Strong wind gusts are expected at Darwin by tomorrow morning and the cyclone is not showing any signs of weakening. We're hoping as it hits the land it will lose some intensity, but there's no doubt a serious cyclone is on the way.

We would be unlucky if that happened again. On the other hand, because of the size of this cyclone, we are certainly going to be affected by at least gales.

It won't be quite as bad as this morning, but wind gusts of 45 miles per hour can be felt on your car.

Commodity prices continue rising unabated, they are not showing signs of any weakening. Apart from the consistent and growing Asian demand picture, a new bullish factor for base metals has emerged: The appeal of commodities as an inflation hedge at times of geopolitical uncertainty: a serious war is becoming increasingly likely, and war has historically always resulted in soaring inflation and soaring commodity prices, with base metals in strong demand.

I know, I know, but that's the way it is. But for sure I am not shaving it tomorrow morning. I guarantee that.

This is not a regime that is showing any signs of bowing to international pressure.
