I think they spat the dummy because they had just sent millions of dollars of mask, ventilators and test kits to Australia, via Twiggy Forrest, instead of to the US who were screaming at them ( literally) for it. As payback for the US not getting what it wanted, for the price of a rose garden dinner, Trump got Scomo to poke China in the eye on the world stage, for him .
And because Scomo is brainless, he did Trump's bidding. When John Howard has to dial in from Singapore to fix your level of stuff up, you know in Coalition terms that you have ****'d up
