Would you believe these insane tariffs that the U.S. is bullying Canada with? 250% for milk? 291% for butter? 208% for whey? 241% for CHEESE? Oh wait - those are actually tariffs that Canada imposed on the U.S. last year.

Hopefully bye bye Telstra
This is just the beginning. My guess is that there will be as many Starlink direct to cell phone satellites as there are for our high bandwidth terminals.

In order to meet Net Zero by 2050 we will need 4,575,523,674 tons of copper. 940,578,114 tons of Nickel. 8,973,640,257 tons of Graphite. 4,163,162 tons of Germanium. At todays mining rates that would take over 1000 years. Net Zero is a lie that will never happen.

Processors at capacity in WA. These Cull ewes in picture 1 worth approx 80c/kg at saleyards. Tell me again how we pass on our costs @MurrayWatt? No Live Export= no markets. Cream of our Cull ewes in 2nd picture worth $1.30/hd to a processor. Coles and Woolies cashing in

Edison trucks are doing the work. Yes, it's hybrid & not without limitations, BUT he makes very valid points that few in the EV crowd won't address. Great job @EdisonMotorsLtd !
