Australia will send close to $75 million in additional aid to Ukraine to assist its fight invading Russian forces, including weapons, humanitarian help and 70,000 tonnes of coal.
The federal government has sourced the supply of thermal coal from Whitehaven Coal. It is worth about $28 million with the current thermal coal spot price at about $400 per tonne. The cost of the coal and the shipment will be met by the Australian government. “In my direct discussions with Ukrainian leaders they have told me they need military support, humanitarian assistance and coal to meet their urgent energy needs and that’s exactly what we’re going to provide,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison said.
Another $2 million will be donated to the Emergency Action Alliance Ukraine Appeal. And to make it easier for Australians to donate to countries providing assistance to Ukrainians fleeing the fighting, the list of eligible countries on the Overseas Aid Gift Deduction Scheme will be expanded. Since the invasion of Ukraine began, almost 4500 visas have been issued to Ukrainians and more than 600 Ukrainians have arrived in Australia.
Just as instructed by the USA. Send in weapons to prolong conflict, casualties and destruction. America thrives on constant conflicts.
Thank you MarisePayne
Scummo sends 'COAL to NEWCASTLE'... how good is that, eh? Oh, there is an election on (delete 'war') 🤮 Scott Morrison brings a lump of coal into Australian parliament 'Ukraine's coal reserves are estimated at 60 billion tonnes...'
That’s like handing a handkerchief to a woman who is being beaten by her husband and expecting her to thank you for your help.
What a waste of bloody money. Although, in that it keeps the conflict going on longer, which is what our American masters want, for those in Parliament who supported this, it's money well spent. Got to keep daddy happy.

Why price of Australia's popular instant noodles could be affected by Russia's invasion of UkraineUkraine is one of the world's biggest suppliers of wheat, the main ingredient for instant noodles. However, a prolonged war in the country could leave manufacturers short of supply, driving up the price of the pantry staple. the price of instant noodles will rise if the makers of instant noodles decide it should. Price has virtually nothing to do with production costs and real wages. It’s about availability of real resources. Always has been. Always will be. You are probably the only Australian that cares . Why nothing was reported increases when America invaded Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya? Bias reporting at it best.
