Eh, if the US somehow forced Apple to repatriate all its international revenue, the US still wouldn't benefit from that because then there's much less incentive for Apple to reduce how much they pay in local foreign taxes. So the US would get less tax revenue from that than a repatriation holiday every decade or so. Really, the only winners would be foreign countries. I don't see why the US should change its policies to benefit Australia; aren't your own politicians capable of closing loopholes in your own laws?
