@gtbranford Yep 😳

@gtbranford Boiling frogs

[Matthew Cook @MattCookMinnipa]

@gtbranford Well said...the truth many can't or don't want to see

[Matthew Cook @MattCookMinnipa]

@gtbranford Bang on 👍🏼

[Matthew Cook @MattCookMinnipa]

@gtbranford We've been sleep-walking or putting it another way, we're boiling frogs. Wake up Australia

[Matthew Cook @MattCookMinnipa]

@Ryandally08 @gtbranford @AlboMP 10 times? He's an emasculated unpatriotic grub. Besides the persecution of BRS, he sent three Aussie submariners to their beds so Australia couldn't be accused of supporting the US and be involved in the Iran war....that's un-Australian, that's pathetic.

[Matthew Cook @MattCookMinnipa]

@gtbranford 🎯...as we know it's sounding more and more like a corrupt and broken system. Thinking we have a fair way to go before we bottom out and people can see the bleeding obvious. I'm regularly amazed how much it takes for people to realise or react. It is happening though!

Tanya from Belmonte Italian Cuisine in the Sydney Hills area. Has been running a “pay it forward” campaign for 6yrs & has handed out 60k worth of help to ppl in need & charities is #pissed that Albo & co. just spent 20million $$$ on a “cringe” ad campaign 👇👇👇👇👇👇

People are about to learn that sulphuric acid is one of the base layers of civilisation.

China exported about 2.68 million tonnes in 2024. Its main export destinations were Chile, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, India and Indonesia. By Jan to Oct 2025, exports had already risen to 3.89 million tonnes.

Sulphuric acid sits inside fertilisers, copper leaching, nickel and cobalt processing, oil refining, lead-acid batteries and a wide range of chemical chains. Remove flow at the margin and the effects propagate through industrial systems we never see until they seize up.

Chinese exports were already falling sharply in early 2026. So the impact already bites

So let me help scale this in importance using one example - fertilizer

Sulphuric Acid is used in Phosphate fertiliser production

In the wet-process route, sulphuric acid is the acidulating agent used to make phosphoric acid from phosphate rock.

On straight stoichiometry, 3 million tonnes of H₂SO₄ can yield about 1.8m tonnes of pure phosphoric acid, which is roughly 1.2m tonnes of P₂O₅ equivalent.

That is enough for about2.8m tonnes of DAP-equivalent fertiliser at 46% P₂O₅.

Using a common field application rate of 60 kg P₂O₅/ha, that is enough phosphate nutrient for roughly 22 million hectares of cropping.

Thats roughly what is required to feed 330 m people for a year

Now scale this with Hormuz

Which roughly locks in 40 to 70 million tonnes of sulphuric acid a year.

Add roughly 1m tonnes of production lost in Russia

By the time everyone has become a sulphuric acid expert the crisis will be in full flight .

[Grain Producers SA @GrainProducerSA]

FUEL & FERT WEBINAR: Tomorrow morning, 8am, GPSA is hosting a Webinar with industry experts @Fertilizer56655 @GrainGrowersLtd and @Episode3net to keep SA grain producers up to date on the latest fuel and fertiliser supply and price movements in the lead up to seeding. You'll have an opportunity to ask questions of presenters during the Webinar. Register: https://t.co/zB9cyvga1N

@gtbranford Yep...$2.5B over the life of the deal. Apparently it's none of our business how the Govt mishandles our money.

[Matthew Cook @MattCookMinnipa]

@gtbranford Cynical me, but the fuel crisis is Labor's blessing in disguise. Reduce C emitting fuel/energy use, lower emissions, force us into EV'S, slow the economy. This is why the new fuel czar is a climate change beauracrat. Her job is to look like she's managing the shortage and crisis.

[Matthew Cook @MattCookMinnipa]

@gtbranford The gas-lighting is beyond belief.

[Matthew Cook @MattCookMinnipa]

@gtbranford So few get it! Drover's dog could have led the Labor party to victory. Liberals have been catastrophic for years and were always going to be smashed with or without One Nation.
One Nation just fills the void left by the cowardly and out of touch Uni party.

@gtbranford Check the heckling of these two little men

[George Mamalis @georgieAM]

Australia was built on a Christian foundation that shaped our values, laws, and identity.

Multiculturalism isn’t automatically strength. Different cultures and theologies bring real differences, and ignoring that doesn’t create unity. And we need to start holding politicians accountable for selling slogans instead of reality.

At some point, we need to be honest about that. 👇

[Matthew Cook @MattCookMinnipa]

@gtbranford So Australia being the "greatest country on earth", with Albo at its helm....anachronism large

[Matthew Cook @MattCookMinnipa]

@gtbranford 💯%

@gtbranford 😳Needs proper investigation
