Some more consequences. This time it's about the global food chain supply. Rising fuel prices shut down half of Thailand's fishing fleet. This threatens the country's multibillion-dollar seafood exports, people are losing money. This is how it all starts. It hits developing countries first.

After the israeli regime have slaughtered over 300 journalists in the last few years, inviting the regimes ambassador to speak at the ‘Press’ Club is akin to asking Ivan Milat to speak at a backpackers convention. #auspol

Today marks two years since Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom was killed in an Israeli strike while delivering vital humanitarian aid in Gaza. Zomi was a uniquely selfless person. Zomi and aid workers like her should be celebrated – and protected.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli continues to impress !! Having taken a stand against the UN and Covid mandates he now calls for Australian energy independence!! ‘There’s potential for a veritable sea of oil right here in Queensland. We must promise ourselves as a Nation - never again will we be vulnerable entirely to foreign markets and foreign conflicts ensuring our energy security.’ Bang on 💥💥💥

Not until we go full Zombie Apocalypse… Only then will Aussies truly wake up. It also guarantees we will never let ourselves get in this stupid situation again.

Really ? Unacceptable ? Is that it ? Burnt toast is unacceptable. Cold coffee is unacceptable. Cowardly diplomatic waffle is unacceptable. The Israeli murder of UN peacekeepers is surely a little more than that. How fucking pathetic.
Senator Penny Wong@SenatorWong

Attacks on UN peacekeepers are unacceptable. We condemn the killing of three Indonesian personnel serving with the UN in Lebanon. We extend our sincere condolences to their loved ones, colleagues and to Indonesia. We support Indonesia's calls for a thorough investigation.

Now the whole globe is paying a crippling price for this Israeli ethno-nationalism. The world economy is being disrupted and sent crashing into recession because of a war designed to advance Israel’s territorial security.

Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group. There's a reason nobody has ever done this. It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself.

Why does Kos start with the GFC? Hawke-Keating were the big detariffers.
Kos Samaras@KosSamaras

Why the growth of One Nation? My latest Oped in the AFR. Since the GFC, Australia has quietly dismantled the economic foundations of the outer suburbs and the regions. The car industry, gone. Steel, in some parts in administration. Timber towns, hollowed out by policy decisions made by people who never lived near one. Over 200,000 manufacturing jobs lost in seven years. Textiles, clothing, footwear, effectively eliminated. Wholesale trade contracted. Bank branches stripped from regional high streets. Energy-intensive manufacturing crushed by gas prices that tripled after LNG exports began. Health services in decline or now costing more. Being diagnosed with cancer in a big city is traumatic, in the regions, it’s far more severe as you have to battle day trips to a care facility….try doing that with today’s petrol prices. None of this happened to the inner city. It happened to the people who built things, fixed things, and drove things for a living. And the parties that governed through all of it, on both sides, never really had to answer for it. They called it modernisation. They called it the ‘just’ transition, or a move to a service economy where the service is done by one class of worker to enrich the life of another. One Nation didn’t come from nowhere. It came from exactly this. My new piece in the AFR on the long betrayal that made it inevitable. After you read this, you may realise that the votes wont easily come back. Link below.

Pauline had remained consistent, saying what millions of Australians are really thinking. Most Australians just want an end to mass migration, cheap & reliable energy, pride in our country, and a positive future for the coming generations. 🇦🇺🧡

It’s good to see public pressure is causing a slow down in Vice Chancellors’ seven figure salaries. But there needs to be a salary reversal. We want VCs to be there for education, not personal profit. We need universities to be educators, not greedy corporations. #auspol

As the US sends thousands more troops to the Middle East for a land invasion of Iran, Australia must be part of a global push for peace. That means pressuring Trump, not surrendering to him. Cut US access to bases, raise the US cost of war and pivot away from US 'leadership'

Much being said about Urea (nitrogen) costs due to trumps war in Iran. The simple solution is to develop cereal plants that can produce a soil environment conducive to N production “similar” to legumes that produce their own Nitrogen.Recent work in the US indicates researchers are a bit closer to resolving this issue but much more needs to be done. Ive been whingeing about the slowness of Australian researchers to get serious for 25 years butAll the political parties including the Nationals have been controlled be the oil companies. The NFF have been useless as always but trot the politics out every time Urea hits the roof.
