scheudle?

Hmmm. No entries for ‘scheudle’. Can we (the members of this forum) use it in a sentence and turn it into another word we can claim? Refer: “Selfie”.

As is well known, a scheudle is a combination of a scam, a hoax, and a political feud.

If there is any political input it is “A work of fiction”

As a German male porn star I was often asked about the size of my scheudle
I replied it was a big as the knackwurst containing the painting of the Madonna with the big boobies.

Fuel price tracker says..

Couldn’t get unleaded 92. Only E10 which was the same price for the last few days of 249.9.
Diesel has crept up to 319.9. Price hasn’t dropped at all.

can’t wait to hear what this 1900 aedt announcement from dear leader is going to be, probably something like “iran are bad guys and they stopped the oil and we need oil so we’ve decided to join the oil liberation forces but other countries are bad guys because they’re big and we feel bullied so we aren’t going to buy more batteries and renewables and evs from them to actually solve the problem instead” let’s see

That is the problem isn’t it, Australia is a beggar
We always seems to be the underdog, forced to accept whatever deal we are offered.
When the government makes a stand, business, farmers, the banks, etc protest.
To be fair how can we compete with nations whose work force is far larger than our entire population
We might do well in the event of a nuclear war if the Western hemisphere is wrecked, so we do have that

sorry we’re too stupid to understand this by ourselves so we’re going to have to put this to yous economics experts here

The fuel crisis is putting pressure on workers who rely on car travel and those who meet with vulnerable clients, with fresh calls for frontline support staff to be exempt from possible fuel rationing mandates. There are also renewed calls for more employees to work from home, although experts say the crisis has not yet reached “tipping point”. It comes after the federal government introduced a national fuel security plan on Monday and announced it would halve the fuel excise for three months, starting on Wednesday.

if there’s going to be rationing to limit the amount of stuff any individual purchaser can get then how does dropping the price to allow purchasers to get more of the stuff for their dollar help with that

fine fine we get it the experts don’t want to explain their secrets, the price is back to 2 threats ago and everything is good more

I would think that it would be best if any pricing help be aimed at trucking and farming. Hard to take 80 tonnes of ore on a tram.

I would thinking upping the work from home mandates would also help a bit…

irresponsible governance and irresponsible journalism is fkn trash

The risk for the PM is that if he uses what is widely seen to be a break glass measure such as a live national broadcast to repeat his call for people to stay calm and not panic buy fuel, he risks being responsible for creating exactly that: panic. “It was an Instagram reel, not a national address. Albanese’s only message was not to panic, making it a content free address,” Barry said.

very few people panic in major disasters but you know what makes it worse

failure to provide information, and domination by misdisinformation

oh and loss of control when people know what the problem is but instead of cutting losses and building resilience

What was most stark in Albanese’s address was the failure to mention the man who is behind the latest shock, Donald Trump. He was the Voldemort of the address — never mentioned — and yet in the public’s mind he is the single biggest impediment to their economic security. Albanese may be doing his best to offer words of assurance to the country, but it is the actions of his US counterpart that will determine the outcome to this crisis.

IIRC, primary industries (farming, mining) already have an excise rebate. So the half-excise really doesn’t affect them in the long run. Other price settings are not under government control, as I understand it.

Yes to work form home as much as possible.
