Huh?

Autocorrect may have mangled his post as it did mine. "To be fair, it MAY be just autocorrect"

It’s clear they are not going to end this until they get a cooperative regime with some trade offs. I think that’s going to be a multi month journey. No doubt some other strings are being pulled by some of Irans allies behind the scenes complicating things further.

I think I would be comfortable making booking for July onwards but opt for Flexible Fares perhaps.

In that case it's never going to end. There will have to be compromises on both sides.

I have a couple of bookings through the ME for later this year, and I expect to get a refund in both cases. Worth noting though that EY seems to have removed the ability to request a refund. The other carriers may well follow suit given the cost of not flying and having to pay refunds.

In this case, 'Economics' is correct, as it's the science of economics, not a plural of economy

I'm not referring to what offshore wrote. I am referring to what Tarric Brooker wrote in the post referred to by offshore.

I was wondering when Apostrophe Man would say something

To be fair, it me be just autocorrect or text to speech on the phone...

I know, I get it, but if only you realised how much restraint I show in not donning the cape on a daily/hourly basis.

Sure, but I would argue that a journalist should proof read their work, even their tweets, which these days are at least a quasi-extension of their professional lives and output.

Thank you.

Ignoring the grammar, what do people think of this as a potential Australian govt policy position? Basically, we’ll keep supplying the fuels that your country needs as long as you keep supplying us the fuels we need.


"As volatility in the energy supply market continues, my government will be making it clear that while we will attempt to keep our existing energy export commitments, that comes with an obligation to those whose economies are powered with Australian energy products.

If we supply you with the liquefied natural gas, thermal coal and coking coal to feed your economies, then we expect that you continue to provide us with the refined fuels such as petrol, diesel and jet fuel that we receive from you."


We import much of our refined petroleum products from Singapore, Korea etc. But we also supply them with LNG and coal products. would such a position move Australia up their priority list?

I imagine that there is diplomacy being deployed, however we're probably not going to get interim updates before anything is finalised.

I don’t think diplomacy will have much to do with things. As I mentioned upthread China is not the biggest Aviation fuels provider and its likely cost was the factor in supply. Given one of our two refiners is the major aviation supplier to most airports in Australia and their biggest shareholder is the largest oil trader in the world, in will be in the interests of that shareholder to ensure supply continues!

So how do you think this will play out in the next few weeks? Months….in terms of flight cancellations etc. And impact on world supplies for overseas airlines. Crystal ball?

 

[markis10]

I don’t think we will see much impact, to a certain extent what’s happening with aviation fuel is what’s happening at the bowser, fomo. Reality will hit and things will calm down, unless another force majere event happens. I am in China and there are interesting opportunistic rumblings to the north
