I’d bet #refining and #manufacturing #RareEarth products would be a health and #safety nightmare. I wonder if safety will be the big downfall when it comes to competing with #China on price.

#Australia, Who Are We?
Oh come on. There’s no Australiana type people. We are all different like many countries populated by immigrants and indigenous peoples. All different. No longer a population based on Britishness.

Hmmm, all #China needs to do now is wait till the rare earth money has been spent and send out the stuff cheap as again by the k tons. Bursting bubbles.

Perhaps #KevinRudd should have reminded #Trump how he had forgiven #MarcoRubio so he do the same for him?

Rubio: a “third-world strongman” and warned that ….. justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well,….

Marco Rubio’s Anti-Trump Comments Come Back to Haunt Him Amid Secretary Of State Buzz

The resurfaced clips are a highly awkward reminder of the Florida senator's past contempt for his possible new boss.

#RareEarths:
#PennyWong “we will invest in projects. We will invest in supply”.
Err? But not refining or manufacturing? That’s done in the USA ?

#Albanese gave #KevinRudd a very short hand shake at the airport. Was it deliberate knowing #Trump didn’t like him as Rudd had previously told the truth about #Trump.

Who has enriched themselves buying shares in #Australian rare earths? Anyone in the #USA? Now there’s the #Deal. Here’s just one.

In #Australia we don’t like #DonaldTrump and probably never will.

#SBSWorldNews Surprise surprise. A guy who runs a security business says #crime is on the rise. I bet the #Liberals found this guy. Just thoughtful guessing given they went straight to a liberal spokesperson.

Still way too many flags in #MarchforAustralia rallies. If it smells like #racism, walks like racism, flies the flag like racism. Guess what? It’s not just about housing.

What sort of insane cruelty is it when an #Israeli tank commander fires a shell killing 11 family members in a bus because they crossed an invisible unsigned line of which they had no knowledge. Just another war crime. I wonder if that commander would get an #Australian #visa in the future?

And don’t forget the tips system sounds good but it’s about your employer not paying what you are really worth and forcing their customers to pay you some compensation.

The billionaires behind Trump are trying to make unions unconstitutional.

Do not accept their narratives about unions. Unions are one of the main reasons the masses achieved any protectors from the predator rich.

Your regular reminder that unions represent PEOPLE. They are simply the voice of the PEOPLE they represent.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Attack them and you’re attacking the people they represent.
It’s pretty simple.

#Trump patronisingly and extremely rudely made fun of President #Zelensky in his “very beautiful suit”. I suppose he talks to the #Saudis too about wearing suits rather than their traditional dress or whatever they feel they want to wear? Rude #Pompous Git attempting to belittle.

ScepticPlymptonele @scepticplymptonele.bsky.social · 4d

Ha ha , probably 1923 or something. Just the point I was making is it’s not about individual records it’s about trend.

ScepticPlymptonele @scepticplymptonele.bsky.social · 4d

Yes, but is it a record? Temperatures are always below or above average not exactly average. That said, yes we are getting hotter weather consistently. It’s global warming.

#Trump has delivered more fake bad #Putin talk but no action because he’s still on his side. Tomahawks were just a distraction and as usual made up fantasies to make believe he had second thoughts on Putin. Just look at action not talk!

#LivGolf Can go somewhere else. The absolute best development for the north Adelaide Golf #PARKLANDS!
Is NO #DEVELOPMENT. In the future this is what will be greatly prized. Not giant modern club rooms or wide acreage of #golf fairways.

He’s not really a king. He’s just there to show what the British people have accomplished on behalf of the British people. No real power except on man babies.

It seems Stabbing people in #Australia has become popular. A sort of a fad. It used to be yo-yos when I was a kid. What’s going on? Fools on the net?

Hamas needs to stop murdering their own people and #Trump needs to stop murdering #Venezuelans.

ScepticPlymptonele @scepticplymptonele.bsky.social · 5d

Good luck with that. They also want Hamas to give up all their weapons and be totally defenceless against an enemy who killed thousands of civilian men, women and children.
