I was hoping for discount Proscuitto di Parma, Jamon Iberico and $2 Dom Perignon 😒
The funny thing about the reduced Luxury Tax on the European cars is that it applies to all other manufacturers as well. That won’t help them compete against eg, the Chinese offerings.
I’m being a bit negative, but I think and hope it ends up being a big positive for both sides.
And maybe it is the second step of us joining the EU. The first step, of course, was competing in Eurovision 🤣

So these are all the Aussie benefits? When they say “XX,000 tonnes access”,.that’s our farmers access to EU markets?
What’s the other side of the coin? Ie what access does the EU now have to our markets?

Of the seats in doubt, the 2 that ONP are ahead in are held by Liberals.
Liberal are ahead in one seat held by an Independent.
4 of the 5 changing seats Labor won from Liberal, the other an Independent won from Liberal.
That is some performance.

Have we not seen what happened in the US with Trump and the UK with Farage and Brexit? What are they expecting to happen?
Mind you, Labor and the Coalition both keep shooting themselves in the foot, and then reloading a fresh magazine.

- Comment on Media personality, broadcaster, and Agro puppeteer Jamie Dunn dies aged 76 2 weeks ago:
I remember seeing a clip, with Agro and host/wildlife expert with a small mammal or quoll or something.
Agro:“That looks tasty!”.
Host:“No, it’s not for eating Agro. Let me tell you about it. It’s mainly nocturnal, so that means it likes night time and dark places like log hollows and…”Agro lowers his head to the desk, opens his mouth wide,and says:
“COME INTO THE CAAAAAAVE! It’s dark and safe in here!”

Interesting - because I barely pay any attention to it- but UK Sky News is owned by Comcast, with the Roberts family being largest shareholders while inn Australia former Sky News remains in the Murdoch stable.

- Comment on Sky News Australia rebrands as News24 4 weeks ago:
I was wondering if they are rebranding because people were viewing Sky News as being allegedly misleading, useless opinion and propaganda posing as news, so they needed a fresh start.
But based on people I know who watch Sky After Dark etc, I don’t think that would be the case.
