@toddthepainter @HoolyMcg I'm dreading going to fill my 2 diesel jerry's and 1 petrol jerry for my hobby farm. 40L fills my little front end loader. Think I'll do it at midnight at the self serve just so I don't get abused

@tax_oz @ClareONeilMP But Clare's mate, uncle Jim C, reckons all is great in the land of Oz. I'd much rather you were the treasurer TG.

@sirswampthing @AFL 30 individuals scored more Brownlow votes than the entire WCE squad. The previous record for lowest team Brownlow votes was 15 for WCE in 2022. New record is now 12. Oh well, the only way is up 🦅🏉

@rhons_747 @TheNestWCE I'd prefer Brandon Starcevich myself. His uncle Craig is a bit long in the tooth!! 😂

What they won't tell you at today's productivity summit:
Everything is cooked.
Businesses face astronomical land, labour & energy costs. Why?
Albo hitting the pedal on the mother of all immigration programs in order to flip electorates has thrown kerosene on the mother of all housing bubbles which is now a conflagration consuming all.
Labour costs through roof as everyone's drowning in rent & mortgages, and 10% real inflation, yet even with highest casual wages in the world people are choosing between heating and eating.
Energy through roof pretending windmills and solar can power a G20 economy. Hot tip: you can't. You need to move the power through time and space to where its needed. You also can't run industrial thermal loads or precision manufacturing on intermittent power with phase instability.
The mass immigration program is importing welfare recipients, not workers. 30% don't pay tax and I would think the vast majority are net negative in costs to the tax payer for services and infrastructure.
Australian education is now regarded as a joke.
Entire non-govt sector created 53,000 jobs in 2024, but they're bringing in about that many PER MONTH.
New mortgage issuance is money creation, so is out of control government waste like $50b+ of NDIS p.a.
That money issuance has real inflation running at 10%.
The country is utterly cooked, blind freddie can see the wheels are falling off the bus at a tremendous rate. They think they can fix it with 2 days WFH and a 4 day work week which will collapse CRE.
The housing market will pop and it will not be a soft landing, it will bring down the banks and the AUD.
I'm sure today a few brain farts think there's no problem another tax can't fix.
What multinational would touch this place?
What viable business can you create here?
Suggest one.
There's 122 pay guides to decide what to pay someone, the funeral industry has different rules to the cemetery industry.
7.1m people work >35h, 1.5m SME owners leaves 8.6m people supporting 28m others including 2.5m public servants.
Half the country is dependent on the taxpayer now.
Manufacturing can't run, smelters can't run, can't make plastic, glass, a tin can ffs.
Everyone's white knuckling it to make mortgage payments and eat, dodging yet another gaza protest and hoping they don't cop a machete to the head.
Want to improve productivity? You can't until you deal with input costs.
I feel sorry for the poor fools that turned up to the round table because they'll just be used as a veneer of legitimacy to push through some more awful policy.

@phil_honey SOS emergency calls only until I started using a celfi -go. Was great until 3G got switched off. Waiting 20 min to load a webpage lead me to purchase from uncle Elon. No problems now.

@WestWXWatchers What weather app are your screenshots from?

[Summit Fertilizers @summitfertz]

Exciting images coming from the Esperance Region, where Area Manager Nick Donkin visited Jordan Whiting of Shepwok Downs where our new EEF BiOWiSH has been applied in wheat, with the treated area germinating 3 days earlier than the untreated crop.

@logue_phil @grazinggoat66 🤪 Yes I did and I was almost happy

[Dave Armstrong @darmy66]

@ScholzyD @EddyPol5 Haha cheers Scholzy. Hope all's well for you and the family 🍺

[Dave Armstrong @darmy66]

If the small seed box on an old Inter 511 combine is buggered, would it be alright to blend clover seed with the fert and just put it all out thru the fert box? A bit gappy between the rollers and the metal in some of the grain chutes, the clover might just run straight out

[Dave Armstrong @darmy66]

@EddyPol5 Cheers Ed. Alosca granules in my SCZM DPZ MOP brew should do the job I hope 🙏

[Dave Armstrong @darmy66]

@Kidcowboy2 If a weeks groceries were worth 0.167% of the value of the house in 1955, then either groceries these days are pretty cheap, or house prices are significantly overvalued. I reckon I know which is which.

[Dave Armstrong @darmy66]

@logue_phil I’m putting Alosca C granules in with the fert. Theoretically should do similar job. Just a bumbling hobby farmer using borrowed gear from the neighbour 😂

[Dave Armstrong @darmy66]

@TajHasson Great stuff Taj. All the best for a smooth run during seeding 👍
