Why Is Australia Not Already Rationing Fuel?

Why Is Australia Not Already Rationing Fuel?

Why Is Australia Not Already Rationing Fuel? Authored by 'Fast Eddy' via 'The World according to Fast Eddy' substack, I’m an Australian Wholesale Fuel Trader An insider's explanation of what is going on... The commentary below was lifted from a Reddit post. Other than the issues I have already raised in previous articles How Is Iran Blocking and Mining Hormuz? And so it begins.... the question I am asking after reading this analysis is: Why is Australia Not Already Rationing Fuel? I’m the pricing, sales and trading guy at one of Australia’s fuel importers. It’s been an insane two weeks on the trading and supply front, but now it’s the weekend and my brain is still wired running at 150%. My partner asked me last night in detail to explain the overall situation. I thought I’d share my knowledge here and happy to answer questions. I’ll respond when I can throughout this weekend! Note we don’t have any retail sites so I can’t really speak for retail fuel. I also obviously can’t share anything proprietary. 1. Australian fuel is 90% imported these days, mainly from Asia. The Asia refiners are more competitive and have economies of scale that compete Australian refineries, that’s why most of our have closed. Australia for over a decade has not met the internationally agreed 90-day buffer of fuel reserves in the country, we sit a roughly 32 days of stock. This is the fault of both Labor and Liberal governments in the past. Note: it’s easy to store crude oil but much more difficult to store refined products like diesel and petrol, they are flammable and go off after a few months of sitting in a tank. It is very expensive to build brand new storage tanks, which is why no commercial personal is doing it - this is why we import so much oil throughput. 2. Not all crude oils are the same. The Asian refineries are set up to refine medium sour crude (far more experienced chemical engineers, or Google, can give you more info of the API and Gravity ranges of crude oil types). This is mainly produced by the Middle East. It is very hard to replace this crude oil into the refineries at short notice. So it doesn’t matter how many barrels the US releases from its crude stock piles as that is a “light sweet crude” (and is prohibitively expensive on the ocean freight component). Asian refiners have been cancelling contracts and governments like Thailand and China are banning diesel and petrol exports to keep these critical fuels in their own countries. Therefore, it has gotten very expensive to source alternative cargos to supply Australia (something called the MOPS Premia has skyrocketed. So has backwardation). The best analysis I am reading is a soon as the Middle East waterway (Strait of Hormuz) opens up, it will still be 1.5 to 2 months before the Asian refiners are running at full capacity again. Ed: Australia - and I am sure most countries - do not have stored fuel that will last this long even with rationing. The critical mining industry in Australia runs on diesel... If this situation does not urgently get resolved, we will soon be dead men walking. Meanwhile, the world sits on it’s hands watching and refusing to act. Am I alone in thinking there is something wrong with this picture? Note you can’t just shut down a refinery, these things are designed to run 24/7. Shutting down completely puts equipment at serious risk of damage, therefore refiners are choosing to run at say 50% capacity to delay to running out of crude oil feedstock and not damage refinery equipment. 3. While Brent crude has gone from say 70 to 100 USD/barrel (ie roughly 40%), refined products like diesel, petrol and jet fuel, have spiked far higher relatively speaking. This mainly comes down to the regional supply and demand issues being experienced in Asia. Note Australian fuel is roughly priced as Singapore fuel + ocean freight + local costs. Therefore you can’t just take the increase in Brent crude (main type of crude oil) and assume that’s the increase in cost to the fuel that you buy. Diesel seems to be facing far worse supply constraints compared to petrol aka gasoline (and jet fuel even worse than that). I’ll link a great article at the end on why jet fuel is spiking so much more (it’s a free article on substack) 4. Regional Australia wholesale diesel All the oil majors (Mobil, BP, Ampol etc) are understandably holding onto their own product to keep supplying their own retail stations (this was the case last week at least). They stopped selling in the wholesale market. The oil majors years ago largely exited regional Australia and delivery services to farms etc. Independent wholesale business filled in this gap. They do not import their own fuel, but rather buy on the wholesale spot market (where I sell to them), and therefore usually have no term supply guarantees from BP, Ampol etc. Given regional Australia still runs on diesel fuel for all farming, food transportation etc, this is why you hear regional Australia having a fuel crisis more than the cities. This is why I believe that the electrification of key transportation supply chains is critical for Australia’s future. So for Chris Bowen, our Energy Minister, saying he is working with the majors to secure more diesel that is dedicated/prioritised for regional communities, I have no idea how the government are practically going to pull that off (price caps? Allocated volume with some sort of government mandated fixed price? Who knows how it’ll work, but it sounds nice in a speech). 5. Conclusion/generic thoughts This situation isn’t resolving itself anytime soon unfortunately. There is a saying commodity trading - “high prices cure high prices and low prices cure low prices”. When the price sky rockets, demand drops off where possible or supply is increased. When there’s super low prices, supply reduces as said suppliers can’t stay in business selling at those low prices. In this current high prices situation, supply can’t increase right now, so the only lever is to reduce demand. If the price is kept low by governments, demand would stay around, you would have no more supply coming into Australia, and you would eventually run out of fuel. Neither is a good situation, but running out of fuel entirely is probably worse than having some fuel at a high price, which theoretically destroys some flexible demand.

