There was a time in Australia where sheep were primarily grown for their wool. The meat was a “secondary” product; and even then only the roast leg and few chops were kept, the rest was basically pet food. It was the average family’s primary source of meat as beef was expensive in comparison. The saying “Riding On The Sheep’s Back” was very true during and after the war as all our beef and leather went into the war effort. Even as little as 20 or 30 years ago lamb and mutton were a very economical alternative to beef.

The Labor Government dribbles around the media that inflation is running at around 3.7 per cent which is total rubbish as any household would know particularly those members who do the grocery shopping.
Real inflation rates are running at more than 10 per cent and since the 70’s it could be as high as 50 per cent or more. Just gauge what $1 could buy in 1973 and what $1 can buy now.
The real Labor supporters of the 70’s could have their union meeting and get pissed at the pub for $2. A pot of beer was around 30 cents and a packet of Ardath Specials and a litre of super petrol were about the same price.
The LibLab duopoly has really taken us for a ride over the years but they can no longer do it because petrol now is $2.75 a litre, if you can find it, making it too expensive to take us anywhere.
Dumbed-down ABC, Murdoch, Channel 9 and Fairfax media reporters all averaging about 22 years of age and having been processed through a red university somewhere just can’t understand the rush to support the “extreme” One Nation party.
The momentum for change is growing daily and how the Liberals with their miles of Covid vaccine baggage think voters will support them is as mystifying as the Dezi Freeman assassination this week.

In Thailand they have had counters on the main roads for years and more recently introducing them on pedestrian crossings. I was crossing the street in Bangkok with some acquaintences from the Myanmar hill tribes and they didn’t know what the pedestrian crossing button was for. They get their buttons from Australia, the same company makes them, they must be Melbourne’s last export before total industrial death. Anyway, a couple of days ago I saw a counter, in Perth !!! It was a pedestrian counter, I may have seen it in Northbridge. Our authorities are being shown up for the goons they are by Thailand which has very few resources apart from human and rice fields. Bangkok whacks in a massive new train line virtually annually. They have no safety, you can see sparkies leaning a bamboo ladder right on the overhead wires. Aircon guys working on a 4 storey high narrow aircon landing with no handrail nothing. Melbourne is being run down deliberately, safety enforcement is one of the weapons. The government is selling visas as one of its few remaining offshore income streams. They are piling on “public service” jobs to make the employment figures look better. What they call a service is most likely pointless or an annoyance. They give invoices to people whose cars are full of airbags but weren’t wearing their seatbelt “correctly”, to drive in circles around the mall looking for a park. Melbourne is a case study in governance total fuckedness. But hey, let’s all get fired up about Dezi, joos or muslims and all the bad news will “blow over” for our hopelessly incompetent, lying, thieving governments.
J Bogan in Malaysia the traffic lights are red and green with timers doing a countdown to each light change
Driving round aimlessly in 4X4 tanks -forever seeking a distraction from THE uncomfortable truth of the Hour:
Well the fuel hike sure hasn’t put the brakes on the tradition of driving round aimlessly in 4X4 tanks in my neck of the woods
So the likelihood of it curbing the addiction to the fare that’s forever being pushed by Coles and Woolies……..
I hope the price of cockroaches doesn’t skyrocket when our farmers are shut down and our foodstuff hits the skids. Otherwise we’ll be in deep sht.
Duck :The same scenario you write about did happen to the seafood industry when China stopped importing making it affordable to buy locally caught .
Bungling incompetent government minions are putting the word out to motorists, don’t do stop-start driving, why do they think we are stop-start driving, it is because of they government incompetence, they are so busy trying to give us their driving “infringement” invoices with SMARTcam on every pole they can access, they figure a week of invoices covers the cost of installation then it’s all profit. How about the traffic lights which usually turn orange as you are approaching, what about making them smart too so there is not so much stop-start traffic all the time. You imagine a million cars and trucks on the road all doing a stop-start every minute, and this is the waste the governments cause with their incompetence. They prefer to give out “infringement” invoices for rubbish like incorrectly worn seat belt at low speeds when your car is full of airbags anyway. What a fraud. Anyone knows it’s hoons incl cops who do the bad crashes. I have never seen SMART technology used so stoopidly as by our greedy parasitic governments. I have given up expecting anything except lies, theft and expensive incompetence from them.

