They didn’t say much about the immediate jump in the local price of fuel that takes four weeks to get here from the Gulf.

More uncounted votes discovered in SA a month after election More uncounted votes have been discovered in two electorates a month on from the South Australian state election, and while the state's Electoral Commission says the ballots will not harm the "integri...

They say in baseball "three strikes and you are out".
How many strike outs does an electoral commissioner get?

Votes cast are tallied and every ballot box numbered in Australian elections. The ECSA should have know some were missing. #auspol #SAelection

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

Congratulations on your new cat!
Being chosen by a homeless cat brings good karma. 😊

Thank you Storm 🥰. Reposted 🍻😁

Thanks for making it.
I am a transport engineer-economist.
I first wrote a paper arguing we needed more oil storage and a shift away from dependence on cars in 2006.
Our policy has been terrible.
We had the 3rd cheapest oil in the OECD prior to this war.
It encouraged foolish investment.

Agreed. I’m sure I won’t be the only Australian who asks:
“why are we giving USA billions under AUKUS, when they are currently blockading the world’s oil supply and driving Australia into recession”?

Public Service Announcement.
That orange summama bitch whenever anything goes wrong in his life he blames Biden, Harris & most of all Obama

Agreed.
As they said of the Soviets in Afghanistan,
“declare victory and go home”.

Looking likely that Donald Trump’s Special Envoy Paolo Zampolli’s ex-wife, Amanda Ungaro, is going to blow the lid on Donald and Melania Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Here’s one of her replies to Melania.

I was raised a Catholic and although I’m not a religious person I have to say this really pissed me off! Pardon me, but who the fuck threatens the Pope with military force???

Iran trolling level:EXPERT.

This blatant hypocrisy makes me furious! Nobody's ever demanded to inspect lsraeI's nuclear program or sanctioned them for continuing with it, much less used it as a pretext to assassinate their leaders and annihilate their civil society

Next they'll be saying Barnaby Joyce is playing 4D Chess with us. 🙄

Right.
The same logic applies to Trump's criticism of Canada, UK, EU nations, Japan and South Korea.
None have done anything wrong under any treaty.

Exactly. The criticisms of Australia, Canada, UK and the EU nations are all completely unjustified.

Trump is trying to blame us for his own dumb mistake.

He expects us to let our soldiers get killed fixing it.

Yep, they taught us about it when I was in High School.
How quickly our society forgets the past.

I think Howard using ANZUS to justify involving Australia in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars were much bigger lies.
They were not our fights.
We had no business there.

Right.
So the Trump criticisms of Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, UK and the EU nations, for different reasons, are ALL wrong.

As an Australian who still cares about democracy,
I’d be proud if we joined Canada on the Trump insult list 😎

Trump has no right to criticise.
The ANZUS treaty is limited to the Pacific area.
Australia has no duty to USA in Afghanistan, Iran or Iraq.

Donald Trump criticised Australia for not helping in Iran.

Australia's treaty with USA is ANZUS, not NATO.

ANZUS is limited to "the Pacific area".

Australia has no duty to help USA outside the Pacific.

Right. Not only that, the ANZUS treaty is geographically limited to "the Pacific Area".
Australia has zero obligation to consult with or help USA in Iran, Iraq or Afghanistan.

The 12 big mistruths of Israeli diplomacy The National Press Club should be castigated for amplifying the views of someone who is dangerously presenting factually incorrect material.

A factcheck of the Israel ambassador's Press Club speech: www.newpolitics.com.au/p/the-12-big...

But think of all the lobbyists who would be out of work?
How will former Admirals buy a yacht?

She will only if the old and obsolete Democratic leadership incumbents get out of the way and let her lead.

I wonder how American parents will explain their President’s Easter message to the nation? Donald Trump is not sane.

Israeli strategy is pretty blatant in this one.

First, look over there! Bomb Iran.

Second, invade Lebanon while leaving USA to pick up the pieces in the Persian Gulf.

Yep. Kharg Island has way too many similarities to Snake Island off the Ukraine coast for my liking.
Capturing a small island without much cover within artillery range of an enemy coast may not be a good idea.
