I want to be wrong so bad, but can't help thinking I'll be proven right.
Perhaps I should have said that Mr Albanese supports Operation Sovereign Borders - not necessarily his whole party. If there’s a leadership change, perhaps this policy would end up changing too.

I wonder if America had just let Germany use Nord 2 pipeline Putin would have not gone off his rocker because even he would not want to upset a good customer and the world would have normal prices for everything.

Angela Merkel wanted to connect to Nord 2 but Antony Blinken thought it would lead to Putin invading Ukraine supported strongly by Texas https://www.eenews.net/articles/senate- ... this-week/ but they were both wrong and now the world has to pay while some poor countries will starve.

PS
How stupid is the world ?

JUST HOOK UP NORD 2 and get back to normal because nobody will invest in short time gas.

My dad had a shop and used to say the customer calls the shots and as most Germans would like things to go back to normal they should tell America to butt out and turn on Nord 2 which will then give them the power over Putin.

PS
All the "experts" on TV say there is no quick fix but all Germany has to do is turn it on.

Hitler and his Nazi party were left wing. Nobody mentions that. They want your to believe they were right wing. Left wingers are liars.

So sick and tired with federal Labor blaming the Liberals for the energy problem when it was America stopped Angela from connecting to Nord 2 which eventually buggered the whole world.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy must be joking if he thinks America will rebuild Ukraine for $600 billion when it has infrastructure needs of its own.

America needs smarter town planers that can place more expertise into adding pubic transport into the overall planing of a city most American cities are planed around car use

They are still talking about HSR which is uneconomical as it cannot take overnight freight trains like maglev.

The only problem at the moment is Amtrak doesn't own any of the infrastructure so they have to deal with the stubborn freight operators

Container trains are making big money in the US and they do not want to park up to allow a passenger train through.

As most freight is picked up in the day it would be an opportunity in a big country to run overnight maglev container trains which in turn make daytime maglev passenger trains much cheaper than planes.

It would save America heaps on rebuilding their road network but they love their cars.

The public transport issues in America goes way deeper then the state of the railways it's also the lack of buses and lack non car options such as public transport and places of interest such as Walmart Target or any of the dozen or so fast food franchises they have to offer within walking distance from a residence when it comes to town planing of American cities

Australia emulates the car loving culture of the United States of America but with less comprehensive infrastructure and highway robbery toll roads artificially propped up by surface road blocks and lane reductions.

To allow Australia and the rest of the world to return to normal the common sense thing would be for
Germany should turn on Nord 2 and spend the increased defence spending on greening Germany.
Russian speakers who want to secede from Ukraine should be allowed to with a vote.
Ukraine should concentrate on rebuilding their country.
Putin, and Trump should have not interferred.

More like ALP is moving to the centre as LNP shifts towards the right.

Moving to the centre is what enabled Neville Wran to revitalise Labor and ultimately lead to Bob Hawke to become prime Minister after the Whitlam debacle.
