Another day, another tanker of fuel using Russian oil. This time the Seferis delivers 103,000 tonnes diesel from Jamnagar refinery to BP Kwinana.

@johncoyne14 "...Regrettably, the mechanisms we would need to track and monitor all energy products via third countries are not in place in those countries"
Really not that hard when 3rd party is buying 50% of their crude from Russia.
@RuthForrestMLC@themercurycomau The ramp up in advertising by Marinus - a government organisation - is bizarre. They're clearly worried by Lara A and John T decoupling from the Liberal train
@tamsinroses I foraged watercress from our local urban creek. That was until someone warned me about the liverfluke risk. Sure enough, tiny little aquatic snail vectors were visible on the stems.

@jeremyrockliff Are we reading the same report??
"...Overall, the stadium component of the new Arts, Entertainment and Sports Precinct was assessed as generating -$306 million in net benefits over its
lifespan."
Perhaps you missed the minus sign in front of $306M. Anyone's mistake.
Under @PRWinemakers Social Responsibility section of their webpage they refer to "drinking alcohol in relation to any kind of illegal, antisocial, dangerous, aggressive or violent behaviour".
Meanwhile, @Pernod_Ricard resumes selling to Russia for blood money. Go figure!
@FIFAWWC So... @FIFAWWC takes on @JacobsCreekAU as a sponsor just as their parent company @Pernod_Ricard resumes trading with Russia while they're busy slaughtering Ukrainians.
And you're happy with that??
Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

@AliceCl93110491 "Pairing epic wines with epic humans" sounds nice.... until you think about the implications of Jacob Creek's parent company @Pernod_Ricard resuming sales to Russia while theyre busy slaughtering Ukrainians in their own land.

So I'm guessing if Russia think they have an entitlement to Ukraine to go back to the dreamy days of the Empire under Cate, they won't mind if China takes back Vladivostok and the rest of Outer Manchuria.
For the sake of consistency.
Every #Chinese schoolchild and adult citizen knows how Tsarist Russia exploited Chinese weakness and seized Chinese territory in the 1858 Treaty of Aigun and the 1860 Treaty of Peking, two “Unequal Treaties” that Tsarist Russia imposed on the decrepit Qing Dynasty.
This lost area, known as Приаму́рье to the #Russians and Wài Mǎnzhōu (Outer Manchuria) to the Chinese, includes such key Russian Federation cities as Khabarovsk and the port city of Vladivostok. Originally established by Chinese in around 600AD, Vladivostok (pop. 600K) still has a significant Chinese minority. Just as Tsarist Russia wanted Vladivostok to serve as the base for its Pacific Fleet, at this point in time maritime trade giant China would stand to benefit from Vladivostok’s direct access to the Sea of Japan.
Prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, there was probably little chance that China’s leaders would seriously consider attempting to regain lost territories. But Russia’s demonstrated military shortcomings and economic weakness could indeed prompt China’s leadership to dust off old maps and contemplate scenarios and circumstances in which the recovery of lost territories could be attempted.
If you don’t think Moscow is concerned about this – think again.