Hit List: Iran Threatens US and Israeli Corporations – Global Research – 2 April 2026.
Excerpt >
Eighteen corporations operating in Israel and the GCC nations were warned on March 31 they “will come under attack as they have assisted US-Israeli terror operations inside Iran.” The companies are considered “espionage entities,” according to the Iranian military.
PressTV reported:
The IRGC described those companies as espionage entities associated with the warmongering government of the United States, saying their artificial intelligence (AI) and internet communication technology (ICT) services have been the main elements in designing terror operations and tracing assassination targets by the US and Israel inside Iran.
“We advise employees of these institutions to immediately leave their workplaces to protect their lives,” the statement added. “Residents within a one-kilometer radius of these terrorist companies across all countries in the region are also urged to evacuate and move to safe locations.”

If Australian produce cannot make it to market through the Strait of Hormuz or the Gates of Hell because we support the U.S.-Israeli war crimes syndicate, or because of diesel, then that may cause the price of meat to halve in Australia.
I hope farmers of all products are thinking co-ops to lift their profit and undercut the globalist controlled supermarkets.
Hey folks,
Think fuel is your only worry? What about food when the price shoots through the roof or when it’s just NOT THERE on the supermarket shelves any more at ANY price?
And what about all that OTHER shit that you’re so used to going to the shops and buying, week after week, month after month, year after year, when it’s either 10 times more expensive or it’s just NOT THERE any more?
Think carefully, folks, have you got enough jerry cans to store enough water to flush your toilets and wash your hands and make your instant noodles when the municipal water supply SHUTS DOWN? It’ll be way way WAY too late when you turn on the kitchen tap and NO WATER comes out. And how you gonna MAKE them instant noodles when there’s no way to boil the kettle let alone actually COOK anything? And how you gonna do ANY of that when you can’t even AFFORD instant noodles if you can even FIND any in the shops anyway?
And that’s if you can even GET to any shops because you’re trapped in your house in LOCKDOWN.
Hey, think on this folks, it’s not just fuel and fertiliser being SHUT OFF from our economy and agriculture and industry, think about PLASTICS, folks, they make ALL the plastics from OIL, ain’t gonna be any of THAT shit in the stores any more, REAL SOON. Have you got 10 years supply of Cling Wrap and assortd sizes of garbage bags and all the OTHER plastic shit that we’ve become so very very ACCUSTOMED to?
Never mind, folks, here’s the GOOD news, we know that all the pollies and unelected beauracrats and public officials and corporate bigwigs and blood-sucking banksters won’t be going without ANYTHING, not ever, they’ll have all the luxuries and accoutrements of wealth and power that they expect, NOTHING will be lacking for them because WE PAID FOR IT and we’ll KEEP ON PAYING for it with our blood and sweat and tears while they dance on our graves.
And we know from DECADES of experience that they’ll send their corporate armies of shit-for-brains hired mercenary thugs around to beat whatever they want out of us whenever they want it, whether we like it or not. Because after all, haven’t you heard? They neither work for us nor answer to us.

They have a little song “We’re all in this together” and indeed they are all in this together.
Thus, we have forgotten about Epstein now, and Randy Andy has probably been relocated to some other island for his good service.
Albo’s not flying again, is taking the bus and train to save fuel for tradies and dancing nurses.
Hurray for Albo.
One is always better off if possible, not listening or watching the ridiculous news media channels, lies and more lies brandished about. Even the lie of raising interest rates to reduce inflation is a total lie. Put the interest rates up and you get more inflation as people and businesses put prices up further to try and pay the higher interest rates.
The thing I am unsure of how they get away with the total deception??????????????
They want to milk you dry, install the Orwellian system, and then liquidate the excess slaves.
But I guess most of us already knew that!
It’s already a high-tech “They Live”, “The News Benders” system.
Lower level court fraud…exploitation and abuse of Ai tech to railroad this guy and steal his invention/patent worth 10s of millions of $ and shut him up :

Beware ! Increasingly politicians are claiming the impact of the US-Israeli War against Iran is LIKELY to have a similar impact on society as did ‘covid’ … The idea is being seeded into popular (un)-consciousness… It could mean imposing Lockdowns and other restrictions are being considered as a response should there be demonstrations and protests over the shortage of food, rising costs of food etc… Or likely to be imposed for any reason politicians see fit…
Well said
