Julie Collins, Australia's Agriculture Minister and part-time price cop, announced the government's latest thrilling quest: monitoring fertiliser price gouging amid Middle East turmoil.

Collins insists the government isnât here to profit off nutrients but wants everyone in the supply chain to 'act in the national interest.' The message is clear: keep your hands off the fertiliser cash cow. Meanwhile, the nation awaits guidance on how to wield their moral compass when buying the McNuggets of agriculture - fertiliser.
