I tell Trump my peace terms, Trump tells Witkoff what they are and then Witkoff tells me Trump's terms that I told him then I say they aren't enough so we both blame Ukraine for me not accepting my own terms and I keep attacking them.
Rinse. Repeat.

Amongst other things, I used to teach artillery safety procedures at our School of Artillery (a long time ago now) and commanded a couple of artillery batteries.
This is not what you would call a good day at the office or “just a routine cost of doing business” for an artillery unit .

Japan onsells more Australian gas than eastern Australia uses, and more than our forecast domestic gas shortages.
We don’t need new gas projects. We just need to use our own gas better.

In #Budget25, Beer excise is a bigger revenue raiser than the PRRT, one of our main taxes on the gas industry.
Failing to fix the broken Petroleum Resource Rent Tax was a missed opportunity. Our research shows big gas continues to be a systemic non-payer of tax, while Australians miss out. #auspol
