@AvidCommentator @AllenbasterAxel He might be right, they also need to wind back the welfare so people have to work, then we will be ok.

"Everybody knows that if you start putting the brakes on migration, you're going to start paying $10 for a cup of coffee, $35 for an avocado on toast because there's going to be no hospitality workers."
- Liverpool Mayor and Liberal Party member Ned Mannoun

@kankei_arahen @tokyonosensei @stephendziedzic What is the size of the Singapore government as a percentage of GDP? They have low tax rates and a large sovereign wealth fund as well.
English
@tokyonosensei @stephendziedzic I could have been clearer when I said "government-run" but my main point is that the Singaporean government's multicultural policy is a lot more interventionist than Barnaby Joyce or most One Nation voters (or Australians) would tolerate.
English
Curious. One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce is asked about the message from the party's smashing victory in Farrer. Joyce **again** pivots to Singapore, which he suggests has managed its economy and social integration more effectively, which means it has a "future"

@stephendziedzic Run a poll with your readers which do they think is run better at the moment Singapore or Australia. Use these facts as a basis for your position.

🚨 The Australian Federal Police have confirmed they will charge two returning 'ISIS brides' with crimes against humanity, including enslavement. A third 'ISIS bride' is facing charges for membership of a terrorist organisation.
The arrests come after the return of four 'ISIS brides' and nine of their children to Australia from a camp in Syria.
Meanwhile, the Anthony Albanese Labor government is scrambling to control the narrative after Syrian officials claimed that efforts to return the 'ISIS brides' were led by Australia, a claim strongly denied by DFAT.

If this is true…. Why is @sneako not being questioned by the FBI?
This is very alarming. His stream is radicalizing young men to convert to Islam and he is amplified by algorithms.
Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@DrewPavlou
The first person Sneako met with in Australia is the father of an ISIS terrorist sentenced to 34 years in maximum security prison for carving an ISIS slogan into the skull of a white Australian prison inmate in a racial attack. Ahmad Hraichie - known as the “Muslim Undertaker” - is father to Bourhan Hraichie. Bourhan is currently serving 34 years in Goulburn Supermax for carving the ISIS slogan “E4E” (eye for an eye) into a white Australian ex-soldier inmate’s forehead with a razor. Bourhan deliberately targeted the white Australian inmate because he was an ex-soldier. He waterboarded the ex-soldier Michael O’Keefe with hot water and a blanket, broke his sternum, then ISIS slogans into the front and back of his head. Following the attack he wrote to the NSW prisons boss threatening to “turn your jails into slaughterhouses,” and told the sentencing judge: “I will always support jihad and I love my brothers in al-Qaeda.”

@MilkRoadMacro Umm how do they get their oil out though? Their pipeline and infrastructure isn’t in good shape at the moment.

UAE IS SET TO RAMP UP OIL PRODUCTION FROM MAY 1
The UAE is preparing to boost output after leaving OPEC+.
As part of OPEC+, the UAE was capped at roughly 3.5M barrels/day.
But now, the UAE’s Energy Minister says the country can scale production to as much as 6M barrels/day if needed.
That’s a massive jump.
And it gives the UAE far more flexibility to capitalize on higher prices and capture market share.
Here are the 4 main reasons the UAE chose to leave OPEC:
1. Output freedom
2. Revenue maximization
3. Strategic independence
4. Greater market leverage
In simple terms:
Leaving OPEC means the UAE no longer has to follow production quotas.
Milk Road Macro@MilkRoadMacro
UAE DECIDES TO EXIT OPEC AND OPEC+ Here's the reason behind their move: The US-Iran war. There was key frustration over weak political/military support from GCC and Arab states against Iranian attacks/threats. There has also been longstanding quota disputes with Saudi Arabia. After a 59 year membership, UAE will no longer be part of the OPEC. Effective May 1. Here's how UAE was contributing to OPEC: 1. They pump roughly 3.2 million barrels a day. 2. That's about 10% of OPEC's total output. But the barrel count isn't the real story here. The UAE has been quietly furious about OPEC+ production caps for years. In 2021, they nearly blew up the whole alliance pushing for a higher baseline. This is a big shift for the oil market.
