A Capital Loss
The Coalition hasn't exploited one of the most dangerous tax proposals ever seen. It's a senseless loss of political capital.
Mystery surrounds the sabotage of the Nordstream pipelines but it's easy to see how this can escalate and broaden the conflict
A deliberate act of sabotage has crippled the Russian gas pipelines, Nord Stream 1 & 2, to Europe.
This has occurred just as pressure to remove sanctions of Russian gas supplies was being applied by various European jurisdictions.
This is potentially a massive escalation in the conflict and comes as a super majority of voters in regions within Ukraine  supposedly voted to annex with Russia.
The legitimacy of these referenda is denied by Western governments.
