The answer to why Australia might soon be importing gas is that gas companies are exporting around 35 times more gas than any projected "shortage".

Australia does not have a gas shortage. 80% of Australia's gas goes overseas.

There’s a long history of the Zionist lobby pressuring and bullying critics of Israel and they’re now upping tactics in a time of mass slaughter in Gaza.

My new column: the year the geopolitical plates shifted & where to in 2025. From Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, Russia, China to what Trump means. Mideast deteriorating. Gaza now almost unliveable, Turkey new kingmaker after Russia, Iran lose Syria. We’ll see fallout for years

What does this ceasefire really mean? Donald Trump says it’s “EPIC”. It’s not. It’s merely a Band-aid on a badly bleeding patient. Unless the world pushes for a political rather than military solution there will be more killing of Israelis & Palestinians. My new column www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

The deal as written is apparently virtually identical to the one Hamas agreed to last May, which Netanyahu then sabotaged with the complicity of the Biden administration. #auspol #Gaza #ceasefire

Ignore the galahs. The RBA should cut interest rates. - Michael West
The monetary policy galahs are squawking about a strong labour market preventing the RBA trimming rates, it's a question of RBA's integrity.
