    If it is, then why doesn’t he spell out what deals he made to secure #Fuel supplies. That’s my No1 beaf with him.

    Secondly, any #GasTax imposed now will have “No” effect on current constracts, all of which (I deduce from what I’ve read so far) are multi-year contracts, including #Japan (also has extensive refinery production and stockpiles of #Crude and #Gas) which is has multi-multi-year contracts at cheapest prices allowing them to #OnSell gas and make a profit on it (should be our profits).

    Another possibility is that #Japan is a hefty #Investor (Shareholders) in the biggest Australian gas projects and #AlboPM is afraid to mess with such a ‘good’ relationship (even thought Japan is screwing us left, right, and centre)

    So yes, good guesses. None of them (including mine) very convincing if this is what #AlboPM is so ‘mum’ about, unless there there is more to it. In which case, what is so ‘secret’ about it that he can’t bring himself to tell us? No, he’s just a #SecretiveLittleGnome I doubt his cabinet even knows the truth.

    This is probably more effort than you're looking for but, for the past 20 years, I've been recording my reading on #LibraryThing . One collection I maintain there is my Wishlist and each time I add a work to the Wishlist I try to tag it with why I'm interested in reading it. A recent tag I've been using a lot is 'bookstodon-inspired'. 🙂

    Over time, I've come to the conclusion that it's best to reject purchasing any ebooks which come wrapped in #DRM - they are just too much of a hassle. This is hard as there aren't many publishers that don't use it (the best known to me are #Tor and #Baen ) plus for indie authors there is #Smashwords . Sadly, this only leaves hardcopies or library borrowing for the rest (unless you resort to piracy, which has its own issues).

    I listen to #TheWatch, a podcast from 2 working Hollywood scriptwriters. "Masterclass" is the exact terminology they have used.
    They also interviewed #TonyGilroy, showrunner of #Andor, several times in 2022.

  14. A quotation from Wilde

    GWENDOLEN: On an occasion of this kind it becomes more than a moral duty to speak one’s mind. It becomes a pleasure.

    Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish poet, wit, dramatist
    The Importance of Being Earnest, Act 2 (1895)
