Speaking of things Gaga-esque, I loved the press release from our (Vic) state govt about the declaration of the event to prevent scalping. It headlined tickets could not be sold more than 10% above (Poker) Face value.

Anyone going to WDS show and tell. I wonder if it's going to be as fiery as last year

WDS AGM is 8th May in Perth and we may go. This meeting last year attracted some real dopes so it could be really entertaining. I don’t rate Goyder as the Chairman.
The fact that Plibersek did not extend their operating agreement is a sticking point.
Some politicians have no idea about how Western Australia is holding the Australian economy together. They just want to spend the gains.

They just want to spend the gains.

They already have
Edit: several years ago

Yes the 2025 budget has immediately been ignored. Spending and promises have been out of control.
I read how my personal tax is being spent by visiting my MyGov account tonight. All that spending with nothing much to show for it. The future deficits don’t allow for a business downturn.

No @tgh we are not buying a plane.
Mrscove cannot handle ships out in open oceans so no boat either. She gets seasick so no World cabin.
What we are getting should occur on Monday and we would not want to jinx it.

What probably most of us has been suspecting has now been confirmed by the Chinese - absolutely zero talks have taken place between China and America.

I wonder if the tariffs apply to second hand goods that were made in China and exported to Australia and used then listed on eBay Australia when no longer required - if no tariffs on second hand goods then Australians might be able to make a fortune from desperate Americans!

We will take one for the team by going to the US in May. It should be fun.
Yesterday the market went up strongly then eased back as we head into a long weekend.
Had a read about Australia losing its “lucky country status” as we head into another general election.
We are happy that we don’t love guns here in Australia.
