Millions of citizens taking on their own army(Govt's weaponry) with weapons sounds like a great idea. Somalia might be paradise to this person.

I can see the angle of the Sun has changed in Sydney, to me it marks the start of the end of Winter. So does this mean if the War continues til next year, Europe is f**ked because of it's energy needs?

Mainly Germany. They are most reliant on Russian gas. They decided to move away from Nuclear because of the "risk" after f**kushima and wanted to use gas as a transition fuel. Oops. They are currently reverting to the Nordic gas supplies.

How reliant is Germany – and the rest of Europe – on Russian gas?

As Russia reopens Nord Stream pipeline at lower capacity, pressure remains to reduce consumption and dependency on Russia

Ukraine being the food bowl to the middle east and africa is a bigger threat.

Can't wait to see the back of Stuart Ayres.

He looks and sounds like one of the biggest suck ups I have ever seen. There have been plenty before him I reckon Stuart takes the cake.

You only have to watch him talk to know he has weaseled his way to sports minister.

And I am not surprised he got Penrith in first when it came to stadium funding and now gone screw the rest.

Thats Marise Payne. @hindy111 was the mates mum Marise Payne?

Marise Payne has no children. Plus they are not married. They have been together for nearly 20 years. Also Payne lived near airport and went to school in Burwood. Are you sure about this ?

I used to see them at Lapstone hotel always eating dinner. This is going back about 7-10yrs.
I assume it's the same lady. Sure? Not 100% but I know little about politics. My friends however said it was his mates mum.

All true. It seems Hindy's friend might have been mistaking his mate's Mum...

Anyway, Stuart Ayres has resigned his ministry and deputy leadership of the NSW Libs today.

We just have to wait for the well-timed release of ICAC's findings about Gladys and Daryl Maguire between now and the March 2023 election, and the NSW LNP will be well and truly cooked....

Way to throw away power in NSW. All they had to do was keep their nose clean and it was theirs for as long as they wanted it.

This, right at the time when labor finally have got a normal, sensible leader.

I am not a political expert but i think they were in trouble once Gladys resigned.

People were prepared to look the other way with her shenanigans after the way she handled the pandemic and fought for the state.

And would have backed her in for another term. I wouldn't say she lost a lot of support when her dealings came out. Most people i run into felt sorry for her even when she resigned.

Now she is gone its a mess we have nurses, teachers & public transport workers striking on a regular basis over issues with the government as well. On top of all this other drama.

 

[strider]

yay Labor ..... back to the days of getting f**k all done .... no roads, no trains ..... good times

 

[the phantom menace]

A focus on health... education... aged care... a living wage... yep, it will be good times indeed.

And better paid public servants doing the f**k all once the industrial relations shit storm gets sorted...

do we think we wouldn't have all these strikes if Gladys was still around? ..... I think we still would .... there is an election coming - unions stirring it up

 

[the phantom menace]

I think Gladys was a much stronger leader than Perrotet... and she would have sorted out the appalling stuff with the transport minister much better/earlier, so the strikes wouldn't have been necessary.