Rat nightmare will continue at beachside 'horror house' following county magistrate hearing

A long-troubled property in Brevard County described by neighbors as a "house of horrors" remains a source of frustration after officials granted the homeowner additional time to clean it up. For nearly a decade, residents along Atlantic Avenue have complained about conditions at the home, citing health and safety concerns including rodents, insects and reports of human waste in nearby yards. The home reached the maximum allowable fines for code violations involving unsafe structures, junk vehicles, and overgrown property. While the homeowner was eventually cleared out and the house officially condemned in December, the problems inside remain. Piles of trash and debris were left behind, creating a breeding ground for rodents that neighbors say multiply every few weeks. "I am shaking at this point," said neighbor Cheryl Cataldo. "I’ve been waiting 10 years to have this house out of my face." Another extension At a magistrate hearing on Thursday, neighbors hoped for a definitive resolution. Instead, the county granted the homeowner another 30-day extension to clear out the trash and debris remaining inside the structure. CLICK TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX LOCAL APP The decision came as a shock to residents, especially since the homeowner did not even show up to the hearing. "Right now, the homeowner is nowhere to be found at this junk house," said neighbor Susan Brennan. "[She] gets more rights than us." Neighborhood nightmare continues The frustration at the hearing grew when the magistrate judge declined to let the gathered neighbors speak. Many had attended specifically to explain the daily reality of living next to the infestation and the stench coming from the property. SIGN-UP FOR FOX 35'S BREAKING NEWS, DAILY NEWS NEWSLETTERS "People came, the neighborhood's here and no one could even take a minute to say yes you can make a comment," Brennan said. "They immediately said no." The lack of progress and the inability to voice their concerns left many in attendance feeling defeated. "I don’t know how to feel right now," Cataldo said. "I am shaking. I am so upset with how things are run, with the county, with the court system, I am just so upset. This is so bad." For those living on Atlantic Avenue, the legal process feels like a barrier to the safety of their own homes. "Very disappointing," Brennan added. "They need to change the laws," said Cataldo. "The laws need to be changed."

