I don’t think anyone is going to like this answer but… it’s just not how global politics works.
Why would other governments demand copies ?
Australia is a close ally of the US. We don’t really have any basis to make such a demand. Additionally, they’re not going to give them to us because obviously they want to protect pedo-in-chief.
So the answer is, if we tried the answer would be a hard “no” and the request would damage our relationship.
Yeah thats kinda what I meant about not having any basis for the request.
Its a criminal case and there’s no indication that any of it occurred on Australian soil so its nothing to do with us.
If an Australian official was implicated we could stand them down. If an Australian was charged overseas we could provide consular support. Thats it though really

They might also argue it’s outside of their jurisdiction.
