- Description
- Donald Trump is pondering whether a UFC cage could become a permanent fixture on the South Lawn of the White House after a fight takes place there on his 80th birthday.
Today, Sally Jenkins from The Atlantic magazine on Trump’s deep links to the mixed martial arts organisation.
We explore how bringing the sport’s ‘savagery’ to the seat of power in the US is all part of Trump’s norm-breaking style and aggressive approach to politics.
Editor's note: This episode includes the following description of UFC bouts; “you're watching crotch kicking, bare knuckle brawling, anything goes, squeezing the throat of an opponent.” However, the UFC website states it adopted the Unified Rules of MMA in November 2000, these include fouls for throat strikes and groin attacks. Fighters are also required to wear gloves.

- The federal government is facing another uphill battle to convince the US against imposing a 12.5 per cent tariff rate on Australian products. The Trump administration says the raised tariffs will apply to 60 countries, including Australia, for failing to crack down on forced labour in their supply chains. Australian Industry Group chief executive Innes Willox says businesses feel like it's "back to square one" in terms of their trading relationship with America. Mr Willox says it's not surprising that the United States would want to "come back and have a second bite at tariffs after the US Supreme Court knocked over their first attempt at a global tariff regime." But he says the way the US has gone about it is surprising. "In the Australian context, we have what's called the Modern Slavery Act, which has been in place since 2018. Australia has a very well-worn, very well understood regime, which is very tough on businesses, costly for businesses to follow through. "When questioned as ...

As for recent softening in the housing market, she said this was an area where rising interest rates had a rapid effect. "Conditions in the housing market eased in recent months, and that partly reflects tighter monetary policy." She said.
Senator Bragg asked the RBA governor Michele Bullock about whether she has given any thought to the risk of people going into negative equity. She said practically no-one was in negative equity and it was something the bank's financial stability team does monitor.

- Economic growth nearly grinded to a halt in the first three months of year as the war in the Middle East and rising interest rates began to take their toll. Australia's economy grew at a sluggish pace of 0.3 per cent in the March quarter, much weaker than the 0.9 per cent recorded in the previous quarter. The rapid slowdown in the quarterly rate of growth coincided with the Reserve Bank's decision to lift interest rates in February and March. On an annual basis, the economy grew by 2.5 per cent. The ABC spoke to a hairdresser, builder and a greengrocer, who all say they're feeling the pinch. They say they're copping a double whammy from higher interest rates and inflation, and their customers are cutting back on spending or cancelling jobs all together. Spending on luxury items barely rose, at just 0.1 per cent. But household spent most of their money on essentials, driven by an 11.7 per cent lift on electricity and fuel as the oil crisis ramped up.
Of the 19 sectors the Aust...
