The nut jobs are out in force suggesting the govt reduce or eliminate to petrol excise for a period of time to reduce the retail price of petrol.
This would be one of the worst policy ideas doing the rounds.
It costs billions of dollars making it harder to get the budget to balance.
It stimulates demand adding to inflation at a time when inflation is too high.
It make the petrol shortage - to the extent there is one - even worse as people keep driving & don't look for alternatives.
It is a crap idea that should pick picked up carefully & dropped in the rubbish bin.

@Oscarthefarmer So you want to be totally dependent on China for EVs, wind turbines and solar panels? That’s your plan for Australia?

@RickFHarris @QuentinDempster @NadiaWa35758056 @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan I never share personal details on X. You have so it’s not inappropriate of me to ask that question. I have huge respect for tradies. They’re the backbone of Australia but I’ve found most (ex CFMEU diehards) believe in free enterprise and small government, not what we’ve got now.

@JCIV63 @QuentinDempster @NadiaWa35758056 @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan Not sure my life story has anything to do with what we were just talking about but ok that's easy, I too was once unemployed, it's a lived experience.
Your bio is lacking, what's your story JCIV?
English

There it is folks: Pauline Hanson wants to privatise the ABC via the paid subscription model (regional radio excepted). She’s confirmed this with Chris Kenny ‘Sky After Dark’. Does sidekick Barnaby agree? And what about @AngusTaylorMP and @mattjcan?

@Lochness4000 @Ben_Davison1 Not true but what is true is that the net zero agenda promoted aggressively by clueless Labor / Greens and the massive renewables roll out have driven electricity prices up by 75-100% and rendered ALL energy intensive industry in Australia uncompetitive including refining.
English

@JCIV63 @Ben_Davison1 Actually, the majority of the oil refineries were closed down when the LNP were at the helm.
English

I hadn’t seen any closed petrol stations, any “long lines” or any cars out of fuel on the side of the road
There’s a lot of hyperbole & hate being thrown around but the reality is that most of Australia’s oil DOESN’T come through Hormuz & we have solid supply agreements

Victoria’s latest shipment of crude oil - onboard this tanker that’s docked at Corio.
English

@NickMcKim Yeah that’s the big issue troubling Australians at present you clueless Marxist gimp.
English

@Lochness4000 @Ben_Davison1 The Labor govt is complicit in this crisis. Their anti fossil fuels / pro renewables agenda is directly responsible for the disappearance of refineries over the past 10 years and the cuts in domestic production of oil. Your mate Dan Andrews banned drilling for oil & gas outright.
English

@Ben_Davison1 Isn’t it funny, as soon as a crisis comes along, not of the current government’s doing, it a case of ‘AND ALONG COMES PAULINE’ ready to capitalise on the situation politically.
English

@Ben_Davison1 @A2Bourne You don’t score points when your source material is Wikipedia Ben.
English

@A2Bourne Oil was more expensive in the final months of the Morrison government than it is now
Being a panic merchant only encourages hoarding which will only drive up the price even more.

@AshPolitik You’re an unemployed Labor bot. What would you know about the state of supply/demand in petrochemicals?
English

@SimonBanksHB Sad that you need to describe yourself as ‘highly respected’.

“The Malaysian government has indicated to me they regard their role as a reliable supplier of liquid fuel to Australia, extremely importantly, and that they see Australia as a key ally and friend,” he said.

Parliament just got a whole lot cuter.
Thanks for bringing baby Joseph in for a quick cuddle before question time, @AliciaPayneMP.

@AlboMP @AliciaPayneMP Do something to save the economy that you have worked so hard to destroy you socialist gimp.
English

@RickFHarris @QuentinDempster @NadiaWa35758056 @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan Don’t know how a self employed tradie could lean to the left. Do you like working for the govt to take your money to redistribute it to non workers? If so, what level of taxation is too much in your opinion?
English

@JCIV63 @QuentinDempster @NadiaWa35758056 @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan If you see the FBI as a legitimate News source then you probably deserve Pauline 🤷
Especially since 🇺🇸 have no realistic Separation of Powers, leading to corruption of a President, perceived or otherwise, investigating himself with no wrongdoing.

@JacintaAllanMP Princess Jacinta, destroying Victoria with her insane socialism.

@Ahmadeidzreika @MaryKostakidis No issue with Hamas though and the 75% of Palestinians who support their genocidal ways?
English

@MaryKostakidis He’s not the only problem, he is backed by nearly 80% of his people.

I hope there will be a change of leadership in Israel - one that might break with the addiction to assassinations, subjugation, and drawing the world into war.
Peace, equality and freedom.
إسحاق حمومي | יצחק אל-חמומי 🇮🇱@A_Ham96
Israel has become the most hated country on X. Do you agree with me?!
English

@MaryKostakidis Never a word from Mary about the medieval genocidal leadership of Hamas, Hezbollah or their funder Iran. No it’s all the despicable Jews fault that Hamas invaded, murdered and raped thousands of Jews on October 7.

@michaelpurvis64 @QuentinDempster @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan @PaulineHansonOz @OneNationAus @ABCaustralia Let me guess Michael. You’re a public servant who’s never owned a small business and never worked in the private sector?

@RickFHarris @QuentinDempster @NadiaWa35758056 @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan Factual reporting like Sarah Ferguson’s FBI debunked Russian hoax 4 part series?
English

@QuentinDempster @NadiaWa35758056 @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan She's always hated the ABC, no secret there.
She weirdly displays more love for those who put her in jail, showing it's just another one of her ideological absurdities.
Maybe it's the factual reporting that interferes with her conjob.
English

@QuentinDempster @mdtlion @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan If it’s so trusted, why not do the subscription model?
English

@mdtlion @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan Slanderous derision. ABC now leads Australian online media in trusted audience engagement: emergency services; children’s; regional-rural localism; trusted news; informative podcasts; Asia-Pacific broadcasting. Remaining staff committed after punitive 29.5% defunding from 2014.
