I don't know what magic #Macron has done, but #petrol and #diesel must be super cheap in France given how many #SUV and #RV were out on the roads today.

We had a nice bike ride though, and other than a couple of close passes from impatience drivers it was nice to be out.

“In the past there was a group called ‘Dire Straits.’ It’s a dire strait now, & it is going to have major implications for the #GlobalEconomy. And the longer it goes, the worse it will be for the economic growth & #inflation around the world,” he said.

The impact will be “higher #petrol (#gasoline) prices, higher #gas prices, high #electricity #prices,” Birol told the AP, speaking in his Paris office looking out over the Eiffel Tower.

“So the fuel crisis means Australia’s government is willing to go further in making principled positions, not human misery, not the deaths of men, women and children, not the territorial take over of sovereign land – it’s the economic blowback.

That’s more than a fair question. It’s a fair question to ask our politicians. Moreover, it is a question for all of us. If #petrol wasn’t putting pressure on the purse. If servicing a #mortgage wasn’t hard for many of us. If buying a #home wasn’t out of reach for a lot of us. If the #costofliving wasn’t a major concern for all but the privileged.

It is the answer to this question that defines us as individuals and in turn #Australia, like no other will.
