"Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz"
- Is that what you call it?

U.S.A. attacked IRAN, and has blown up the global economy.

I don't care about your solutions
I'd rather you admit that your country is the problem.

'Losers First'

'Your government is run by pedophiles'
'They ordered you to die for Israel'

That “discomfort with ideology-driven climate policy is finally beginning to surface in public” might apply where these contributors live, but not here in the Dumb Country, where the idiots of the political class are trying to blame the Iranian affair for their own failure to maintain the obligation to hold 90 days of fuel in reserve.

The useless twats are taking no responsibility at all; they are telling us we can all ‘do our bit’ by not driving as much, taking off roof racks (which most people don't have) and pumping up tyres.

Australians have allowed themselves to be treated like children for so long, that they will probably take the garbage seriously! It's hard to decide who is worse: the political class or the electorate.

Some of us know that around 90% of energy needs are supplied by fossil fuels. Waffling about electric cars and the sun not having to go through the Hormuz Strait is utter horseshit; renewables don't provide diesel, on which the country operates, or enough energy to support the manufacturing we once had.

Albanese uses up Avgas going overseas to beg for oil - what's wrong with the phone or internet? - while dodging questions as to why we are not exploiting our own plentiful resources as we have done in the more prosperous and secure past, before losers and abusers like him got into power. He is even begging for vital to our food production,urea, from third world countries.

I wonder if Albanese remembers, or even knows, that the boss boy in Sri Lanka had to leave the country by helicopter after his government had decided that farmers had to use poop in place of chemical fertiliser, leading to the reduction of food crops.

Of course, old folks with experience are ignored in ageist Australia. But, we will be relieved of the approaching disaster pretty soon, and all the young smartarses will be coping with it. Tough titty.
