@Parsons22Par @BarbaraPocock @blanketcrap Yet our purchasing power seems to deteriorate when the ALP are at the helm.

@BarbaraPocock @blanketcrap Low wages are a feature of LNP beliefs and values

A huge win for young workers! Unfair junior rates for 18-20 year olds have been scrapped by the Fair Work Commission - a decision the Greens have long campaigned for. Real wages of workers have gone backwards as inflation has soared, leaving our young workers behind.

@AmericanExpress your decreasing benefits associated with your Platinum Card in Australia will see me cancelling my card prior to the next renewal. A sentiment I see repeated by many online. You might want to reconsider.

@Georg_ie_C @TimGossage As of the 1st of April.

@TimGossage News reports yesterday stated it should go down by 26 cents!

Petrol in Perth (probably already has on east coast) is set to go down after 6am. 😳 Not the normal action but the PM’s fuel excise relief kicks in. 10 cents a litre seems to be the relief some slightly more . It’s something I guess.

@why_is_it_so @HaveeSnowball @Sauronlordking WA has had a gas reservation policy since the mid 2000’s. I’d suggest Keating floating the dollar / deregulating our financial markets was the seed that became the housing affordability problem. The artificial inflating of our pop’n has just exacerbated these problems.

@HaveeSnowball @Sauronlordking No actually. John Howard set up the blueprint of our 🇦🇺 destruction with no gas reservation policy, giving away our gas and resources for free. Unrestrained Negative Gearing, CGT Discount and THE MASS IMMIGRATION PONZI SCHEME, his Big Australia Policy. Adopted by every Fed Govt!

Kevin Rudd signalled the start of 'Modern Australia'. While some may say the beginning of the end of Australia was with Gough Whitlam, I would say it was actually Kevin Rudd. Simply a traitor. A stripper loving, tax payer rorting traitor. He was the one who started on the Big Australia BS. The mass migration, multicultural rhetoric on steroids. The one who sent housing prices sky rocketing. Just an awful human being.

@MaryKostakidis Hasn’t it been accepted that Peter is buried at the Vatican?

Imagine for a moment this was done by a Muslim group or State.

@tax_oz Vic Libs

You honestly can’t make this up.

@Mon4Kooyong What spending do you propose cutting to make this happen?

Today 63 of Australia’s best minds, including three Nobel prize winners, have written to the PM asking him to immediately boost medical research funding. The letter was led by Prof. John Fraser, who has pioneered world-leading bionic hearts and lungs technology - technology now being developed in the US. Professor Fraser is just one of the many talented researchers within our medical research community - scientists who could do more and develop more if we supported them better. Without investment from the federal government, Australia will continue to generate brilliant ideas for others to commercialise and benefit from. In the upcoming federal budget, the government must spend the money we’ve already put aside for medical research. It'll help our health and help our economy. Find the full story on page 10 of today's Australian newspaper.

@DaveMilbo The condescension in your question alone is on point for pro Greens types. That would also be reason number 1.

Question: Why do you think the Australian Greens can't seem to bust out of the 10-14% range of the vote? Hostile media? Too beuigose? Their candidates? Their messaging? Their Their name? Is Australia just innately pro-war, pro-racism, pro-fossil fuels? The party seems stuck.

@Reel_One_2250 @Peter_Fitz Exactly. Given the battery warranty periods they allow you to prepay 10 years of electricity bills.

@Peter_Fitz From bills? What about the capital outlay? Then you have the replacement cost? Also they keep changing the rules so the grid always wins. Your battery can be used to supply the grid. If there's excess pwr in the grid your panels can be switched off upstream of battery.

How can one hate batteries? They have been far and away the greatest tech break-through for Australians since forever, freeing people from electricity bills, bolstering our energy independence. 40K last year. 500 K by the end of this year! Crazy to oppose them.

@mark_melbin Anika Wells ring a bell?

✈️ Pauline Hanson under fire for swanning around Australia on expensive flights (thanks to Gina) while Aussie battlers/farmers are being devastated by soaring petrol/diesel prices. "No Cost To The Taxpayer!". 💰 It fails the pub test. 🍺 #auspol #insiders #OneNation

@Peter_Fitz Marching against something that doesn’t exist. These clowns are so close to peak retardation it’s not funny.

@SandraEckersley @TheNewOrchard The standard of living has gone backwards under this govt. That’s why people are criticising them.

@TheNewOrchard Stop the whinging. Admit we’ve got it pretty good by any standard.

Australia has one of the highest standards of living in the world, arguably the most beautiful natural environment & endless opportunities. This campaign of fear, hate & bullying that characterizes One Nation & the cashed up Fossil Fuel industry is TOXIC & it needs shutting DOWN.

@QuentinDempster Market driven via govt subsidies?

Greg Sheridan goes on about drilling Australia for more oil/gas re petro crisis. But with Murdochian intellectual dishonesty he ignores/dismisses decarbonisation as the only viable market-driven answer to liberate us from corrupt global cartels and to conserve earth’s biosphere.

@fgx195 @taipan168 So we complain about their entitlement mentality?

@taipan168 Perpetual victims. A bunch of methed up bogans in Perth who complain because people from Sydney and Melbourne dare to ask to benefit from the magic dirt that's dug up in the Pilbara, 2000 odd km away from them but somehow it's magically their money for some reason.

@SimonBanksHB Rort is probably not the correct word for it. Those that can’t afford it / unable to utilise it subsidising those that can is a better description.

Now Andrew Hastie accusing families putting home batteries under the Government's program of paricipating in a rort When pressed can't explain why The LNP are a joke

@SimonBanksHB Can you give us the full costings of Bowen’s Renewables plan?

Andrew Hastie calls for coal to fuel plants to be built in Australia When asked how much they would cost, he can't say Whe asked how expensive the fuel would be, he can't say The LNP are a joke

@ChrisWh53353405 @wattsupwiththat 2nd point, we consumers don’t care what the wholesale price is as we don’t pay it.

@wattsupwiththat That is a total pack of lies from Watts. What's up with That

𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 Think renewables are the cheapest energy source? Wrong. We've got places like South Australia where "free" solar causes prices to crash negative at noon and spike to insane highs later, proving the real cost is in the backups and wiring no one talks about. Steve Carson's deep dive smashes this green myth wide open—why are we ignoring the bills? Fascinating read. Read the full article: wattsupwiththat.com/2026/03/27/ren…

@Mr_Armageddon1 @Millsy197 @coolestdudeva So they might have to roster some to sleep at the hospital. Better that than we start skipping meals due to scarcity.

@SWatMR11 @Millsy197 @coolestdudeva That'll go well for people on call needed urgently, waiting an hour for the next bus and it taking 45 minutes to get 20 mins down the road.

@DAJKeffa @RM_19844 Not uncommon (wife worked in our state’s ed dept for a while). Not sure how it’s solved. Perhaps reducing class size limits as a first pass (however that just exacerbates current shortages).

@SWatMR11 @RM_19844 Just reading about it now. What a tragedy. 20 years old. On another note, check out these recent posts from teachers. Unfortunately, they’re not uncommon. The obvious response might be ‘just quit’, but then, who’s left to teach?

@TheAusInstitute How much tax does @TheAusInstitute pay each year?

A reminder that gas is NOT a vital industry to Australia – if anything, it COSTS the Australian economy. Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could solve the gas crisis – and raise $17 billion every year. ✍ Sign the petition: theaus.in/40WQd2O
