Last day off tomorrow. I feel I should go out there, into the Melton Community, to voluntarily help the sick and the lame. Crikey, there's a lot of lame out there.

I expect the next five years will roll out much like this: The war for Ukraine will continue for 2 more years until the US President is replaced by a US Republican President. Then the USA will pull the plug on Ukraine and start business again with Mr Putin. Until then, energy prices will skyrocket and most western Nations will go into Recession, especially the UK and Germany and France. It will be a deep recession. Governments will collapse. Australia will enter recession in about September this year, jobs will be lost and the country will stagger along for about 4 years after that, unable to really fund pensions or health or education at all, but, we will fund American submarines, without actually getting any. China will not invade anyone, but will just take their real place as an important world power that, unlike our American and UK friends, doesn't actually make war on anyone. Why? Because they don't mean anyone any harm, and are way smarter than all that. Its just about trade. China will continue to trade well. No one will be able to interfere with that. That's a good thing.

Well, I do tend to like Labor Governments as they do bring with them social progress and rights and good long term improvements overall for Australians whereas the Conservative Governments don't do that at all. That's not what they do. But this AUKUS abortion of giving the USA 360$ billion to put a few Australian flags on US submarines in their fleet, is just that. An abortion of an idea. Throwing away a fortune and our sovereignty. A big fortune, not a little bit, but a big, giant fortune... It's just so big and so bad for all of us. We could well have made good use of that $360 billion dollars and without having to establish essential nuclear waste sites in our country. I'm sure that'll go down well. Its such a bad idea and on such a grand scale, it's really... its just... I can't speak... the rank stupidity... and a Labor Government. My God, where was the thinking? Human Reason...where was that? World Class Idiots.
