@australian LMAO. They are basically saying, "Either you align your country with Islam and destroy Israel, or else we will not stop another Bondi event from happening".

Anthony Albanese and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke have been heckled as “genocide supporters” during Eid celebrations at a mosque in south-west Sydney. Latest: bit.ly/4cZtD0z

Absolutely spot on. This stupid far-left government is cherry-picking data to present a narrative. In reality, it's both a supply and a demand issue, but they are not both equal. Housing is certainly a demand issue. We are already building a lot from a per capita perspective vs other countries.

"He (Albanese) then said shortages were a "demand issue not a supply issue". Now apply that to housing, clown... skynews.com.au/australia-news…

@AvidCommentator Exactly. Everyone just assumes someone will work this out for them. The "She'll be right, mate" mentality is still too strong.

@Temjinck "All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident," Like Covid loads of folks will say it was obvious given time, deleting any awareness of their opposition from their consciousness.

In very early February 2020, I spoke with several well informed friends, one with contacts in China and another with a source inside the WHO. It was made extremely clear to me that everything was about to turn into a s*** show. I'm getting the same vibe now, I hope I'm wrong.

The unions and the governments have made it impossible to operate refineries in Australia at scale profitably. But that's only part of the problem. Australia is not in a good geological position to refine heavy crude from the Middle East. Too far away. Cheaper to do it in Singapore. The better solution was to increase storage massively. Much cheaper to implement and maintain.

We destroyed our manufacturing We destroyed our energy sector And we destroyed our capacity to drill and refine our own oil It’s all been self inflicted For fucking what?

@SpachusAus @ronsterd89 Paper rich tradie who owns an expensive ute with an expensive house and a massive mortgage.

@ronsterd89 Average Australian now paying for groceries.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you see this photo?

@khizdddeeee @Osint613 You are basically blaming the Gulf States for not joining the Shia Muslims in their ideological goal for destroying Israel.

@Osint613 The purpose is quite clear saudi should stop helping america in this war

Saudi FM Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud: "Today, two refineries in Riyadh were attacked. What's the purpose of that? The Iranians will have to understand that this has consequences."

@ChrisEconomist Where is the "OH WE ARE FOOKED" scenarios? 🤣 Oil prices stay above $120 to $150 for a long time. Months and years to recover. High interest rate with stagflation. House prices down 40%?

Treasury has modelled 2 scenarios - I call them OH DEAR and OH NO! OH DEAR is already underway (oil at $100 a barrel). It immediately pushes inflation to 4.5% and weakens the economy OH NO! is worse, with oil at $120 for some time. It sees inflation at 5% and a larger and lingering hit to the economy abc.net.au/listen/program…

@zerohedge She'll be right, mate. House prices are going up. That is all it matters. I mean, look at this news article that was on headline this morning. How Chloe Hardy bought $1.1m home at 18, and built million-dollar brand. news.com.au/finance/real-e…

Australia Jobless rate rose to 4.3% (estimate 4.1%) from 4.1% in January

@shagbargh @sentdefender Who is threatening to use nukes on Iran? Why can't Iran act like the Gulf states and focus on regional stability and diplomacy instead of arming/training proxies and repeatedly asked for the destruction of the Israel state?

@Temjinck @sentdefender Funny that the countries most concerned about Iran having and using nukes are the ones threatening to use nukes on Iran. Gosh, can’t imagine why they wouldn’t want them now.

QatarEnergy’s Ras Laffan Industrial City to the north of Doha, Qatar's main site for the production of liquefied natural gas and gas-to-liquid, as well as the largest export terminal for LNG in the world, has been heavily targeted tonight by ballistic missiles fired by Iran. Extensive damage to the site and several facilities are being reported by QatarEnergy.

Read history. Why have the Gulf States attacked Israel before but have, to some degree, stopped the "must destroy Israel at all cost" call? (not saying their relationships have normalised) Whereas, the Shia dominated Iran remains ideologically committed to the removal of the Israeli state. Of course, it does not stop some Shia Muslims calling out these Sunni Muslims for betraying Islam and not joining them to destroy Israel.

@Temjinck @sentdefender Utter nonsense

Which comes back to Israel. Having a neighbour (ok, a little further away) that has an ideological hatred against you and has repeatedly called for your destruction should not mean you should just tolerate it. Doesn't matter who started this whole "hatred" thing because the history on the conflict is so long (millennium+ ago!) that it is impossible to argue "who" was responsible for it first. But then, the gulf states have attacked Israel in the past (again, for religious and ideological reasons). Now they have significantly moderate relationship with them. And now you have Shai Muslims blaming the Sunnis as traitors for not joining them in their holy war again Israel. Religion is a mess.

@Temjinck @sentdefender Proxies are substitute for nukes. Nukes would have more value to the regime as a tool for retrenchment, because deterrence offers more bang for the buck (as long as the bang doesn't actually happen).

@QBCCIntegrity But they also want RBA to stop raising rates. I mean, high house prices must be maintained!

BREAKING: Australian Labor Treasurer Jim Chalmers says Australians should not expect fuel prices to come down as “war time pricing could last three years” Australians are paying up to $1.50 per litre more than they were two weeks ago, prices expected to move into the $3 range.

@goolandthekang @sentdefender If they had nukes, they would certainly attack Israel via their proxies even harder. (as long as a nuke is not used)

@Temjinck @sentdefender If they had nukes, they wouldn't have to worry about being attacked in the first place

@LindaDillon1 @Person012345 @3days2Kiev @sentdefender They will not hesitate to destroy Israel if given the right moment. But regime survival does take higher priority. Let the proxies do the dirty work.

@Person012345 @Temjinck @3days2Kiev @sentdefender Iran. They don't understand the concept of mutually assured destruction

If they had nukes, they would likely to escalate attacks against US and Israel via their proxies. It's an ideological goal, part of their religion (for Shias there, not the Sunnis from the Gulf states). No need to fear of a regime change. How do you deal with a regime that has an ideological hatred against the West (ok, Israel and US more specifically)?

@Temjinck @sentdefender If they had nukes, none of this would be happening because the US and Israel wouldn't have touched them.

They don't. Why spend so much money enriching 400+ kg to 60%, a mere few weeks away from weapon's grade? Noting that this makes senses as a "bargaining chip". Just to threaten others that "we don't have nuke, can't blame us, but we can have one if you threaten us". If I was Iran, and if I had nukes, I will escalate the decades long hatred against US/Israel by supporting Hamas, Hezbollah even more. No more fear for retaliation under a nuclear umbrella protection.

@Temjinck @sentdefender iran has no nuke, kent confirmed this. it was a made up story, a lie similar to "iraq has WMD"

@benjamingrundy Fuel rationing means all other contigencies have been used up. It is always the last step to use. If we only had 90 to 120 days of fuel reserve, there was no need to even ration.

This is getting extremely concerning and I just pray his calculations are wrong. If not Australians are about to experience the mother of all wake-up calls. open.substack.com/pub/theconcern…
