucial time;
2) that he is incapable of understanding the motives of #SenatorJamesPatterson which sure has hell has nothing to do with the security risks to the country or the people, but is all about sowing fear & division in the Australian electorate;
3) that this is clearly designed to put doubt in the minds of potential buyers of #BatteryElectricVehicles which provides support to the #fossilFuel lobby that donates to the morally bankrupt #LiberalParty & the #LNP -