Mashle Academy Race & Clan Tier List
2026-03-20

Mashle Academy Race & Clan Tier List

Before grinding for your favorite Magic, I highly recommend getting yourself the best Race and Clan in Mashle Academy. These two aspects of your build will carry you even if you have a lower-tier Magic moveset since they'll complement it well. Here's my Mashle Academy Race and Clan tier list and guide. Table of contents Mashle Academy Race Tier List S-Tier Races A-Tier Races B-Tier Races C-Tier Races Mashle Academy Clan Tier List S-Tier Clans A-Tier Clans B-Tier Clans C-Tier Clans Mashle Academy Race Tier List Image by Destructoid Note that you can start the game with pretty much any race except Human and be happy since they're all good to some degree. This tier list will just nitpick their overall optimality for PVP and harder PVE. The best races in Mashle Academy usually gives you a strong defensive tool for your build or an offensive part of a combo (Like with Demon). Generally with races, unlike Clans, you shouldn't look at rarity since a lot of the best ones are Rares. Let's dive into each race below to analyze both the base passive and advanced active move versions. Tier Breakdowns : S-Tiers are the most powerful races in the game but require skill and timing. A-Tiers are powerful alternatives that don't require as much skill but have a slightly lower power potential. B-Tier races are useful races that are good but just have a lower potential than the others. Hybrid Races : Rankings Coming soon - For now, know that you get these in-game during play by farming drops from specific monsters and then you get their Race abilities plus your base race abilities. Your base race doesn't matter since you can access all Hybrid Races with all base Races (You can't mix base races). Humans get a 25% increased success rate at adaption to Hybrid. S-Tier Races S-Tier Races Ranking Explanation Race Stats Dark Elf Rare Race • In a game all about Magic builds, being able to take reduced Magic damage makes you much tankier • That's why Dark Elf together with Vastaya is the best defensive race • But you also get Dark Sphere which is a reflection counter that blocks Magics and makes you even tankier • That said it does have a long cooldown so try not to spam it and predict high value attacks to block like Darkness' Reaper slash Race Passive • Take 10% reduced damage from all magic power scaling attacks. Race Awakening Move • Dark Sphere : Veil yourself in a dark magic shield that absorbs a singular magic ability then repels that energy in a close explosion. Vastaya Rare Race • Incredibly strong defensive race with better dodges and an insta-dodge ability • The larger perfect dodge frames make it a bit easier to avoid damage • Plus, Hyper Reflex is a frame 1 dodge counter that can be spammed with a 4s CD if you can land it consistently • Otherwise, if you miss-time it, it's a hefty 20s CD so this is a high-reward skill-based race Race Passive • Increased Perfect dodge frames and 10% reduction to fall damage. Race Awakening Move • Hyper Reflex : Your animal instincts are heightened, allowing you to dodge incoming attacks on reflex. A-Tier Races A-Tier Races Ranking Explanation Race Stats Demon Legendary Race • Demon can be quite powerful on certain builds with lifesteal and Blood Severence's high HP scaling damage • You just need to combo it well with other abilities • For example, it's an S-Tier Race if you combine it with Timez' freeze move and Heian Clan's damage boost for burst damage • Otherwise, by itself, I'd value it in A-Tier since it's not OP by itself but still quite good • Leans more towards PVP but the lifesteal makes it good for PVE too Race Passive • Gain 10% life steal on attacks. Race Awakening Move • Blood Severance : Conjure a percentage of your current health into a lethal blood slash executing opponents under the damage threshold. Orc Rare Race • Orc is a pretty good clan both defensively and offensively in PVE and PVP • The main thing you want it for is the AOE howl that reduces defense and slows enemies • This sets them up for combos and makes them a bit easier to catch plus it's AOE so you can affect multiple targets • The defensive aspect is situational since you get defense against muscle moves so it's OP against Burnedead+Muscles Race Passive • Take 10% reduced damage from muscle scaling attacks. Race Awakening Move • Brute’s Bellow : Unleash a bellow of terror, fearing all enemies in your presence. B-Tier Races B-Tier Races Ranking Explanation Race Stats Elf Rare Race • A very useful clan for resource management so that you can spam more moves • Both the active and the passive give you so much more resources