What exactly can a state government do to increase fuel supply or reduce cost. That’s right it’s your mate Albo that can do that. For less than what your mob gave the CFMEU in Victoria we could have two massive new refineries. Also Albo didn’t replace the strategic reserve we held in the US which was sold off I be June 2022 (ALP government). That fuel reserve would have been handy now.

I reckon Tom's hit the nail on the head here.

@Aussie_Dad5 @GregWoo36283273 The GST is raising about an extra $600 m per month on fuel at the moment. Just think of all the NDIS scams this can fund.

🚨BREAKING: a truck driver from S.A has uploaded his receipt for diesel -to fill his tanks on his truck- $3500.00. But that’s not the worst part- which is he paid $635 excise and a further $318 in GST for that fuel- total of $953 in tax - Truck drivers are past breaking point

@hammerofleft @D00sF1nd3r Is it possible to give negative fucks.

In my case - zero

@DarrenJClark2 @OneNationAus There was a swing to ON in all 47 seats.

@OneNationAus In 18 of the seats that Lab won there was a swing towards lab. That is more than half of the seats they won. That's pretty impressive.

Election results confirm that One Nation’s polling surge is genuine, with support now translating into seats and influence.

@Ashur90177439 @2worldsPodcast Most of ours comes from the Asian market. 60% of the crude comes from the Middle East. That’s why we are being impacted.

@2worldsPodcast We don’t import Australia’s oil from the Middle East that war should not affect us why the price gouging and rationing???

This week on the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Senator Bridget McKenzie — Federal Senator and Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development — for a direct conversation about where Australia is heading. We talk about the current fuel situation, rising costs, and what’s really driving pressure on everyday Australians and businesses across the country. We also dive into fuel security, government decision-making, and whether Australia is prepared for future challenges when it comes to energy and supply. Beyond that, we unpack the broader direction of the country — from infrastructure and regional Australia to the growing frustration many Australians feel towards political leadership and long-term planning. It’s an honest conversation about the economic and political realities shaping Australia right now — and what the future could look like from here. 🎥 Now live on YouTube & all major podcast platforms!

Unions, energy costs and increasing environmental restrictions is what killed our refineries. They were all also aging and needing upgrades that made it not financially viable for them to remain operating. Successively governments offered subsidies but the ones that closed all declined. Of note, all refineries in Singapore are classed as strategic assets and are therefore heavily subsidised.

@comical_engr We have 2 refineries, used to have more, 6 I think, but successive grubberments and unions have made it unprofitable and they closed down.

Given that we now have the skills and knowledge locally is it time for the Commonwealth to setup a National Oil Company to process our own crude oil and overseas oils as well, to provide security of supply?

@AshPolitik The leader of the party in SA said success would be gaining at least one upper house seat. Looks like 3. Also, the ALP had a lower primary vote while One Nation increased its vote by 18%.

One Nation crazies prior to SA election thought they'd take gov, they failed Win more seats than the Libs, they failed Failed to win majority support in most local communities across the state ON replaced the Lib vote South Australians voted Labor, in an increased majority

@vairulv @TheConservati19 My Troopy has a 180 lt tank

@TheConservati19 Is that for one cars tank though or stocking up around oh 300ish litres?

Fuck you Albo Fuck you Bowen Fuck you every ALP politician since 1979 Fuck you every Greens politician since 1979 Fuck you every moderate LNP politician since 1979 Fuck every person who voted for all of the above to industrialize this nation & not build its natural resources capital to make this country energy independent. This fucking fuel receipt is on all of you. Bloody ridiculous!

@markje4 @TheConservati19 Most of them turned down government assistance as they were not economically viable due to energy and wage (union ) costs.

@TheConservati19 Six of the eight oil refineries that were operating in Australia were closed by conservative governments.

Put your political side aside. This has been a complete fuck up by successive governments (both sides) that have perused short term political gain. Australia has so much sovereign wealth in coal, gas, oil, iron ore, gold, and so many other natural resources. The whole country could be the “Dubai” of the South Pacific. The sadist part is that us Aussies have voted these fuckwits in, over and over again.

@AmeliaBee7 Unoriginal, at least he didn’t copy a speech from a movie. abc.net.au/news/2012-01-2…

What an unoriginal, MAGA wannabe cliche One Nation are No ideas, no substance, no plan Just mindlessly copying the most disastrous political movement on the planet right now as their main selling point Bunch of pathetic losers

@SarsNQ @StevenJMiles I’m happy with dipshit, enjoy your evening.

@RobFNQ @StevenJMiles Well you fit the bill.

Fuel prices are out of control. How expensive is fuel near you? Let me know below.

@blakandblack @OneNationAus Is this ok 🤔

Hey @OneNationAus supporters only a fool or a totally brainwashed idiot would think that this is patriotism…

@GrumpyOleDave @the_lookoutpost @craigkellyAFEE @OneNationAus No it doesn’t, but they are definitely the balance of power. Enjoy that 😜

@the_lookoutpost @craigkellyAFEE @OneNationAus LOL 4 upper house seats out of 22 does not make them the opposition

In SA, One Nation have so far won 3 Upper Seats and 1 in the Lower House, but they are also leading in 3 other lower house seats. If the numbers hold, they’ll have seven members of Parliament in South Australia.

@MickamiousG In NQ, get after it between the rain.

7pm mowing the lawn, acceptable or no go ?

To be fair, this has been happening for years. Both major parties ridiculous pursuit of “net zero” so that Australia could save the world has meant nearly zero oil exploration, restrictions to gas and coal mining, closures of power plants etc etc. giving away our resources for nearly nothing didn’t help. all of this add to the cost of production and transportation. And now higher prices. Just remember, the population voted for this.

@Aliceh_1936 Everything has risen in price because of Trump's battle in Straights of Homous

$7.95 for flavored milk at Cokes. This is on sale😡😡😡

@SarsNQ @StevenJMiles Dipshit, yet another great aussie slur. Love it.

@RobFNQ @StevenJMiles They actually started to dipshit. What they just released onto the market is part of it. You don't know much do you.

Iran with a nuclear weapon is a serious threat. No matter what your thoughts about Isreal, Iran would 100% use one against Isreal. That would be an absolute catastrophe for the region. Iran has flouted international/UN pressure for years. Trump had just had enough. A weaken Iran is good for the world.

@RobFNQ @StevenJMiles Are you taking about America?

No, incorrect. The Australian government holds no fuel reserves to be released. They just let the 4 main fuel importers to hold less fuel as a reserve. How will that go when Singapore, HongKong and South Korea decide that their national interest is more important than our fuel needs. China has already stopped aviation fuel exports which is about 30% or our supple.

@moresunshine_1 @therealrukshan I think how to vote cards should not be allowed, on the internet, sure, but at the polling booths, I’m not a fan. But your idea is good too.

@RobFNQ @therealrukshan Some people think they have to vote that way or their vote is invalid..... Every how to vote card should clearly state that it's your decision to number the voting card how you want.

Greens Senator Hanson-Young just had a complete crashout in Federal Parliament after One Nation thumped them in South Australia. She accused One Nation of hating Australia. Rich coming from the Greens. 🤡 🌎
