Oh interesting, thats part of the same family as Geraldton waxs, the myrtles? I can see that kind of thing going really well with gin. Next time i have some, i’ll have to pick some and infuse it myself, see if its good.

Yeah, its definitely noticeable. The problem for them is it undermines legitimate points they might make at times. Especially when they target a smaller platform like AZ.

The PM has been on the phone this week putting Australia’s case to gain an exemption from US tariffs on alluminium and steel.

A key talking point was the fact that we need good supply of these for our airline industry.

Oh, and btw this incident involving an Australian surveillance plane just occurred with China.

Whether its a bit of good luck, or Australia and China nodding at each other about US tariffs. Or whether it Australia acting of its own accord.

This has now become a billboard demonstration for the US executive of why Australia must maintain these industries.

side note:

• Does OP ever post anything but negative stories about China? If this is the case, should we be engaging with their posts?

The fundamental problem is that housing has become a product and an investment market, rather than the right outlined by Leo O’Connor 82 years ago.

Its so exciting people are starting to recognise and experiment with native Australian ingredients. They’ve been sat there in plain sight for so long, and are just so great.

I’s able to go to Wildflower a few years back, its a restaurant in Perth CBD with a focus on these ingredients. The things they did with things like desert lime, wattle seeds etc were so delicious, geraldton wax, the bold freshness of so much of it was really surprising.

The most surprising thing was the paired mocktails, infused again with all kinds of native australian ingredients. I’s having the paired wines, my partner was having paired mocktails, and the mocktails were so much better than the wines.
