Albanese dines with Greg Norman on eve of tariffs decision
The prime minister has dined with Australian golfing legend – and close friend of Donald Trump – Greg Norman, on the eve of a United States decision on tariffs.
Anthony Albanese is understood to have sought out the meeting, which took place in Melbourne during the federal election campaign, to seek advice on how to deal with President Trump.
The Labor leader posted a photo of the catch-up to Instagram with the caption, “Great to catch up with Greg Norman tonight in Melbourne.”

The major Australian industries expected to be hit are pharmaceuticals, beef, and fruit – with tariffs potentially as high as 20 per cent on goods going into the United States.
The fallout from Donald Trump’s so-called Liberation Day will dominate the next few days of the federal election.
Albanese will start the day in Melbourne, while opposition leader Peter Dutton is in Perth.
