@Robbie_Render @hipster_wookiee @craigkellyAFEE Nearly 2 dozen sas members risked perjury in a federal court because they just don’t like the guy? Occam’s razor cuts that up pretty easily.

@LachlanScott @hipster_wookiee @craigkellyAFEE I just put it out there as something to consider. People have many motivations and as I said, civil standard is much lower. They just might not like the guy.

Any decent Australian can only regard the arrest of a Victoria Cross recipient as a sad day for Australia on so many levels. Yet somehow it brings a smirk to the faces of the worst of humanity — the most pathetic, contemptible, grossly snivelling leftists in our society. The only upside is that it exposes the true, despicable nature of these vile hate-filled leftists for all to see. And every time they open their mouths, naively thinking how smart and witty they are - they only push more Australians into supporting One Nation.

@Robbie_Render @hipster_wookiee @craigkellyAFEE Do you think lawyers paid fellow servicemen to testify against him?

@hipster_wookiee @craigkellyAFEE There was a scandal in the UK where lawyers paid Iraqis and Afghans to lie about the actions of British soldiers. I would be a little more circumspect throwing accusations around if I were you. And before you say it, a civil trial has a very low standard of evidence.

@MurseDan @BOptimist1973 @Ruleslawyer01 Of all the right wing accounts here, Rob is the one I genuinely couldn’t tell is satire or not. Like, he’d bring up the same talking points as the rest but then say his online Romanian girlfriend is great, she just needs a new phone to video call.

@BOptimist1973 @Ruleslawyer01 Is it really? I genuinely thought it was a parody account given all the “I couldn’t please my wife so left me” stuff

@auntyneville665 @AusExplained Australians voted against a change to the constitution. The constitution wasn’t changed. A state government legislated a voice to parliament then won a state election. It sounds like south Australians are not too pressed about the legislation.

@LachlanScott @AusExplained I understand the difference, and the difference is irrelevant. Australians voted against a voice to parliament. The fact the state government implemented one anyway goes against the will of the people. But you keep ignoring that and continue to play dumb, it’s hilarious.

Can someone please tell me why the heck we had a Voice to Parliament vote (which cost us MILLIONS), for us to all vote NO, but then State Governments said nah stuff ya, we're gonna do it anyway??? Do we even live in a Democracy!!!!

@Ryandally08 What about Gina and all the donors she brought over from the liberals?

@Ryandally08 If we could get some consistency on this that would be great. Is it billionaire corporations? Is it socialism? Is it communist governments? Plus, I wonder how he feels about his boss being such good friends with billionaires.

@auntyneville665 @AusExplained Also, the irony of saying leftists pretend not to understand things when the basis of this conversation is someone not understanding the difference between a federal referendum and state legislation.

@auntyneville665 @AusExplained Completely at odds with the views of the public? It didn’t seem to affect their recent state election results.

@ellymelly Free market capitalism is going so well right now, isn’t it? That’s why even the loudest conservatives are calling for a nationalised oil industry. Or at least a government reserve, rejecting the liquid fuel security review’s recommendation of leaving fuel security to the market

The worst part about watching socialists tear the country apart is knowing none of them will do a damn thing to help rebuild it. They'll sit there. Demand a pension. And then ask for a handout after we've fixed their mess.

@auntyneville665 @AusExplained And the constitution didn’t change. Nothing to do with south Australian legislation. If south Australians didn’t want a voice legislated, they just had a state election.

@LachlanScott @AusExplained We overwhelmingly voted against the Voice to Parliament. Hope that helps.

@AtholMullen @craigkellyAFEE Even with regulations, drilling and processing oil shale, which is the overwhelming majority of what we have in Australia, is also prohibitively expensive and commercially unproven at scale. The market also made its decision on nuclear clear during the last election.

@LachlanScott @craigkellyAFEE Good. Let's end all market distorting subsidies. If they would "fail" in a free market, nobody should have any objection to removing unreasonable regulatory impediments to: * C2L, * drilling for & processing of oil and gas, & * nuclear mining, processing & power generation.

Coal Liquefaction: ADD IT TO THE LIST 14 years ago I argued that we should using the process of ‘coal liquefaction’ to turn Australia’s abundant supplies of low cost brown coal into diesel fuel. The Chinese and South Africans have coal liquefaction plants, and such a project in Australia would have been economically viable. But instead, both the Liberal and Labor parties wanted to subsidise wind & solar and penalise oil. So Labor’s carbon tax, and the Liberal‘s sneaky hidden carbon tax through the Orwellian named "safe guards mechanism" killed off any hope prospect of building coal liquefaction plants in Australia. If we had of built coal liquefaction plants instead of useless wind turbines, right now there‘d be no shortage of diesel for our farmers and industry, because we‘d be making it here in Australia. If we want energy security, we need to dump every cent of subsidy for wind and solar and start building coal liquefaction plants and using our own coal to turn into diesel.

