@MikeCarlton01 He even caught me by surprise ... I thought he was going to embarrass her by bringing up Hiroshima but I got that wrong. He brought up Pearl Harbour
English
Staggering. He becomes more gross by the day.

Q: "Why didn't you tell U.S. allies…about the war before attacking Iran?" President Trump: "We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

@Mark_Graph @Margare12740329 And people think they suddenly make sense now?
English
Blaming LNP alone for refinery closures is lazy and factually wrong. Closures spanned Labor & LNP govts – driven by economics: ageing plants couldn't compete with larger Asian refineries. Multinationals (Caltex, BP, ExxonMobil, Shell) made commercial calls. And it was the Coalition that introduced the Fuel Security Act in 2021. Both parties ignored warnings for 20 years.

@Cryptorii @ausbtcclub Why would they buy property at 4 percent return when you can more from a bond and not have to deal with tennants?
English
@ausbtcclub Nope, the rich will just buy up the property off those who can no longer service them. Widening the gap.
English
We are lucky here in Australia, though the modern governments have deteriorated living standards.
And plenty think this property market is safe.
The property market will recalibrate to a multiple less than 6x household income because wages aren't going to keep up with a 10x property to income ratio.

@poordart Pure fantasy. Dubai real estate hit record transaction volumes in 2024. The market fundamentals speak for themselves.
English
@E0_DS0_Omega Yep, that was my frame of reference: 150% up from ‘08 is $220, middle of the range stated — but it could go even higher than that, and likely will.
English
For context this is 50% more than oil has *ever* traded at

JUST IN: Oil analysts are saying they “wouldn’t be surprised” if oil went to $200-$250 a barrel.

@RightisRight___ @AlboMP He keeps saying there's panic but I don't see any queues at the service station
English
@AvidCommentator Come on you can't expect him to do that when they have an election in SA on Saturday.
English
I'm so tired of this rhetoric.
Albo would have been told at length about the lags inherent in the system and when missed shipments will start showing up.
We should have had advice to voluntarily limit fuel usage 10 days ago or more.

Albo: Sets up national fuel crisis cabinet. Announces fuel crisis taskforce. Tells people not to panic buy fuel. Assures us there is no fuel crisis.

@SandraEckersley @abcnews Because food transport is not done using EVs. EVs are irrevelant during this crisis.
English
@Kev19081874 @rationalaussie The Australian government banned refugees from Iran already
English
@rationalaussie Will be worth more mate
The great flood of cashed up refugees are on their way and they buy property more as a safe haven rather than a value exercise
English
Guys, is this bad?
Does this mean Australian dogboxes are in fact not worth millions of Pacific Pesos??

🚨 BREAKING: UAE announces its gas production is now zero and operations at major natural gas facilities have been suspended.

Only @OneNationAus are promising to provide Australians any relief by way of a temporary fuel excise cut.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has warned fuel prices could remain at war time highs for three years as inflation threatens to peak at 5 per cent > bit.ly/47cHuwW

@wheelreinvent Who lives close enough that they are still within the 40kmh school zone anyway? And would those people bother to ride rather than just walk the few hundred metres?
English
Victoria’s state government really believes that children riding next to 40kmh vehicles plus some helmet scolding is going to get kids riding to school.
Utterly unserious.

@KimJongwins they will be ok,,they are investing in the next phase commodities,after oil..

@AustRepublican @BrentHodgson Owners corporation also pays for the car park infrastructure itself. The owners benefit from this just like they will benefit from the charging. You can charge higher rent if you can offer this to tennants
English
@BrentHodgson The costs should been bourn by the EV owner.
Not the owners corp or body corporate.
If the owners corp pays for it they should be able to run it for profit
English
Very interesting solution to apartment charging.
(Love the Jaunt 911 recondition too.)
At a reported ~$1,195 per car park, the charger tech would pay for itself in 13 weekly tanks of petrol - but still requires a capital investment from an owners corporation. 🤔
Sydney EV 🔋☀️@sydney_ev
This is brilliant. So many against EVs as they can’t be charged at home by people living in units. They never offer solutions, or even criticise solution. Well now we have a solution that works!
English
@BrentHodgson Owners corporation includes all the car owners parked below who would receive those savings
English
@wintonARK Yes, but a solar panel isn't it's own stable storage medium.
English
a barrel of oil can provide as much electricity as a 400W solar panel does annually.
a barrel of oil runs $92 and comes with a few minor logistical complications.
this year the solar panel should run less than $90; you can order online, ships in a week.
English
@FollowTheScien4 @wintonARK A few grams of hydrogen in a fusion nuclear reactor would be even less
English
@wintonARK A coke can size of nuclear fuel can provide all the energy - not just electricity - that you would use in your entire lifetime.

@michaelsnape Is it extra as you don't spend the dollars elsewhere and everything has GST pretty much?
English
As the diesel fuel price has increased from $2.00 per litre to $2.75 per litre over the last fortnight, the Albanese ALP govt is collecting an extra 6.82 cents per litre in GST
Nice little budget kick along.
Ignore Albo's crocodile tears.

@undefinedhandle I don't understand in the age of mobiles why we need signs to tell us how far something is
