Chinese spies, ports and Donald | Scam of the Week

This week on Scam of the Week:

Trump declares Liberation Day with a fresh round of tariffs that somehow hit… the penguins of Antarctica. Gold surges, markets tumble, and Donald even slaps tariffs on uninhabited volcanoes.

Meanwhile, Sky News uncovers a terrifying new threat: a Chinese spy ship… that turns out to be a bunch of marine scientists studying climate change. But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good scare campaign?

And back home, the Coalition is now demanding we buy back the Port of Darwin—the very port they sold to a Chinese company in 2015. Yes, the same deal that landed a former minister a cushy $900,000 job.

Tariffs, spy ships, and political U-turns, all while Dutton dreams of a $600 billion nuclear plan with no costings and no clue.
