Brexit has completely failed for UK, say clear majority of Britons – poll (www.theguardian.com)

A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a landmark poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK fully leaving the EU single market and customs unions.

The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has been of benefit to them or the country.

Maybe in DE and UK, but Australia is a major energy producer, compared to our population. That doesn't hold up for Australia, NZ, etc etc

Oh dear. Sorry I misread “Australia, Germany” as “Austria, Germany”.

Germany, definitely Russian oil. Australia, no clue mate ;)

That makes sense. I didn't click that you might have thought Austria.

However the bulk of Australian natural gas is contracted to be shipped overseas (mostly to china), so despite the abundance of the resource it's mostly not available for local usage. Besides even if it was world market prices will prevail. If you think Clive, Woodside or Gina are going to cut a discount to the aussie public when they can make more shipping it overseas then I have a bridge for sale

Ahhh I was hoping am Aussie would chime in. Totally agree.

WA is the only state to enforce a minimum domestic percentage. QLD for example, has screwed us (qlder here). The Russian gas drama actually impacted us a little, which is madness considering the volume we produce.

Love our corrupted "representatives" working hard for us.
