    Keith.
    They were talking about doing this over twelve months ago, the UN wants a squib up its backside, they have plenty of money to hold conferences all over the world, if this was so dangerous why have they waited so long.

    James. you never can tell where any item will surface, only sid maybe UK took LPG from us.

    As to Lamb and Beef, we only export the good stuff mainly to Japan, they will pay a premium for it, but what we send to Uk is all export quality, all grass fed and no more than two years old cattle.

    Why is our wine better than most EU ones, simple.

    It is all to do with the sugar content.
    In EU countries they are allowed to add sugar during the fermentation process, here in Oz that is not allowed.
    We rely on the natural sugar produced by excess sunlight to do the job.


    Asa to all the Extinction rebels and Stop Oilers, I wonder if they understand what their stops would do,

    Do they understand what is made from Oil.
    Plastic for their mobiles, lap top cases, bumper bars on many EV, oil for the wind turbines.
    Then coal for coking to make steel for their EV , cases for the mobile, the list goes on.

    But of course they think the fairies will provide it all.

    Extinction rebellion, just extinct them all.

    There is nothing wrong in wanting to improve air quality, Is it really necessary for Double Decker buses to be running through city centres day and night and are not often ever half full apart from rush hours. Bring back the Trolley bus or trams.
    Chelsea Tractors should be banned.

    An earth tremor in the UK happen on average of one very other day.

    Earthquakes around the British Isles in the last 60 days

    So all this in-still fear into the population is nonsense. All designed to line the pockets of the green investors like the billionaire who funds the Stop Oil protests and donates to the Labour government. "There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase closely associated with P. T. Barnum comes to mind about all who are taken in by the leftwing/liberal/green/tory propaganda. Green graffiti now covers our land and seascape.

    All the political parties are tarred with the same brush. Whoever you vote for will still continue down the green net zero pipe dream. It will cost us all dearly. The next election will still bring us the same woke/green political agenda. We do not have the guts to vote in a completely new party who will take on the immigrant problem or the net zero obsessed zealots.
    France in the early 80's after the 79 oil price escalation decided to generate power from Nuclear. They are now net exporters to the tune of Billions of profit per year.
    Our limp wristed politicians over the years have never wished to follow the French governments example. We are now paying the price.

    There are some in the Conservative Party Mike who have sought to push through fracking but have been thwarted by the usual lily-livered wimps. Not sure about the Reform Party Policy who I may choose on my next vote.

    James, we know them as Toorak Tractors, I have one.
    A 2004 Diesel Land Rover Discovery.
    But with distances such as we have here you need vehicles that will take the strain.
    We go every Sunday somewhere and the drive can be from 100 klm up to 500klm there and back.
    Have done a couple of 600 klm ones over the years.
    Yes they may not be suited for UK but it is a question of horses for courses.

    One well respected man here, recently retired CEO of a major power producing system, Snowy river Dam, told the media it could take as long as 8 decades for the world to reach, id ever, zero emissions.
    While we wait for that we continue to use coal, gas LPG and still in many countries burn wood to heat and cook.

    Latest from these loonies, your household fridge is producing up to 20% of all Co2, but offer no alternative just saying we have to find another way.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
