⏱️This edition of the National Account’s newsletter is a six-minute read.
👋 G’day everyone, Archie here. I don’t know about you, but it has certainly been a full-on week for me.
To top it off, I am going out tonight to the biggest gamble in live entertainment, stand up comedy. So fingers crossed the comics are funny and, if they’re not, that I don’t heckle. That could be stressful.
I do hope you can find a moment to have a laugh over the weekend.
You gotta get naked - ideally before your inside - put your clothes in a plastic bag and get them away from you.
🗣️ Why does it say that?
The Australian government has actually published advice in the event Aussies are involved in a nuclear incident. It turns out that removing clothing can get rid of up to 90 percent of the radioactive contamination you have been exposed to.
What is an “emergency exposure”, and what are you supposed to do if you’re involved in one?
For my full rundown check out today’s video:
In case you missed it
Iran’s blockage of the Strait of Hormuz has halted about 20 percent of the world’s oil, along with other products like the nitrogen fertiliser urea, sending prices soaring.
The Gippsland Monitor’s Jacob Wallace appeared on the podcast and explained two thirds of Australia’s urea comes from the Persian Gulf.
That has real consequences for Aussie farmers.
Jacob said farmers are either skipping fertilising paddocks for a season, hedging their bets prices will come down by next season to make up for it, or switching to alternatives.
Below is a snippet from the chat 👇. You can watch the full thing here.
Thanks for catching up with me. If you have any thoughts on these newsletters or ideas for what I should cover, just click reply and write away.
No idea is too silly, trust me.
I’ll be back on Monday.
Cheers, Archie
