Best everyday bank account and credit card in Australia for an expat couple?

I‘m moving to Australia with my partner and we don’t have a bank account and credit cards yet.

Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??

MSNBC and CNN breathlessly claimed that President Trump keeping a longtime American promise to move our embassy to Jerusalem would stop any peace deals.

And now they barely cover the historic peace deal the President achieved between Israel & the UAE

I honestly struggle with the politics of Afghanistan. It does appear that after 20 years we leave and within months it goes back to very similar or on its way. It’s not the US job to be the world police we did try to build coalitions and fail at the end of the day unless we’re willing to keep troops there forever which most Americans don’t want to I am not sure what the right thing to do is. And I’m sick of criticism just for the sake of the president. I don’t think there’s a perfect solution
