@AvidCommentator The only explanation for why Albo hasn’t done a big board is because supplies haven’t actually been secured.

Its way past time the Albanese government was transparent with about the fuel situation. If supplies have been secured, that's great. Show us a big board on a website with each tanker secured vs scheduled, so people can feel reassured instead of kept in the dark.

@MarkoMatvikov I guess that is the key demographic that votes for Labor and is the age of many of the advisors in Parliament.

@HenryAust1 It's like he was preselected to communicate with people under the age of 25.

I appreciate Andrew's tone here - so great, let's talk facts: Labor initially downplayed the adverse impacts of migration before promising to reduce it. Only a tiny fraction of migrants in recent years are construction workers. Skills shortage is another way of saying excess demand, which migration is a major contributor to. Improving productivity is the most sustainable way to bringing down inflation and improving real wages, which isn't even mentioned. You talk about expensive energy without acknowledging you were elected on the promise of making it cheaper while it’s gotten more expensive. Since your government was elected in 2022, bulk billing rates are significantly lower and out-of-pocket costs are significantly higher.

@NoticerNews One Nation will soon, and permanently, become the most popular political party in Australia. The voice of the people.

One Nation is now just 3% behind Labor, and the Coalition has fallen to 17%, according to a new poll. The survey also found most Australians blame Trump for the fuel crisis, not Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. noticer.news/one-nation-3-b…

@heidimur Not fare-free, Myki readers are still deducting fares.

Happy first day of a fare-free month of PT travel in Melb. And for those asking what the ticket inspectors will do for the month.. here’s everything ELSE they can be alert to/fine you for:

@EnergyWrapAU It’s particularly sick given that the exact same people who promote weather dependent energy also promote the idea that there is massive uncertainty associated with the future weather.

I’ll never understand this sick fascination with linking every industry to a single point of failure - the weather.

@theepicmap Because the average house in Australian cities costs $1 million!

Why don't people immigrate via boats from papau to Australia

@Ryandally08 Labor’s fuel excise is reduced by 25c for 3 months, but Labor’s GST is increased by 10c+ and the product can’t be found.

#BREAKING Anthony Albanese says that he will halve the fuel excise tax for the next 3 months. He could have just paused the entire tax until this conflict is over. To make up the shortfall, he should stop donating to Ukraine. That’ll save billions.

@SpectatorOz This is a good outcome. It hastens the demise of the Liberal Party and will strengthen One Nation in Victoria.

Farewell to conservative favourite Moira Deeming, who lost this weekend's preselection to Indian community leader Dinesh Gourisetty 37-29 against her. One Nation has already made overtures sparking debate over whether or not she should don the orange shirt at the state election later this year... Article | spectator.com.au/2026/03/victor…

No-one in Australia is calling out the incredibly dangerous Left/Islamist alliance which has formed here. Tony Blair is doing so in the UK.

@AvidCommentator It’s just basic financial common sense to zero out Australia’s refugee intake and to provide assistance in low cost countries. It’s incredibly harmful to vulnerable people to help just 1 in Australia compared to 50 in low cost countries with the same funds.

The average refugee costs the Australian taxpayer roughly half a million dollars over the course of their life. And that is including the ones who achieved gainful employment. How does it make sense spending tens of thousands of dollars per year to feed and house 1 refugee in Australia, when you could feed 50 or 100 in a time of famine overseas with the same resources?

Surely, we rip up the ridiculous agreement with New Zealand and deport the over 1 mn Kiwis first?! Pick on those that are buying our houses, taking our jobs, not those that or in a position to apply for asylum. Sorry, Tarric, you just sound like an old racist guy...

@elonmusk In Australia, not only do we have no voter ID requirement, no party even dares to campaign for it.

It is the end of democracy if voter ID is not passed

@AntipodeEmpire It was absolutely not in Australia’s interest to add the Maori situation into our mix. There is very little strategic benefit from controlling the NZ landmass. Just look at the cost which is imposed on Australia from the open borders arrangement that we have with NZ.

Would New Zealand be in a better position today if it had joined Australia upon federation?

@RenzoKable @DrewPavlou Ensuring that a country has reliable, affordable and abundant energy is one of the most important tasks for a government. Establishing a world class nuclear agency is achievable and affordable for any government which takes that task seriously.

