@BecFreedom @AFHWPReal Anti woman has been the state of the world for thousands of years. If you are arguing against it you are arguing for progressivism for womens rights.
AUSTRALIA IS THE SUPERPOWER OF ANTARCTICA (and it has oil)
Antarctica is administered by seven nations:
๐ฆ๐บ Australia โ 42%
๐ณ๐ด Norway โ 19.3%
๐ฌ๐งUK โ 12.2%
๐ฆ๐ท Argentina โ 10.4%
๐จ๐ฑ Chile โ 8.9%
๐ณ๐ฟ New Zealand โ 3.2%
๐ซ๐ท France โ 2.5%
(Doesn't add up to 100% because of (a) unclaimed territory and (b) overlapping claims).
Australia should show leadership and stop ignoring Antarctica's potential.
From around 260 million years ago until the present Ice Age hit around 35 million years ago, Antarctica was covered in lush forests (similar to New Zealand today). All the ingredients are in place for lots of fossil fuels.
No commercial oil and gas drilling has however ever been conducted in Antarctica. In 1991 the US Geological Survey estimated Antarctica likely holds 19 billion barrels of oil and over 106 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Given the massive leaps in extraction efficiency since 1991 these estimates are likely to be under-estimates.
The Madrid Protocol (signed 1991, in force 1998) banned mineral exploration in Antarctica (we wanted to keep it pristine so the penguins view won't be impaired). The ban is indefinite but can be lifted. Repealing the ban needs the unanimous consent of the 29 nations that make up the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties.
The ban was stupid when it kicked in โฆ but on the bright side, we were putting it aside for a rainy day ie now.
Given Australia's dominance in Antarctica, we should take the lead and campaign to lift the ban pronto and explore for energy in our own neighbourhood on a sterile and otherwise empty useless ice block.

@URamygdala2big@Freeeemasonry@GurusPod These guys are level headed. I think one of them is Australian as well. The other Irish guy sounds funny. They takedown political figures and influencers i think? Ive only heard them like twice
BREAKING: Australians will no longer pay $1.6bn in card surcharges from October 1.
People shouldnโt be punished for using a credit or debit card.
That's why the Reserve Bank will today take steps to end credit and debit card surcharging from October 1.
This change will make a meaningful difference with Australians no longer paying $1.6 bn a year in surcharges, and small businesses will save $910m.
