Most countries require their citizens to have a valid passport to enter and leave the country - including Australia. UK was the exception but it's fun to see how the Pommies are losing their mind 🤣

Decreasing liquid fuel imports, increases our trade surplus AND makes us independent from oil prices.
Btw. I think we should also scrap the LCT cap for FBT exemptions. I want to see those Taycans, eTron GTs or Spectres on the road (... and be able to lease something which can tow.) #auspol

Australia should go hard on EVs, exempt them from GST, and save $40 billion a year in fuel imports
Why go through all the pain of having new LNG facilities and new coal mines when we can just kill oil imports and get a lot of votes in the process?

Europeans shouldn’t panic about Donald Trump’s threats toward Greenland. They should act—fast and visibly—to raise the costs of any annexation attempt. They can play “Arctic hold‘em” – with ten European cards 👇

DAMMIT It's Not Alzheimer's! Here's Why It's A Far Worse Nightmare Scenario

Australia’s roads are full of giant cars, and everyone pays the price. What can be done?
If larger vehicles make us feel safer inside them, do they also make us take more risks behind the wheel?
