So China wants a55% tariff on Australian beef!! How about Australia applies a 75% tariff to Chinese EVs, solar panels, wind turbines & electronics!!
Wishful thinking of course. We don’t have any politicians with the balls to retaliate!!

The Tariff only applies to excess beef above their designated ‘quota’.
.
As I understand it … the problem is that China arbitrarily reduced their ‘quota’ by, something like, a third this last year.

Nah. Australia will pay whatever it has to to get those beloved panels and bird choppers.
We’re a captive market – of idiots.
And they absolutely don’t care about borrowing unlimited amounts of money to buy more, what they cost.
As for the other things, the Left politicians would love to see us consume less of those as they WANT a reduced standard of living for non-Elites.

The Amish are making YouTube videos now.
Obviously they are catching up with the 20th century at least.
Interesting.
This is about stabilising rust using cheap chemicals.
The process involves tannic acid which converts the iron oxide rust into ferric tannate which is a stable durable, insoluble, blue-black polymeric substance coating the steel. The polymer is structurally based on chelated metal-ligand coordination bonds. (That was my interpretation, not from the Amish guy.)

There is a difference between the Amish and Mennonites … Mennonites embrace modern convenience whilst the Amish reject them.

Had a wonderful meal at a Mennonite home in Pennsylvania some 35 years ago. They had electrickery, town water and central heating – but the produce they served was all home grown and tasted amazing.