@AtholMullen @craigkellyAFEE Considering plants in South Africa and China rely heavily on subsidies, it’s pretty easy to see which way the market will go.

@craigkellyAFEE Government should remove obstacles and let the market decide. It's better to use black steaming coal for C2L as it requires less processing (lower capital cost), requires less energy to process, & results in fewer unwanted by-products that have to further processed or dumped.

@TheGreenGoat79 @vcolaci @craigkellyAFEE What’s non-sensical? How much it costs? How water intense it is? How long it will take to build? How in South Africa and China it relies on subsidies to be viable? Don’t just say something is non-sensical without addressing any of the specifics.

@vcolaci @craigkellyAFEE Why do you hate Australian's? It's people sprouting this non-sensical pipe dream that has gotten us into this mess Doubling down on insanity will make things worse, not better

@craigkellyAFEE China and South Africa heavily subsidise their coal liquefaction plants to make them viable.

@_Tumbawumba @Matt_Camenzuli Did South Australia change the constitution? No? Then the referendum result is irrelevant.

@Matt_Camenzuli What part of NO do they not understand? This is socialism in action, absolutely deplorable!

This is nuts. Australia voted no to the Voice, and in South Australia people have been elected with no votes. What an antidemocratic, confusing mess.

@MarkoMatvikov @aaronsmith I simply do not accept your last point. Compare one nation’s immigration policy to sustainable Australia. sustainableaustralia.org.au/population

Yeah my interactions with Abul suggest he doesn’t actually want to understand people’s opposition to the current settings - mostly he just calls people racist and tries to gotcha to deflect from genuine problems. And I don’t have any issue with people criticising One Nation - I think many of their policies are half baked. But I also think it’s disingenuous to compare the resources available to the major parties to develop and model policy with those of minor parties and independents - and if their impact is limited to influencing the major parties to engage and act on issues, I’m okay with that (just like how the Greens push Labor on certain issues).

In other words: The majority of Australians want lower immigration; but Some are naive enough to think Labor and Liberals would deliver it.

@Sauronlordking Do you understand the costs and challenges associated with extracting and processed shale?

Australia has 42 years of oil reserves. We really have some retarded people in charge of Australia .

@craigkellyAFEE Craig as free market supporter I assume you fully support the results of the 2019 liquid fuel security review that said Australia’s fuel security is better left in the hands of the market? I also assume you condemn the ongoing subsidies to the 2 remaining Australian refineries?

Albanese: Australia’s most dangerously incompetent and clueless Prime Minister in history. Almost every single crisis crushing Australia right now is the direct result of this government’s arrogant, destructive INTERFERENCE in free markets. The deluded belief that nincompoops like Blackout Bowen are so wise and such geniuses that, they direct economic activity more efficiently that millions of free people. This fuel crisis wasn’t an accident — it is a direct result of Albanese’s deranged Net Zero cult. Their insane subsidies for solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and electric cars, their bans on drilling, and every cent of the “carbon tax” shoved down our throats via the Orwellian “safeguards mechanism” have interfered with working of the free market, caused distortions and have wrecked our energy security, trashed our economy, and left the nation weak, poor, and exposed. Government has one damn job: to protect the country. That includes maintaining at least 90 days of fuel reserves as basic national insurance policy. Albanese and his green zealots haven’t just failed at that job — they’ve actively sabotaged it. This isn’t mere stupidity. This is deliberate national self-harm by an ideologically possessed government that hates cheap, reliable energy and couldn’t care less about Australian families paying through the nose. And now, Albanese asserts even more interference and government subsidies is what is needed. Australia is in huge trouble. afr.com/politics/feder…

@ZodaSoda @ellymelly @thevaccstat That isn’t a policy that destroyed profitability.

Shame on those cowards who sold our sovereignty! In the 1990s Australia was close to entirely self-sufficient in refined fuels. Upwards of 95% of our fuel was processed here. We were independent. Powerful. And insulated from global conflict. If this war had happened then, we wouldn’t even blink. Government obsession over climate change policy is largely to blame for the situation Australia finds itself in, and both sides of government have utterly filthy hands.
