Remember when President Trump had his first conversation with Australia's prime minister and, inexplicably, the conversation turned into a slam-down-the-receiver fight?
Maybe Trump knew something. The ostensible issue at the time was refugees and a stanky little deal President Obama made for America to take in Australia's high-risk illegal refugees from Islamic hellholes who had paid smugglers to bring them to Australia's shores illegally. The illegal entrants were being awarded for their illegality with American residence and citizenship, something they will eventually come to abhor before one of them lashes out at us through a terror attack or some other antisocial act, and it takes only one.
No wonder President Trump was angry. The rest of us were angry, too.
But it's baffling that the problem came from Australia, a longtime ally of the U.S. Now a new investigative report suggests a reason why: turns out Australia had been meddling in our election, in a failed bid to ensure Hillary Clinton's victory. The Hill reports that Downer had earlier dispensed some $25 million in contributions to the Clinton Foundation back in 2006, leaving Australia in a position to ask for some fancy favors from the Democrats. It's far from the only instance. Clarice Feldman notes in an email: "The only documented meddling in the election was by Australians." She sent links to stories showing that illegal campaign donations went to Bernie Sanders from Australian sources, which resulted in a fine for Sanders, and the Australian Labor Party sent operatives to work against President Trump. Meddling, indeed.
It's the Australian ruling party, the Liberal Party, that meddled most. Turns out Alexander Downer, the supposedly untainted, dispassionate outside source that fingered one of President Trump's young advisers in London who had had contacts with Russian sources as a likely national security concern,

Not so fair dinkum
In order to win, President Trump had to defeat;
16 seasoned primary opponents
hillary
THe media
Russia
Most of the Republicans in Congress
Australia
A bunch of hookers
Who knows what else
Soros has his people Down Under too.
I’ve vacationed with Aussies - the ones I’ve talked to were nice but absolutely freaked out by the “gun culture” - they were convinced (by the Left) that it’s like a Wild West free-for-all here thanks to 2A.
I’m not at all surprised they would want Hillary.
These days cant tell the difference between a Jackaroo and a Sheila.
This has less to do with Australia than it has to do with corrupt Leftist politicians.
Look at the excerpt: "...Former Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer's role in securing $25 million in aid from his country to help the Clinton Foundation fight AIDS is chronicled in decade-old government memos archived on the Australian foreign ministry's website. Downer and former President Clinton jointly signed a Memorandum of Understanding in February 2006 that spread out the grant money over four years for a project to provide screening and drug treatment to AIDS patients in Asia..."
The first thing that jumps out at me is...why would the Australian government give $25 million to The Clinton Foundation to fight AIDS in Asia?
Why?
Does anyone doubt there are probably dozens and dozens of organizations based in Australia, if not simply the government itself that would rather have this money to spend, its own cash, its own prestige, but...instead they give it to The Clinton Foundation? I considered that perhaps the Clinton Foundation had infrastructure already in place, blah blah blah. I don't buy it.
THIS WAS PAYOLA, INFLUENCE PEDDLING, NOTHING ELSE.
Reprehensible. The Clinton Foundation is a criminal racketeering enterprise, run by two hillbilly grifters who think they are above the law.
Hahahahahah. Good one. Great...:)
I want an audit of the Clinton Foundation. I bet the money was actually spent on politicsnot charity.
Ah, but they are good friends to America, and besides that their meddling was welcomed to thwart the growing support Trump was garnering. Thus no harm no foul. /sarcasm
If anyone points out a Democrat scandal, the Democrats tend to say “everybody does it”.
Well, apparently when it comes to election meddling, every country does it.
But the media has been told to obsess over Russia and Trump. That’s the accepted Narrative.
Don’t forget the Australian college students who were flown over and paid by Labor to work on the Bernie Sanders campaign.
The first thing that jumps out at me is...why would the Australian government give $25 million to The Clinton Foundation to fight AIDS in Asia?
Why?

Here’s why:
“Alexander Downer turned to the Clinton Foundation HIV/Aids Initiative Inc apparently because he believed their PR. The “Foundation’s impressive track record providing practical assistance with health system strengthening” turned out to exist only in marketing brochures.”
To read the back story on all of this muckety mess & massive corruption by Bill/CF, below are two links. The stories are from 2016, but if you are interested in the details regarding Australia, Bill Clinton & the Clinton Foundation, it’s a ‘good’ read. Michael Smith did this story in 2 parts -
Part 1

Warning signs for Australia that Bill Clinton was way off the straight and narrow in PNG (Papua New Guinea)
http://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2016/08/warning-signs-for-australia-that-bill-clinton-was-way-off-the-straight-and-narrow-in-png.html
Excerpt:
As at February 2006, the Clinton Foundation’s climate change, global initiative, carbon-accounting and HIV/Aids operation in the Asia Pacific region had a total staff of one - Ruby Shang.
Ruby wasn’t overly taxed, because beyond invoicing, the Clinton Foundation didn’t actually do much. In between boning up on HIV epidemiology and counting carbon, Ruby was also able to hang on to a full time job running the Caterpillar earthmoving dealership in Vietnam.
The Foundation could not withstand scrutiny at the best of times, but even Clinton saw the vulnerability in having just one pretend employee who did everything all over Asia. A few more token appointments would be needed to satisfy the AusAid MOU.
When the Australian MOU was signed in Sydney, Clinton’s PNG head honcho to-be was 16,000 kilometres away working in New York. Not in medicine, or management, or a charity. The Clinton Foundation’s putative PNG boss was an entry level accounts payable clerk processing compo claims (or as Zachary Katz describes himself on his LinkedIn history, as a ‘Payment Operations Associate”).
Zachary Katz graduated from college in 2000 with a BA in earth sciences. In his only job since graduating, he “worked to eliminate backlogs of refunded, retained, and outstanding payments; responded to inquiries; investigated failed payments and established a network of contacts”. It’s not the sort of CV likely to win many multi-million dollar HIV/Aids contracts.
It’s shocking, but the Clinton Foundation appeared to be much more interested in raising money and double-dipping on funding in Papua New Guinea than it was in helping people with HIV.
There is no other way to explain its actions.
Katz the New Yorker started working for the Clinton Foundation in June 2006 as a “country analyst”.
Careful lest the Aussies retaliate with Drop Bears.
More Demonrat collusion, they are selling out America for personal gain. This whole organized crime gain needs to go to prison.
Thanks...that is great information, much appreciated.
Good God. One person running it...part time, which means it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. No surprise there.
This stuff makes me want to vomit.
My disbelief was in wondering why many organizations in Australia who probably do EXACTLY these kinds of outreach programs didn’t raise holy hell with their government, wondering why they sent $25 million to an American organization when they should have received those same funds.
I guess we aren’t the only ones with a corrupt government...
Looks like the liberals in Australia are just as much NOT the party of the real people as they are not here either.
