In 2013, a retired Air Vice-Marshal named John Blackburn wrote a report for the NRMA warning that Australia had adopted a “she’ll be right” approach to fuel security.
He warned that a conflict in the Middle East would disrupt supply chains and leave Australia exposed within weeks.
He warned that without adequate liquid fuel, food production and distribution would be severely curtailed, most businesses could not operate, and our Defence Forces could not function
He warned that Australia was the only IEA member noncompliant on the 90 day reserve requirement, and that actual usable supply was clo

The next few months matter more than most people realise.
Markets are still fragile,BTC hasn’t confirmed a bottom, and macro is pointing toward one more flush.
You can still start accumulating now , a discount this big off the highs isn’t a bad entry. DCA will take the stress out of timing the perfect bottom.
I’m not going all in yet. If we get a flush lower, that’s when I want to capital ready. When the fear is at its worst and nobody wants to touch it , that’s historically been the window.
Stack cash, be patient, the opportunity is building.

An AI agent at Meta caused another data breach this week
An engineer asked a question on an internal forum. Another engineer had an agent analyse it, the agent posted the wrong advice without being told to and the engineer who read it followed the instructions.
That triggered a chain reaction that gave unauthorised employees access to Meta’s proprietary code, business strategies and user data for 2 hours.
Meta classified it Sev 1 (their second highest severity level)
Last month Meta’s head of safety had an agent delete her entire inbox without permission.
Only days after that, Meta bought Mo

When oil spikes everything gets more expensive.
Fuel is the cost underneath every other cost. It moves food, medicine, and goods. When it spikes, inflation follows within weeks.
We’re already seeing it now-
Petrol is up 50 cents a litre in Australian cities since late February
Diesel shortages are hitting regional areas and farmers mid planting season
Jet fuel is tightening, airfares are next
Shipping costs are rising which flows into the price of everything imported.
The most hidden hit is interest rates.
If fuel driven inflation stays elevated, the rate cuts don’t happen. Every mortgage ho

Australia just hiked rates to 4.10%. Second hike in a row, decided by 1 vote.
Every other major central bank this week is on hold, Australia is the only one raising.
The Iran war didn’t create the inflation, it just added fuel price pressure on top of an already overheating domestic economy
All 4 big banks are now calling another hike in May. That would wipe out every single cut from 2025.
Michele Bullock (governor of the RBA) has said recession isn’t out of the question.

Australia’s defence minister confirmed today that data collected by the Australian E-7 Wedgetail aircraft is being fed directly into the US combined air operations in Qatar, the same hub directing strikes on Iran.
Albanese has been on television for 2 weeks saying Australia is “not taking offensive action.” Technically true. The bombs aren’t Australian. But the eyes finding the targets? Those are.
Pine Gap, the US satellite base in Alice Springs, has been doing a version of this quietly for 50 years. Most Aussies have no idea it exists, let alone that it now hosts 45 satellite dishes with surv

The SEC just issued an official interpretation stating that most crypto assets are not securities.
Paul Atkins said ‘the former administration refused to recognize that most crypto assets are not themselves securities’
This is the clarity we have been asking for since 2017.
