Australian gas producers reap windfalls as Iran war chokes global supply Angela Macdonald-Smith Angela Macdonald-Smith Senior resources writer Mar 6, 2026 – 1.38pm Save Share Gift this article Listen to this article 7 min Australia’s biggest gas producers are cashing in on the conflict in the Middle East and the suspension of Qatari LNG production, which has disrupted global supply, with deals struck at more than double recent market rates. Santos, the country’s second-biggest listed oil and gas producer, finalised a deal with a commodities trader on Wednesday for the sale of an LNG cargo at about $US25 ($35) per million British thermal units (MMBtu), according to market sources, who were not authorised to speak publicly.

NSW ‘amused’ by Victoria’s claim to be in the data centre race Paul Karp Paul Karp NSW political correspondent Mar 4, 2026 – 5.26pm Save Share Gift this article Listen to this article 5 min NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey says he is so confident the state is the destination of choice for the multibillion-dollar data centre boom that it can set higher standards on power and water use, and he finds it amusing that Victoria considers itself in competition with its northern neighbour. “NSW is always going to remain, itself, as a premium destination for data centres,” Mookhey told a state parliament estimates hearing on Wednesday. The data centre building boom is one of the key trends to watch in 2026. Bethany Rae “Victoria, I’m sure, sees itself in competition with us – they always do. “And it’s not just in data centres – it’s in coffee, it’s in hotels, it’s in weather, sporting events. “We don’t consider ourselves in competition with Victoria, and I’m always amused they see themselves in competition with us.” Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has declared her government will be

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has declared her government will be “ruthless” in competition to attract data centres to her state, which has about 50 data centres to NSW’s 90. Companies including AirTrunk, Microsoft, NextDC, CDC and Amazon Web Services have beaten a path to the doors of senior ministers in both states to urge an accelerated rollout. Victoria approved a $1 billion NextDC facility in Port Melbourne in just 75 days. Asked by NSW shadow treasurer Scott Farlow at estimates whether NSW would aim to match that, Mookhey said the Minns government was yet to decide whether it would set a time target for approvals. “We don’t see ourselves in competition with Victoria,” Mookhey added. He said demand to build data centres in NSW was so high that the state could afford to set higher standards – yet to be released – on power and

New South Wales and Victoria in a desperate fight to see which state can boost their coal power plants through uncontrolled data centre bloat - fighting for both speed and scale

What a cool race to be running 🫠

No. Just fucking no. FFS, this government.

The Gulf States are receiving Iranian counterattacks because they are facilitating the US/Israeli assault on Iran. There are American airfields and radars there.

Involvement in shielding those airfields would constitute active collaboration in the US war on Iran.

There is nothing neutral about it.

Lebanon’s Social Affairs Minister Haneen Sayed has announced that approximately 454,000 Lebanese people have registered as displaced. She urged those who have not yet registered to do so, and said the Sports City Stadium in Beirut would be opened as a shelter for families in the municipality. In Akkar there are also multiple shelters. Sayed added that “hot meals and food rations are being distributed in various Lebanese regions in cooperation with organisations and associations, with numbers increasing gradually to ensure no person is left without food.”

Israeli attacks on Lebanon have displaced more than 454,000 people in just a few days.

454,000 people. Because they felt like bombing Beirut.

Only a week into the war and they have started hitting fuel storage and refineries.

And some on here questioned it. I am sorry. If you had been paying close attention to what they did in Gaza, you would have known what was coming.

They were preoccupied with arguing about which side to join.

And they never did settle the question; the IJN decided for them.

The US Second Amendment exists in order to facilitate the attempted extermination of Indigenous Americans and aid in the suppression of slave revolts.

This neatly encapsulates The Dipshit Paradox:

Any ignorance creating sufficiently damaging effects will become indistinguishable from malice. Any sufficiently damaging malice will be abetted by ignorance. We must never exonerate malice simply because it can easily be explained by stupidity.

I would argue they knew exactly what they were doing, which was deliberately sabotaging needed public works programs by offering snake oil they never had any intention of delivering.

Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers returned her trophy, the president resigned and 16 members have quit, with more considering their positions.

They knew exactly what they were doing which was to sell snake oil and make sure that actual mass transit and high speed rail never got developed.

That project was a success.

I want to shake these people and scream in their faces "OBVIOUSLY IT WAS A RUSE FOR THE PURPOSE OF SABOTAGING AND DIVERTING RESOURCES AWAY FROM PUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH HE OPENLY HATES. ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID!? GIVE ME YOUR WALLET!"

Democrats will not stop Trump's imperial rampage because they agree with it and finally have the chance to get their wettest foreign policy dreams fulfilled all while feigning outrage and pretending to their base that they're against it without lifting a single finger to prevent it.

NSW coroner ‘very troubled’ by health policy change after Stolen Generations member dies in custody Yuin man Gregory Merriman did not have a chronic health screening before suffering a fatal heart attack in Silverwater prison in 2022

Merriman was found unresponsive in his cell 30 minutes after being exposed to CS spray (tear gas) sprayed by prison officers attempting to contain a fight in a common area of the prison.

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to “take all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”