to spend • This means you don't have to invest as much into stamina • Overall not the most powerful Race but it's incredible for build utility that's useful in both PVP and PVE Race Passive • Regenerate more stamina per tick. Race Awakening Move • Spirit Soul : Summon two nature spirits that track onto an enemy and detonate and leave behind nature orbs, picking them up will restore your mana. Angel Legendary Race • Angel is pretty decent with its hyperarmor move and enhanced parries • It's nothing too powerful but it's a nice bit of damage you have to finish off low HP enemies since they can't interrupt it • Plus the fact that you don't get knocked back means you can counterattack much more smoothly, especially with the speed boost • The active doesn't really combo well with other moves so it's just a useful Race to have but nothing OP Race Passive • Neutral parries no longer knock you back • Successful parries grant you a temporary speed boost Race Awakening Move • Behold : Defend yourself using your angelic wings before unleashing a torrent of feathers. C-Tier Races B-Tier Races Ranking Explanation Race Stats Human Common Race • A weak and negligible clan for a bit of extra cash on grips • The increased Hybrid success rate doesn't add much mechanically and is just a flavor ability • Note that you can get Hybrid races with any base race, not just Human Race Passives • Greed : Gripping enemies robs more coins from them. • Pure Lineage : 25% Increased Success Rate at adapting to a Hybrid Race Mashle Academy Clan Tier List Image by Destructoid Unlike Magics and Races that have powerful non-Legendary options, Clans tend to be one-sided in power with the best ones just being higher rarities - Legendaries. That said, not all Legendary Clans are made equal and there are some decent Rares that are good starters. In general, you can combine most S-Tier and A-Tier Clans and Races for a good build but some work better with others like Demon and Heian or Burnedead and the Muscles Magic. Let's dive into each individual clan and elaborate the rankings. Related : Check out the full list of all Magics in Mashle Academy and their movesets. S-Tier Clans S-Tier Clans Ranking Explanation Razor Legendary Clan • Since a lot of builds rely on Magic/Wand, Razor is incredibly powerful for disabling magic skills • With a max Rank A duration of 20 seconds it's basically an auto-win against full or high Magic builds • You just have to land it and not be fighting a Burnedead/Muscles build and you're good Ira Kreuz Legendary Clan • Ira Kreuz has a lower power potential than Razor but in return it's always good no matter the situation • A scaling percentage-based damage boost is always powerful • Easily either the best or one of the best Clans in the game A-Tier Clans A-Tier Clans Ranking Explanation Heian Legendary Clan • Similar to Burnedead, Heian is situationally incredibly powerful, but less specific and more flexibile than BD • Ancient Chant is just a damage multiplier on your next move • If you combine this with things like Timez's freeze (which doesn't proc Heian) and then a high base damage move like Demon Race's Severence it's OP • There's such a high damage potential but it also depends on what you use it with • So it's A-Tier by itself and S-Tier with the right build Burnedead Legendary Clan • I put Burnedead in A-Tier since its power is dependent on you combining it with Muscles Magic • If you have a Burnedead/Muscles build, it's easily S-Tier and one of the most powerful builds in the game • Otherwise, its non-Magic buffs are situational B-Tier Clans B-Tier Clans Ranking Explanation Zero Legendary Clan • The Mastery boost and the extra points is pretty decent and overall useful • That said, at the end of the day in late-game, it's not that impactful as an anti-magic move or a damage boost Doom Legendary Clan • Being able to see your enemy's HP and Stamina is excellent info for PVP and decent for PVE • Especially with something like Waters Magic to gauge how much Stamina you're draining • This helps you plan whether your opponent is going to counter-attack or retreat or try to M1 until they regen • That said, it's not overall as powerful as the higher-tier Clans C-Tier Clans This Tier and D-Tier is mostly for Rare clans where they're generally much weaker than Legendary Clans. That said, some Rare Clan highlights I like are Perfect for blocking more often on perfect blocks, Macaron for more Evasions and Grantz for more recovery. Those are the best rares and can compete with the lower-tier Legendaries. That's it for my Mashle Academy Clan and Race tier list and guide. Check out our Mashle Academy codes for free goodies.

