Angus Taylor, My mother is rapidly approaching the end of her life, in aged care. This awful time is being made easier by the tender, thoughtful care by people from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Australia. How dare you talk about ‘Australian Values’ & reboot One Nation/Trump bs about migrants.

It's difficult to see how this US/Israel war will end. Even with the farcical, albeit well-intentioned by Pakistan, negotiating talks - the wrong people (all men, btw) were at that table. Trump and Netanyahu started this. Never forget.

None of the parties involved in these failed talks ever wanted a collective satisfactory outcome. Each of their respective agendas took priority. And that's a disgrace.

The pre-conflict daily average number of ships through the Strait of Hormuz was 138. Passage used to be free, will now cost $2m each. Half goes to Iran, so that’s approx $50 billion per annum in new revenue. He did, in fact, make Iran great again.
