Hello to all my new friends in Japan!
My name is Vanessa. I am originally from Australia, but I currently live in Dubai. I own 8 racehorses and also trade cryptocurrencies. I usually post about financial markets. I’m happy to meet you all! I want to learn more about you and hope to meet interesting people.
Maybe you can teach me about Japan.

Australia just halved its fuel tax.
26 cents off per litre (approximately $19 off a full tank) effective Wednesday.

❌ Truck drivers delivering your food
❌ You
$40 at current prices is about 15 litres. Roughly 200km.
This law has existed since 1984 and never invoked.

600 petrol stations across Australia ran out of fuel this week according to Bloomberg
Just over 20 years ago we had 8 refineries and produced 98% of our own fuel. Today we have only 2
The governments emergency plan in 2020 was to buy 1.7 million barrels and store them in underground salt caverns in Texas. But only 2 years later they sold it all . It was never replaced. Australia currently has zero government owned oil reserves anywhere on earth and no tankers to bring any home anyway.
Our government’s message today is to “be a good neighbour, don’t panic buy”
Mid April is when the last confir

Sounds like the war may stop in the next 5 days.

Australia’s largest ammonia plant just shut down for 2 months after a power outage.
Ammonia is what makes fertiliser. It’s also what makes the explosives used to blast iron ore out of the ground (Australia’s largest export)
The timing could not be worse.

Looking forward to telling my grandchildren about living through COVID and WWIII

It’s awfully quiet today…
