Analysis: Trump's Iran Decision Makes America Great Again
By Wadda Kok, North America Political Editor
Thankfully the three stooges of European politics (Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel, and Boris Johnson) failed to convince the US President to stay in the Iran nuclear deal. Leaving Washington empty-handed like paupers in a Dickens novel should remind them of the United States place in the world.
The much-hyped consequences of Trump's decision are no more dangerous or far-reaching than being urinated on by a Russian prostitute in a Moscow hotel room. We all know that Iran is a meek and timid nation that will remain in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and accept new sanctions without so much as a whimper.
President Trump's promise that the US would impose "the highest level of economic sanctions" is a brilliant strategic move. It shows that his administration is intent on the sort of unilateral punitive action and short-term thinking that makes America great again. In taking this decision, Trump has avoided the sort of left-leaning graduated approach that leaves the door open for compromise.
Thankfully the US has discarded the whimsical advice of a pacifist EU.
Australia's AMP Improves Boardroom Governance
By Wantinny Tomarda, Finance Correspondent
The Australian Financial services powerhouse AMP has taken drastic action in the boardroom in a bid to drastically improve its governance. Following the banking Royal Commission’s recent discoveries, directors voted to hold all future board meetings around a roulette table at Sydney's Star Casino.
In a statemment issued to the ASX and its shareholders the board outlined is plans to make all future decisions by coming up with 40 options and letting the roulette table decide the outcome, saying: “We’re committed to ensuring that the board can never be held accountable for a decision again".
The board also announced plans to offer customers the opportunity to place wagers on the outcomes of future board meetings through a new business venture with Ladbrokes. The new chair of the board said that “this will allow our customers to access new revenue streams as part of their overall wealth managment portfoilo with AMP.”
When asked for comment, a spokesman for the Regulator shrieked with joy and paised AMP's new customer offering.
