Enter the endless war at own risk

Monday 15 December 2025

MB sympathises with all of those affected by yesterday’s Bondi disaster.

We have only one thing to add to the fury.

The Levantine war has been running in one form or another for over two millennia.

Yet, in the post-OPEC era, it has never been less relevant to Australia.

Why has the Australian government entered into this endless war in any way, shape, or form? We can have no effect on it.

It puts all citizens at risk for the petty game of political point-scoring.

We are literally a planet away and should appreciate that fact.
