If you had kickstarted your EV sector thirty years ago, made it your number one project and priority, you now might be selling your cars to them and us.

It takes a slow and lazy country to make a feckless fuck like Bambi. Now Ozzies go around hat in hand begging for someone to bail them out. Still, if you keep your conservatives in the wilderness and far from the corridors of power for a few decades you may turn it around and rise to the level of a third world power one day.

Australia did what the US, Britain and the other good guys wanted it to do, nuclear non-proliferation.
So far it's working well, with ANZUS Alliance in place and Britain and France allies.
The test will come when China invades Taiwan then Australia.
Also AUKUS pact, with Japan maybe joining.
There's a question mark hanging over AUKUS...with maybe a change of govt in Washington ... Trump has stated no policy as yet.
bambu is of Welsh and Prussian [Germany/Poland] ancestry.

Welcome to 2024...where everyone seems to be just increasing the prices of what they're selling to whatever level customers will pay.
Think the olives cost too much unreasonably, think that price-gouging is going on, ...don't buy them.
Leave them on the shelf.
If enough people leave them on the shelf, the price-gouging will stop.

Article in my paper today, blueberries costing $14 ... readers commenting, complaining.
One guy said "blueberries for $14?...no thank you, I'll stick with my Coke and chocolate"!!!

It's everywhere, especially in my supermarkets.
Average Joe is *bleeding* in bambuworld.
American style homelessness is appearing.
Housing and rents unaffordable for an increasing number.
Leftist govts' massive immigration is much of the cause.
I believe team bambu will never be homeless, but who knows what the future holds. Average Joe is going backwards, prices of just about everything increasing much higher than the rate of inflation and the amount of wage and pension increases.

You are right of course, if we refuse to pay the high prices and let the goods sit on the shelves then the prices will come down.

But, at the same time we have masses of homeless people coming to the USA looking for work, and the Bible says that if a man does not work then neither should he eat, Mexicans are taught to work hard. Our immigrants from our Southern Border can all be growing food in order to keep the prices low on food, we can have a high supply to keep the prices low. Like with the California wine from Modesto, I am getting it for $4 per bottle, and I bet it costs twice that in Montana or in Wyoming. California wine is probably a lot more expensive in New York than it is here in California.

But yes, I had to quit eating eggs because of the high price of eggs. I used to love omelettes, and steak and eggs, and scrambled eggs with Chorizo, etc, but all too expensive now because of high egg prices. The refugees need to raise chickens for eggs to bring down the price of eggs. And the homeless hippies can have communes where they can raise chickens for eggs, etc, to bring down the price of eggs. The Future Farmers of America can teach people how to raise chickens for eggs, and how to raise cows for milk to make cheese, etc. And we need to put all of those refugees to work growing food, etc, to bring down the prices, and if we have surpluses then we can make money by exporting food to China, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Not too sure importing masses of homeless people from all over the world is the way to go.

When China invades Taiwan then Australia it will be exporting cheap eggs to you. Australia will be a manufacturing heaven for China...favourable weather, infrastructure already in place, China will turn world manufacturing on its head. Chinese cars etc will be so cheap America's car industry and *all* other manufacturing will be no more.
Chinese SUVs and commercial vehicles are now well made, long warranties...they're improving all the time...are flooding into Australia.
People and businesses are buying them because they're cheap, are warrantied for a long time and the servicing costs are low.

Sky News:

IDF says it has recovered the bodies of three people in Gaza who were kidnapped by Hamas on Oct 7.

They're at peace now, no more being raped and tortured.

November 29, 1947: The UN General Assembly passes UN Resolution 181, which calls for the partition of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state.

November 30, 1947: Palestinian Arabs ambush a bus carrying Jewish passengers near Lod (Lydda), an attack often cited as the start of the civil war in Palestine.

December 2, 1947: The Arab Higher Committee, the leading organizer of the Palestinian Arab nationalist movement in Jerusalem, announces a three-day strike against the partition plan. Riots break out in the city, and violence between Arabs and Jews escalates.

Well there you go.
Simple really.
If only...
Oh well, they didn't, so the wars began.

So, in the absence of the stating of their solution/s for the whole Israel, Palestine, Hamas war etc, it must be assumed that those forumites here don't have one.

Going back in time to strangle Gavrillo Princip in his crib. Which is more workable than yours.

Then let's hear your workable solution.

Then what, exactly, is your solution?

Wouldn't a "Palestinian state...run and secured by Israel" actually be Israel?

Not necessarily.
Think of it as 'overseen', 'inspected'.

Which is quite sensibly the last thing Israel wants. Unless they want to paint huge concentric red circles on the backs of the overseers and inspectors.

Well a two state solution is what the US, the UN, and most everyone else are in favour of.
The pro-Palestine protesters worldwide seem to hate the Jews/Israel and want them gone, with a new state of Palestine being "from the river to the sea". They are demanding it all.

You are arguing that Israel should create an Israel "from the river to the sea".

That's one solution, with the Palestinians relocated to Muslim Arab nations.

So your only problem with "From the river to the sea" is who is chanting it. Good to know there are some genocides you support.

Problem with that idea is that no Muslim Arab nation seems to want them.

If the US abandons Israel because it won't accept redrawn boundaries in a two state solution, from where will Israel then get its weapons for self defence?
There was a two state solution in 1948, but the Palestinians never accepted that, so they probably won't accept it today.

Your ignorance of history is boundless. Something like 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes in 1948. Why would, or should, they accept a solution that normalized and approved that? Would Australia? Would anyone?

Looks like the perpetual war continues...no solutions possible.

Not if you take subjugation of Palestinians as a starting point.

Relocating Palestinians to other Muslim Arab nations would not be genocide.

No other Arab Nation would take them unless Hamas is wiped off the earth.

What makes you think the Palestinians would accept the mass deportation from their homeland? They are already pissed about the part they were expelled from in 1948. The only reason to think that deporting Palestinians is a "solution" is if you do not think they matter as human beings at all.

The real reason Arab nations would not accept the arrangement even if Hamas did not exist is the cultural destruction of the Palestinian people is not in their interest, and would be stabbing the Palestinian population in the back.

Then what, exactly, is your solution?
Your solution to the whole thing?

Bambu is following the dictates of his white vs. brown world view.

Not at all.
This is obviously a religious war.

The 'Hispanic Leaders Speak Out' article sure opened my eyes though.

With Israel basically being the 'Jews last stand' I can't see them agreeing to that.
Israel is left with no choice but to keep on destroying every Hamas hiding place/weapons storage facility in Gaza, while trying to free the hostages.
