After a long 2020 (and a very long January 2021) Joe Biden will be inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States on the morning Thursday, 21 January (Australian time). What does a Presidential Inauguration look like when it’s overshadowed by a pandemic and threat of insurrectionist violence? Chloe and Emma talk about what what we can expect on Thursday, how Australia’s relationship with the USA will change after Donald Trump, what the violence on 6 January means, and what the Inauguration may tell us about the coming Biden Presidency.Emma’s editorial in the Sydney Morning Herald https://www.smh.com.au/national/there-s-a-lot-of-blame-to-go-around-for-the-chaos-in-the-capitol-but-some-belongs-to-australia-20210107-p56sfg.htmlThe Wall Street Journal put together a guide to events on the dayhttps://www.wsj.com/articles/inauguration-guide-schedule-of-events-performances-and-how-to-watch-11610730674“Scott Morrison says 'Chinese Government should be totally ashamed' of 'repugnant' tweet”, ABC, 30 November 2020, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-30/china-fake-image-australian-war-crimes-afghanistan-tensions/12934538 Hosted on Acast.
