Went for a fox hunt tonight. Established that there is a pretty high level of food for them in the paddocks. Like I was astounded to see the mice numbers.

Ok. Honestly. How many acres do you run your combine on ? This is a serious question. No need of color bashing or anything like that. I’d like honest acres for one combine #Agtwitter

Trump on re-opening the Strait of Hormuz: "Let France do it, they get a lot of oil from the strait. Let the Europeans do it. Let South Korea, who is not helpful to us, by the way…Let South Korea do it. Let Japan do it… This was not part of what I wanted to do."

Since 1999 the Liberals have been in power for 4 years. Yes, 4 years in 27 years. For God sake!!! Get your act together!! Help Jess Wilson become Premier by stop this factional nonsense and actually support a child abuse survivor, family woman, an asset to the party, Moira Deeming.

Liberal Party preselection chaos has sparked “open hostilities” between state leader Jess Wilson and president Phil Davis, threatening the Coalition’s election-leading position. > bit.ly/41Elxn4

@DaveMilbo I reckon they had credibility in the Bob Brown days when they lived up to their name and focused on “green” issues. Today they mainly seem to be all nut cases

Question: Why do you think the Australian Greens can't seem to bust out of the 10-14% range of the vote? Hostile media? Too beuigose? Their candidates? Their messaging? Their Their name? Is Australia just innately pro-war, pro-racism, pro-fossil fuels? The party seems stuck.

NO POINT TURNING AWAY FROM PROVEN LIBERAL VALUES. The dust has not yet settled on the Labor landslide win in South Australia - a black pall has already settled on the S.A. Division of the Liberal party. At best the Liberals will have eight seats - O.N. two seats. Was the campaign against the Liberal party by O.N. worth the appalling result? The O.N. campaign against the Liberal candidates was given a huge push by media sensing sensational outcomes as has happened. Speaking with O.N. people, I learnt that their policies are almost identical to Liberal policies. Where is the common sense in O.N.'s decision to make the Liberal party the common enemy ? The Labor party was already poised to win office and the entry of O.N. turned the result into a landslide for Labor. Labor are popular in South Australia and they deserved their win. On the other hand, federal Labor are on the nose - living standards continue to spiral downwards with the cost of living crisis - the power generation crisis - the immigration crisis, the fuel crisis. Will O.N. repeat this action federally ? What is the gain for ordinary Australians voting away from the Liberal party in favour of O.N. when they allegedly have the same policies as the Liberals? PLEASE EXPLAIN the gain for O.N. voters who split the conservative vote, creating an ideal opportunity for Labor to get back into office. #WayneFehlhaber

Brilliant response from South Australian Liberal leader Ashton Hurn who clearly knows the definition of putting Australians first ❤️🇦🇺 She didn't hesitate, mince words or get nasty. She knows that we know. The real enemy is Labor, not One Nation. The coalition machinery are watching this. They're watching in Farrer. They're watching in Victoria and they're watching at a federal level but more importantly, Australia is watching, and I hope One Nation remember this display of focus and maturity and (if/when Labor win in SA) can work with the Liberals to be a formidable opposition.

This is a monumental crisis for Australian agriculture, and I urge politicians and authorities to act urgently. No more round-tables, take control now. You are elected by the Australians to make hard decisions. This is it, now is your time. Please read and repost Brad Jones in The Australian today.

I refuse to participate in the modern narrative that James Cook was a villain. Cook was born in poverty in 1728. He was not an aristocrat. He was not handed power. He worked from a young age, taught himself mathematics and navigation, and rose through sheer competence to become one of the most capable captains in the Royal Navy. What he achieved with the technology of the 1700s is extraordinary. He sailed into oceans where most of the map was blank. He charted enormous parts of the Pacific. His survey of New Zealand was so accurate that his charts were used by sailors for more than a century. Many of his coastal measurements were only hundreds of metres off modern satellite positions, achieved with nothing more than sextants, chronometers, and careful observation. His voyages were not just about exploration. They advanced science. One of his first missions was to observe the transit of Venus to improve humanity’s understanding of the solar system. He enforced strict health rules on his ships and virtually eliminated scurvy, something that had killed countless sailors before him. By the standards of the eighteenth century he was known for discipline, order, and attempts to avoid unnecessary violence with indigenous populations. He was operating in a harsh and dangerous era where exploration meant risking your life and the lives of everyone under your command. Was he perfect. Of course not. No human being is. Judging people from centuries ago as if they lived in our modern world is intellectually lazy. What matters is what he actually did. A poor man who rose to the top through ability. A navigator who mapped huge parts of the Pacific. A leader who pushed science, navigation, and knowledge forward. Men like James Cook expanded the known world and helped build the foundations of the modern, prosperous societies we live in today. That is not the story of a villain. That is the story of a remarkable human being.

@KevCorduroy @AntonyGreenElec The big question is will voters see through the bread and circuses offered by Mali or realise there is real substance offered by Ashton!

Here’s an SA election nerds puzzle. In close three-cornered contests with One Nation in regional seats, will Labor save some Liberal bacon? ALP how to votes pref Libs ahead of ON. Although as @AntonyGreenElec points out, most voters ignore them. antonygreen.com.au/do-how-to-vote…

@no1historychick Had to point out to a government dept that some people need fuel to pump water to drink & keep their electricity running. Honestly the lack of knowledge in some senior bureaucrats is frightening.

Everyone's so focused on fuel to get to work, and fuel to get food to shops, but who's paying attention to fuel to keep supply chains running in our energy sector? Think Oz can't suffer rolling blackouts day after day? And, if that happened, what would THAT do to food chains?

@gregmoroney15 I was recently told by a mechanic that modern ULP has a life of 30days after which it deteriorates. He said that a fair bit of its life is used shipping to Oz. Not sure if that’s true

It’s pretty wild the state we’ve gotten ourselves into - there’s still bulk carriers loaded with fuel arriving here that left Singapore BEFORE the war/not war kicked off. How is the system supposed to cope with a 235% rise in demand due to panic buying?
