    You need to finish the point you started, or simply admit you ****ed up because you're clueless and fell for the soundbite. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Maybe this documentary on penguins will help you?

    I won't embarrass you further by posting your previous burblings to this, but here are the questions you are hoping drift away. We can draw a line under your previous guff, and you can have another go at clarifying what you mean.

    Keep in mind that they apply tariffs to the US, and that trade has been registered from there, so waffling about it being a Country or not only highlights your ignorance.

    "You really don't do any looking beyond the headlines do you. <doh>

    You could perhaps explain why the penguins had previously being applying tariffs to the US, hence 'reciprocal'. You could also consider what the Australian export paperwork could show if he hadn't included those islands. :emoticon-0105-wink:"

    Evidence trade has been registered from there?

    Yup, although granted there are some doubts if it was more an admin function, which could give you a clue on the wider answer.

    So, your answers to the questions....

    EDIT:
    According to World Bank export data, the U.S. imported $1.4 million (A$2.23 million) worth of goods from Heard Island and McDonald Islands in 2022, with the vast majority classified as "machinery and electrical" products. The specific nature of these imports remains unclear.

    In the preceding five years, annual imports from the territory fluctuated between $15,000 (A$24,000) and $325,000 (A$518,000).

    Is that a reason to pay someone else a lot of money to own them?

    I'm not sure if this will help break the deadlock, but I thought it best to let you know I sponsor the penguins at Colchester Zoo.

    Feel free to use this information.

    How much were we 'earning' from them? ... or was it just a continual administrative time and money drain?

    It's not like we're giving £36 billion to an ex-Chairman of the jockey club for some virtual medical equipment ... now we really should be outraged about that ... and pursuing the money trail ...

    Bless, it's a news article quoting the actual source. Instead of spinning like a demented top hoping for a way out of your mess, which you are actually ****e at, it's far better all round if you simply accept you ****ed up through your ignorance.

    It would have been better for you if you'd just recognised your answer to both of the questions is clearly 'I have no idea' and moved on.

    I think most of us Brexit voters from 2016 have seen how well France & Germany are doing that we are ready for another vote.
    This time Pootin won't influence me because most of us didn't know what we were voting for

    BP has officially pulled the plug on its low-carbon mobility team, signalling the latest retreat from the costly green energy fantasy. CEO Murray Auchincloss said it was “commercially unviable” to keep pumping resources into electric, hydrogen, and other so-called “low-emission” vehicle technologies. In February BP scrapped it’s five-year-old plan to become a major renewable energy player and slashed its green energy budget by 70%. Red Ed’s green dream is getting the cold shoulder…

    Trump has frozen funding for Biden-era green projects, while the EU is starting to water down its ambitious green regulations. Analysts point to high interest rates, inflation, and more urgent political issues – like wars and security threats – as the reason behind green stock plummeting last month.

    Meanwhile, the OBR predicts net zero taxes on energy bills will rise by 60% as the cost of subsidising renewable energy is expected to hit £20 billion by 2030.

    It ain’t cheap being green…
