Australia’s deputy Prime Minister, Richard Marles (yep, him), has pulled off a successful trip to the United States after managing to negotiate a tariff exemption for Australian made couches, with US Vice President, JD Vance.

”JD loved the Australian made couch that we bought along for him to try,” said Australia’s deputy PM. ”He was so enamoured that he asked if we could excuse him for a few minutes so he could spend some alone time with it.”

”When we came back he was really talking up how easy the couch was to clean.”

When asked whether tariff exemptions for other industries were discussed, the Australian deputy PM said: ”We did talk tariffs on cushions, ottomans and outdoor furniture.”

”JD is very keen to work with Australia.”

”He’s keen to try a kangaroo skin couch and his eyes lit up when I told him about the brumby skin couches that we have in parliament.”
