My tax dollars should be spent on Australians not Ukrainians. Has Albanese sorted out all the bush fire and flood victims? A few hundred million would go a long way to engineering controls in NSW and QLD. Would buy a few firetrucks too. But hey, just keep printing money like the liberals.
Ukraine war: Australian PM visits Kyiv, pledges more military aid
Anthony Albanese visited the devastated towns of Bucha and Irpin, describing what he saw as a 'war crime'.www.bbc.com
Albanese is building alliances for our coming future confrontation with China, working the crowd for the EU free trade agreement (
I prefer our leaders prepare for future peace with a strong respectful, open relationship with China and not a future confrontation with them.
May I remind you Australia is more a part of Asia than it is EU. Your Eurocentric colonialist ideas are outdated.
Im surprised the media isnt going ape$hit about Albo being away, when there is a flood disaster on, well I guess this time, those who are paid to look after the hose will be doing their job.
I hope the Federal police are keeping an eye on his rental properties. Lol
He could be, he is definitely on a World tour, I suppose you have to wedge it in just incase there is a lockdown.Is Albo on holidays opening churches?
No but he's already been nicknamed "airbus albo".Is Albo on holidays opening churches?
Vladimir Putin and his Friends – Taking Control of Russian Wine
When he is not focusing his attention on his invasion of Ukraine, the Russian president and his entourage take a particular interest in wine. Last year, laws allowing domestic wine to be described as shampanskoe on official labels while Champagne could only be called ‘sparkling wine’ hit the headlines. But, as Sergey Panov reveals, other moves have been far more significant.
A different concept of ownership
While talking of shareholding and ownership in Russia, it is important not to imagine that these terms carry the same meaning as in the US or Europe, for example. Under President Putin, a system dubbed ‘crony capitalism’ by Sergey Guriev, Professor of Economics and former head of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, prevails. Proximity to power has replaced traditional concepts of acquisition and ownership.
I think it is crazy to expect a PM to be here every time there is a flood, bushfire, cyclone etc, a lot people get paid a lot of money to oversee those issue, if it can't be handled without a P.M being here they should be sacked.
I didn't agree with Morrison getting bagged and I don't agree with Albo copping it, but once you have set the precedent well it becomes expected and the norm, plus it's always good to watch them BS their way out of the situation.
A change of perspective. How do we intend to fertilise our crops with Russia strangling fertiliser exports becasue of the war sanctions.
So how much xiss passes away at the MCG/Sydney stadium/Marvel ? What would it take to recycle this resource?
Peecycling: could donating your urine to farmers help feed the world?
Thanks to the war in Ukraine, there is a shortage of agricultural chemicals. As each adult produces enough pee annually to fertilise 145kg of wheat, perhaps bodily waste is the answer

Looks like the EU is hell bent on WWIII under the guise of NATO freeing Ukraine.
I could never understand Trump's approach to the EU and NATO, he is starting to make more sense now.

How many of those items existed beside the submarine debacle when scomo was on holidays during the fires. The man is not a time traveller to attend things that didn't exist at the time.You might have missed the reasons, invite to Nato, show the EU we are best mates, pitch we are climate change warriors now, go to Ukraine etc, free trade agreement, patch-up relations to the Frogs (they are the biggest player in the Pacific you know the bit China wants).
Compare that to Hawaiian holiday opening churches. ??

Let me remind everyone thatThe war & suffering will stop instantly if Putin and Russia stop their illegal incursion/invasion and war crimes.
Apologists for the invasion have focused on the West’s ‘provocation’ of Russia, particularly through its expansion of NATO to include Eastern European states such as Croatia, Estonia and Poland.But focusing on the reasons why Russia feels threatened by the West confuses causation with justification. In addition, by referring only to the reasons why Russia supposedly feels threatened, and failing to address the legal position at all, the South African government, the governing African National Congress – and other apologists – undermine the most cardinal rule of our international legal order.Russia has not suffered an armed attack from Ukraine, or, indeed, any state. Neither NATO’s presence in Ukraine nor any of the other justifications offered by Russia and its apologists reach the threshold of an armed attack. This includes a range of allegations. These cover the alleged mistreatment by Ukraine of Russian speakers in that state, alleged links between the West and the far-right in Ukraine, and the alleged presence of sophisticated weapons in the state.Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is, therefore, illegal.
Let me remind everyone that
Zelenskyy is Jewish.
Therein lies another dilemma as US/Israel are backing/financing Ukraine.
I recall reading a prophecy that Putin will "down the track" eventually target/threaten Israel.
We are on the brink of WWIII imo as @3 hound said earlier "Looks like the EU is hell bent on WWIII under the guise of NATO freeing Ukraine".
There are many pieces to this "complicated Ukrainian jigsaw puzzle"Wow, you just bypassed that international laws have been broken by Russia and gone straight to someone’s religion. Wow, amazing.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is illegal under international law: suggesting it’s not is dangerous
No state in the global community should have to earn Russia’s compliance with the law. If the rule of law is not respected, the entire global community becomes as vulnerable as Ukraine is now.theconversation.com
