Rant time: People are waking up to how pathetic our government trade deals are. We literally buy Russian oil at a huge markup via India and Singapore. These countries are not only ripping us blind, they are also cutting back our supply. Now Russia is cutting back oil production due to Ukraine blowing up their pipelines. Australia is in serious trouble. You cannot hate Australia’s weak, pathetic government enough. Australia needs tough negotiators that put Australia first, and they need that today. Outbid India and Singapore on Russian oil—it’ll still be way cheaper. Use emergency powers to get every refinery in Australia back up and running at full capacity and push diesel back under $2. The next government scam—the fuel tariff will be cut, but don’t be tricked. It will only slow down price increases. With the insanely lower supply about to hit our markets, expect mass pain. I’ve been right every step of the way. Every specialist in the industry and studies done by Australia’s banks and Goldman Sachs—you can literally read the results. Morgan Stanley stated “Australia is top of the queue for diesel shortage”. I’ll summarise recognised risk points and also post links in the comments—always look into things yourself. Anyone who does basic research knows where this is going. (Bowen is very aware of these studies.) You will not have access to uncapped fuel very soon. Farmers, truckers, emergency workers and, in this global climate, our military must come first. Don’t even get me started on the size of Australia’s military. With the size of our resource market, we should be a global superpower. With just 1.5X the funding, Australia would be a force no one would contemplate trying to rip off with shady deals—not even America or China!! P.S. Fuck the EU. Once I fully look into the corrupt deals we have recently signed, I might just blow a head gasket. If we don’t start putting Australia first and leave all these deals that are destroying the Australian economy, we are truly stuffed. Globalism is destroying Australia by design. Our factories didn’t disappear—they were planned to fail via “The Lima Agreement”. The list of Australian-hating deals is endless and we must leave every single one.

#Russia: At least 40% of Russia's oil export capacity is at a halt following Ukrainian drone attacks, a disputed attack on a major pipeline and the seizure of tankers, according to Reuters calculations based on market data. The shutdown is the most severe oil supply disruption in the modern history of Russia, the world's second largest oil exporter, and has hit Moscow just as oil prices exceeded $100 a barrel due to the Iran war. #OOTT

They call it a win. Farmers call it a sellout. 67,000 tonnes asked. 25,000 delivered (after 7 yrs). NZ gets 163,000. At a time of rising costs & red tape, Labor has sold farmers short. Mallee knows the truth — this deal doesn’t stack up.

@Jeremy_Morton_ @AlboMP @AustralianLabor It is a shocker! This was all rejected in 2023 negotiations for the FTA with Europe. Clearly Labor, Farrell & Albo have capitulated to The EU’s demands & they do not support Aussie farmers. This FTA is a disgrace.

So apparently our PM called our farmers 'ungrateful' for the shit deal the @AlboMP @AustralianLabor Gov't agreed to with Europe. The EU is the 2nd largest economy on the planet & our farmers are almost entirely excluded from participating in that economy. Farmers could not be anything other than devastated that this is outcome for our nation. Read how Europe is reporting the deal to their farmers about their 'sensitive' agricultural products.

🇨🇳🇧🇪Belgium’s Desperate Swipe at China: A Self-Inflicted Wound for Europe 🇪🇺 Belgium’s Prime Minister Bart De Wever has sent a sharply worded letter to Ursula von der Leyen, shamelessly urging all 27 EU member states to form a united hard-line front against China. He brazenly claims Beijing is “devastating Europe’s economy” through unfair competition and low-price dumping. He demands tougher countermeasures, stricter investigations, an end to bilateral deals with China and closer alignment with the US, Canada and Japan, even making it the centrepiece of the April EU summit in Cyprus, warning “we have reached the point of no return.” Belgium has reaped massive gains from China: last year bilateral trade hit 403.7 billion USD (up 3%), nearly 2,000 times higher than at the start of diplomatic relations. Antwerp port thrives on transhipping Chinese batteries and vehicles across Europe. De Wever, former long-time mayor of Antwerp, knows this better than most, just last July he was still praising Belgium’s role as a bridge. So why the sudden shameless flip? Barely a year in office, he faces weak growth, stubborn inflation, ballooning deficits and angry protests. Scapegoating China is a cheap, cynical ploy to hide his government’s failures. His arguments are riddled with obvious logical flaws. Around 50% of China-EU trade involves intermediate goods. European firms rely on high cost-performance Chinese components to cut costs and stay competitive. Without them, Europe’s high labour costs and weak parts industry would struggle badly. European multinationals pocket fat profits from factories and supply chains in China that never appear in raw trade stats, the real picture is “surplus in China, profits in Europe.” Europe’s manufacturing woes have little to do with China. Blame America’s Inflation Reduction Act that lured firms away, plus the chaos from Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts, consequences of US strategies Europe blindly followed. While De Wever pushes confrontation, other EU leaders are voting with their feet. Spain just announced Sánchez’s visit to China on 13-15 April (his fourth in four years). Germany’s Chancellor Merz, Finland’s PM Orpo and Ireland’s PM Martin have also recently visited seeking stronger ties. De Wever’s hard line clearly lacks real support. Europe’s real problems are its own deep divisions, sluggish renewal and self-inflicted wounds from following Washington, not fair Chinese competition. Instead of fixing what’s broken at home, Brussels lashes out with protectionist walls that will only raise costs for European businesses and citizens while weakening their competitiveness. Mutual benefit and pragmatic cooperation remain the only rational path. Pure confrontation is reckless and will make ordinary Europeans pay the price. Doubling down on hypocrisy and blame-shifting is a sure recipe for even greater self-harm.

Very good visit to the Garden Island Defence Precinct, Sydney’s major naval base. The Indo-Pacific is crucial for the world’s security. Any tension here echoes through the whole world. With our Security and Defence partnership, we will be able to carry out joint military exercises on land and at sea. It will also boost our defence industries in terms of production, scale and innovation.
