@woke8yearold I’m older gen X. I hate it, and am starting to despise the US.

@realpeteyb123 @Viennathec47290 Riiight. So it’s not about the chaos Trump and MAGA have plunged the world into, it’s personal butthurt.
Gotcha
English

@MotchmanJ Oh gosh, it must be nice to be wealthy enough to afford the upfront cost of those things
English

@KatieGrace2022 100%. Aren’t we already paying someone, who has a large staff, to do this shit?
Why do we keep paying these mouthpiece parasites?
English

Hang on - we have a whole Government and an Energy Minister all paid for by our taxes, all voted in to do their job.
So why are they appointing bureaucrats to do what we pay them to do … THEIR JOB?
What’s the point of a Government, a Department or a Minister if you hand over your job to a bureaucrat…?🤷♀️
Australians vs. The Agenda@ausvstheagenda
Anthea Harris, a key architect of Australia’s climate policy has been appointed ‘Fuel Supply Taskforce Coordinator’ and will manage fuel supply nationwide. Her inaugural salary was $250,000 a year as head of the Climate Change Authority and she’ll be earning approx $490,000 now.

@SamaHoole I’ve lived in Australia for 55 years and traveled most of it. Not one thing you said is true. Maybe try using Google next time
English

Australia is the world's largest beef exporter.
People who find this uncomfortable sometimes suggest that Australia should redirect this toward plant agriculture and feed itself more ethically.
Have they looked at a map of Australia?
Not the bit with the cities. Not the coastline. The bit in the middle. The part that constitutes 95% of the agricultural land.
It looks like the Outback at 40 degrees in October, where the annual rainfall in good years is 250mm and the soil has never had topsoil in recorded geological history.
It looks like the Mitchell grass downs of Queensland, where the black cracking clays grow native perennial grasses that have evolved specifically to be eaten by ruminants and cannot support cropping without irrigation that doesn't exist.
It looks like the Northern Territory station country, where a single cattle station might be larger than England and the nearest agronomist is six hours away by plane.
You cannot grow quinoa in the Northern Territory.
You cannot grow wheat in the Pilbara.
You can run cattle on both, because cattle evolved to convert the inedible into the edible, which is the precise function being asked of them.
The people saying Australia should eat less beef have not been to the places the beef comes from.
They've been to Melbourne.
Melbourne is lovely.
It is not where the food grows.

@usuallypregnant No, having kids in my 30’s was definitely not a mistake. Why would it be?
English

@mickitiki Oh. Did that ‘shit’ include throwing the world into complete chaos?
English

@alpha4th @SteveOnSpeed Right. I guess you think anorexics just need to get over it and eat more too.
English

@Stone2541 @SteveOnSpeed Oh please. Not everything has to be psychoanalyzed. They just love food and love eating and they don’t have the will to regulate themselves. That’s pretty much it.
English

If they’re serving food, they should be allergen trained.
If this is true, it’s pathetic.
As a chef, I deal with life threatening dietary requirements all the time. If you understand proper protocol, it’s easily manageable.
Her request is not unreasonable, this is more than ‘my yoga instructor said I’m
allergic to gluten and therefore I need you to bend over backwards for me’ it’s a life threatening allergy that is not ideal anytime, let alone mid flight.
Yes the airline has a responsibility to ensure a passenger is not exposed. And the response leads me to believe that these staff are not trained, not aware, and the airline has no protocol for dealing with situations like this.
English

THIS IS WILD…
Passenger says United denied a simple request that could literally save their life.
Severe peanut allergy.
One exposure = possible fatal reaction.
All they asked for?
A small buffer zone on the plane.
Instead… they were told to basically deal with it and “email the company.”
On a packed flight where people are eating inches away…
That’s not a minor issue.
That’s life or death.
Do airlines have a responsibility here… or is this asking too much? ⬇️ 🇺🇸
English

@alpha4th @SteveOnSpeed Don’t be a simpleton. It’s a psychological disorder, manifesting in a disordered relationship with food.
English

@7NewsAustralia Why would Iran want to do that? It’s the most effective leverage they have.
English

World leaders, including Australia, are set to call on Iran to immediately stop blocking the Strait of Hormuz which is leading to petrol shortages and soaring prices around the globe.
An emergency session of the International Maritime Council was ordered on Wednesday where global leaders are expected to condemn Iran’s attacks on seafarers and merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 per cent of the world’s oil is shipped. #straitofhormuz #iran #maritime #shippinglane #middleeast

@JEChalmers Gosh, if only successive governments had seen why retaining refining ability and actually having an onshore stockpile is important?
Imagine that.
English

@MrRexPatrick Don’t be silly, we’ll just keep practically giving it away
English

Japan, South Korea and Singapore are heavily reliant on Australian LNG (and even more so noting Qatar’s LNG is now unavailable). Australia is heavily reliant on Japanese, South Korean and Singaporean refined fuel.
I hope our diplomats are thinking what I’m thinking. #auspol
