PM on Trump being angry with us for not joining him in the strait of Hormuz
Our PMs thoughts on the matter
Regards to all
An unusual thing for our Prime Minister to address our nation, the last time was during Covid (different PM then).
This time it is about the war in Iran and the fuel crisis.

The world wants to eliminate cervical cancer - how Australian scientists led the way
After decades of research, Australian scientists had developed a pioneering new jab, named Gardasil, which could prevent HPV - and it had been approved by the medicines regulator. One year later, Australia became the first country in the world to roll out a national vaccination programme.
Along with its broad vaccination programme - which in 2013 was expanded to include boys, who can be carriers of the virus - it also has a high-grade screening scheme.
In 2017, Australia was one of the first countries to transition from a pap smear to a more sensitive HPV-based cervical screening, which is only required every five years.
The nation was also one of the first to offer women the option of collecting a sample themselves - which the government has described as a "game-changer", particularly for those apprehensive about pelvic exams, or people with time and healthcare access barriers.
Assessors have published a report stating the country is on track to meet its target of eliminating the cancer by 2035 - and it may even get there early.
Since 1982, when records began, incidence and mortality rates for cervical cancer in Australia have both halved.
"There's sort of a good-natured, almost race emerging between some countries about who will reach elimination first," Canfell says.
Canfell emphasises that although there are excellent examples of infectious disease control, such as HIV prevention and management, the approach to cervical cancer has been unique and a true global effort.
"It's the first time that the WHO, and globally, we've said we're going to eliminate a cancer," says Canfell.
"That's actually a new concept for cancer."