Anthropic just shipped an OpenClaw killer called Claude Code Channels, letting you message it over Telegram and Discord

Anthropic just shipped an OpenClaw killer called Claude Code Channels, letting you message it over Telegram and Discord

The hit open source autonomous AI agent OpenClaw may have just gotten mogged by Anthropic. Today, Anthropic announced Claude Code Channels, a way to hook up its own powerful Claude Code AI agentic harness to a human user's Discord or Telegram messaging applications, letting them message Claude Code directly whenever they want while on the go and instruct it to write code for them. Official documentation is here . This isn't just a new UI; it is a fundamental shift in how developers interact with AI agents, moving from a synchronous "ask-and-wait" model to an asynchronous, autonomous partnership. Previously, Claude Code users were stuck interacting with the agentic harness on the Claude desktop application, terminal or supported developer environment, and Claude mobile app through a somewhat flaky (in my experience) interconnection setting called Remote Control . Now, Anthropic is offering some of the same core functionality as OpenClaw that drove its rapid adoption among software developers and vibe coders following its release in November 2025 by Austrian developer Peter Steinberger (who, ironically, originally called his project "Clawd" in honor of Anthropic's own AI model Claude which powered it initially, until Anthropic sent him a cease-and-desist for potential trademark violations. Steinberger was since hired by Anthropic's rival OpenAI. ) Central to OpenClaw's appeal was its capability of allowing users to have a persistent, personal AI worker that they can message 24/7, whenever they feel like, over common messaging apps such as iMessage, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp and Discord, and have their AI message them back — not just to chat with, but to perform real work for them on its own, from writing, sending and organizing email and files to creating whole applications , applying for jobs on the user's behalf, to managing complete ongoing social marketing campaigns. When the AI finishes a task, it can immediately alert the human user over their preferred messaging platform. But OpenClaw also came with a high degree of security risk (since it could be given access to a user's hard drive and file system, or other personal information, and run amok) and difficulty for non-technical users, inspiring a wave of offshoots promising greater ease and security, including NanoClaw , KiloClaw and Nvidia's recently announced NemoClaw . By giving Claude Code this same basic functionality — the ability for users to message it from popular third-party apps Discord and Telegram, and have it message them back when it finishes a task — Anthropic has effectively countered OpenClaw's appeal and offered something it does not: the Anthropic brand name with its commitment to AI security and safety, and ease of use right out of the box for less technically inclined users. Technology: The Bridge of the Model Context Protocol At the heart of this update is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) open source standard that Anthropic introduced back in 2024 . Think of MCP as a universal USB-C port for AI: it provides a standardized way for an AI model to connect to external data and tools. In the new "Channels" architecture, an MCP server acts as a two-way bridge. When a developer starts a Claude Code session with the --channels flag, they aren't just opening a chat; they are spinning up a polling service. Using the Bun runtime—known for its extreme speed in executing JavaScript—Claude Code monitors specific plugins (currently Telegram and Discord). When a message arrives, it is injected directly into the active session as a <channel> event. Claude can then use its internal tools to execute code, run tests, or fix bugs, and reply back to the external platform using a specialized reply tool. The technical achievement here is persistence. Unlike a standard web-chat that times out, a Claude Code session can now run in a background terminal or a persistent server (like a VPS), waiting for a "ping" to spring into action. How to set up Claude Code Connectors on Telegram and Discord Setting up these native connectors requires Claude Code v2.1.80 or later and the Bun runtime installed on your desktop PC or Mac. Follow the instructions here or below. 1. Setting up Telegram Create your Bot: Open BotFather in Telegram and use the /newbot command to generate a unique bot and access token. Install the Plugin: Inside your Claude Code terminal, run: /plugin install telegram@claude-plugins-official Configure the Token: Run /telegram:configure <your-token> to save your credentials. Restart with Channels: Exit Claude and restart using the channel flag: claude --channels plugin:telegram@claude-plugins-official Pair your Account: DM your new bot on Telegram to receive a pairing code, then enter it in your terminal: /telegram:access pair <code> 2. Setting up Discord Create an Application: Go to the Discord Developer Portal, create a "New Application," and reset the bot token to copy it. Enable Intents: In the Bot settings, you must enable Message Content Intent under "Privileged Gateway Intents." Install and Configure: In Claude Code, run /plugin install discord@claude-plugins-official followed by /discord:configure <your-token> . Launch and Pair: Restart with claude --channels plugin:discord@claude-plugins-official . DM your bot on Discord and use the /discord:access pair <code> command to finish the link. Product: From Desktop to "Everywhere" The immediate practical impact is the democratization of mobile AI coding. Previously, if a developer wanted to check a build status or run a quick fix while away from their desk, they had to rely on complex self-hosted setups like OpenClaw. With Channels, the setup is native. A developer can create a Telegram bot via BotFather, link it to Claude Code with a /telegram:configure command, and "pair" their account with a security code. Once configured, the phone becomes a remote control for the development environment. The product also introduces a "Fakechat" demo—a local-only chat UI that allows developers to test the "push" logic on their own machine before connecting to external servers. This reflects Anthropic’s cautious, "research preview" approach, ensuring developers understand the flow of events before exposing their terminal to the internet. Licensing: Proprietary Power on Open Standards The licensing implications of this release highlight a growing trend in the AI industry: proprietary engines running on open tracks. Claude Code remains a proprietary product tied to Anthropic’s commercial subscriptions (Pro, Max, and Enterprise). However, by building on the open-source Model Context Protocol, Anthropic is encouraging a developer ecosystem to build the "connectors" that make their model more useful. While the core Claude "brain" is closed, the plugins for Telegram and Discord are being hosted on GitHub under official Anthropic repositories, likely allowing for community contributions or forks. This strategy allows Anthropic to maintain the security and quality of the model while benefiting from the rapid innovation of the open-source community—a direct challenge to the "free" but often fragmented nature of purely open-source agent frameworks. And because it's built on MCP, the community can now build "Connectors" for Slack or WhatsApp themselves, rather than waiting for Anthropic to ship them. Community Reactions: 'The OpenClaw Killer' The response from users, especially AI observers on X, was swift and definitive. The sentiment was best captured by Ejaaz (@cryptopunk7213) , who noted that Anthropic’s speed of shipping—incorporating texting, thousands of MCP skills, and autonomous bug-fixing in just four weeks—was "fucking crazy." For many, this update renders local-first agent frameworks obsolete. BentoBoi ( @BentoBoiNFT ) observed, "Claude just killed OpenClaw with this update. You no longer need to buy a Mac Mini. I say this as someone who owns a one lol," referring to the common practice of developers buying dedicated hardware to run open-source agents like OpenClaw 24/7. By moving this persistence into the Claude Code environment, Anthropic has simplified the "hardware tax" for autonomy. AI YouTuber Matthew Berman summarized the shift succinctly : "They've BUILT OpenClaw." The consensus among early adopters is that Anthropic has successfully internalized the most desirable features of the open-source movement—multi-channel support and long-term memory—while maintaining the reliability of a tier-one AI provider. While Anthropic’s Claude has long been a favorite for its reasoning, it remained a "brain in a jar"—a stateless entity that waited for a user to type before it could think. Meanwhile, open-source projects like OpenClaw thrived by offering "always-on" persistence, allowing developers to message their AI from Telegram or Discord to trigger complex workflows. Now, with Anthropic closing the gap, it's up to the users to choose which approach is best for them.