Yes you need a good nuclear agency to oversee them though look at these examples cbsnews.com/news/radioacti… edition.cnn.com/2021/06/14/pol… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_r… I do believe with a world leading nuclear agency as for example Russia’s Rosatom Australia could have a future with nuclear energy

Australia spent approximately $680 billion on social security and welfare over the past five years. I propose that we instead spend $600 billion to build 30 publicly owned nuclear reactors - capital costs should be fully socialised by the government in the manner of Gaullist France’s nuclear program. This way you would cut the wholesale energy retail price by 60-70%, completely revitalising the manufacturing sector. Right now manufacturing is at a record low share of our GDP (5% - 130 billion). Partial re-industrialisation back toward 10–12% of GDP from 5% would add $130–180 billion in annual economic output. Manufacturing has one of the highest economic multipliers of any sector, typically 1.5–2x, because factories buy inputs, employ workers who spend locally, and create supply chains. A reasonable multiplier puts the total economic impact closer to $270–360 billion in annual GDP uplift. This creates an additional 100 billion in tax revenue each year. So it would pay for itself in under 10 years. To do this you need to create a sovereign nuclear authority with its own balance sheet, borrowing capacity, and statutory insulation from political interference. France did this with their EDF, making it structurally independent from annual budget cycles. It actually works

@RenzoKable @DrewPavlou 32 countries, many much poorer than Australia, have nuclear power plants. Clearly Labor/Greens think Australians are too dumb for nuclear.

@HenryAust1 @DrewPavlou Do you have any idea how much knowledge Australia has in the nuclear field domestically it’s practically 0

@KosSamaras For those who don’t know, this is who Kos is promoting:

This is why the UK Greens are succeeding. And it’s a lesson the Australian Greens need to learn. Meet Mothin Ali. Deputy Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales. Son of a Bangladeshi immigrant who came to the UK in the 1960s and worked as a unionised steelworker in Sheffield. Mothin grew up in that world, the world of shift work, union solidarity and communities holding each other together. He’s now a Leeds councillor in Gipton and Harehills, one of England’s most deprived wards, where 40% of residents are Muslim and the cost of living is a daily crisis. He’s not the stereotype of a working-class northerner. But his family has been in those communities just as long as anyone. His father worked the same steel. Paid into the same union. Felt the same deindustrialisation tear through the same streets. Mothin Ali is working-class Britain, as it actually exists in 2026, not as a sepia photograph. We could say the same about the working class in Australia in 2026. That’s what the UK Greens under Zack Polanski have understood. Working-class communities are diverse. They always were. But they share the same material reality: rents going up, wages going nowhere, streets hollowed out, and a political class that stopped listening decades ago. The UK Greens are speaking to that shared experience, in English, Urdu and Bangla, and putting leaders who come from it at the front of the room. Now contrast that with the Australian Greens. The Australian Greens remain culturally anchored to the inner city. Fitzroy. Newtown. University-educated, professionally progressive, and genuinely well-meaning but culturally legible only to a narrow demographic slice. When they go to the outer suburbs, the places actually doing it hardest, they have historically struggled. The difference isn’t ideology. Both parties want economic justice. The difference is who is seen to speak for working people and where those people feel the party actually comes from. Mothin Ali spent decades in one of England’s toughest communities before he ever stood for office. That matters more than some appreciate. youtu.be/VPsR1hfTaAA?si…

@magataotao Australia has never seen a Government as racist & divisive as this Labor government. Attempted racial apartheid through ‘the Voice’, massive funding to race based groups to enhance division, promoting all foreign celebrations whilst undermining Australia Day and our flag.

Labor / Green has always been criticising Pauline Hanson being racist; but the truth is that Labor / Green has been dividing Australia by all means and by giving different communities with special privileges; whilst Pauline Hanson One Nation has been promoting unity and equality of all Australians since 1996.

@SwizzleSister It’s not capitalism. It’s a unique Australian method for keeping the middle class under the boot. People with a mortgage in the US were able to fix their interest rate for 30 years at 2.7%.

@HenryAust1 @cjoye Well, that's capitalism for you.

Irrespective of the final landing point, we could be staring down the barrel of at least 100-150 basis points of rate increases this cycle unless there is a relatively rapid resolution of the Middle East conflict. That will be devastating for borrowers and interest rate-sensitive sectors, including, obviously, real estate. It will drive a substantial increase in defaults and insolvencies across the board. Indeed, a global tightening cycle is likely to transpire over the next 12-24 months. Last year this column criticised markets for pricing in a zero per cent possibility of rate increases in the US over the next three years. Traders now think that there is a 65 per cent chance the Fed lifts rates in 2026. afr.com/markets/equity…

@ev_australia Impossible for renters, impossible for most apartment owners, impossible for people with no off street parking, impossible in many older homes, expensive to install for anyone else. Only a small group of people can charge effectively at home.

Charging an EV is not like refuelling. You don’t “go somewhere” to charge. You plug in at home. Game changer once you understand this. ....but some.. still won't.
