@AshPolitik @PaulineHansonOz Minimum wages and unions should be abolished.

Do you support the rise in minimum wage for 3 million Aussie workers, yes or no? @PaulineHansonOz

People in Africa work harder than almost anyone. They are not lazy. They carry water for miles and work in the sun all day.  But if the rules make it impossible to build a factory or buy a tractor, they will always stay poor.

China isn't turning into a “green superpower.” Any renewable energy systems they're installing only add to existing energy sources; they are not replacing fossil fuels at all. China is increasing their use of ALL energy.

“Gas Town” from Mad Max is a real place, deep in the remote outback, 700km from the nearest McDonald’s - and it’s one of the most important places in the country. Welcome to Moomba, South Australia. Built in the ‘60s after the discovery of the Cooper Basin, Moomba is a limited-access company town sitting atop one of Australia’s first major onshore gas basins. It soon had pipelines running to Adelaide and Sydney, underpinning much of the east coast’s industrial base through the late 20th century. These were state-led, nation-building projects, built with long investment horizons and justified on more than purely financial returns. In an era shaped by energy insecurity and the shocks of the 1970s, and with memories of World War II still vivid, resilience and domestic supply were national priorities. The Cooper Basin is now declining in volume, eclipsed by massive coastal export systems. But Moomba remains a critical supply hub and switching yard, balancing swings across the volatile east coast gas market. And it may be entering a new era. Those same pipelines, built to bring outback gas to the coast, could also bring coastal gas inland. With the right connections, Moomba becomes a continental junction: fed from multiple basins, deep in the interior, far from contested sea lanes and military threats, and close to existing rail corridors. That makes it a natural site for a gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant: turning domestic gas into diesel and jet fuel at scale. With Australia currently over 90% reliant on imported fuels, this is not optional - and certainly not in an era of increasing geopolitical risk. Would this be the cheapest way to fuel the country? Probably not. But you don’t build this because it’s cheap. You build it to avoid finding out what happens if you don’t.

Over the past 25 years, Germany has pursued an energy transition by phasing out nuclear power and expanding solar and wind—at a cost of around €500 billion in subsidies. The result: installed capacity has more than doubled, yet electricity generation has declined. The reason is structural. Reliable, dispatchable power was replaced by weather-dependent sources. The consequences are severe: rising energy costs, falling competitiveness, and growing pressure on energy-intensive industries. The key question remains: How do you run an industrial economy on a system that produces less when it matters most?

After the reckless EU Trade Agreement, which makes aspirational Paris Targets mandatory, and introduces trade sanctions for breach, Australia shows absolutely no sign of shifting to away from "rigid climate agendas" towards "energy pragmatism". We are the Trappist monk self-flagellating.

@MythicallyMad @PaulineHansonOz @Lochness4000 ie lets become communist...lol.

@PaulineHansonOz @Lochness4000 Cut Pauline Hanson's wages, make Gina pay more tax and then nationalise the mining industry, electrify the entire economy, institute Universal Basic Income, sponsor the Arts...

The coalition calling for a halving of the fuel excise is welcome news. We look forward to working with them to achieve One Nation's policy of a full removal of the excise with compensation for truckies and dealing with the GST on fuel. After 3 months, let's review how that's going but Australians need relief now. We also need to have an emergency declared under the Liquid Fuel Emergency Act 1984 so that we can force Big Oil to put supplies into the regions and stop the price gouging.

@PaulineHansonOz @Lochness4000 NDIS back to the states. Sack every public servant at the federal level involved. The states should run it in an integrated fashion along with health and mental health.

@Lochness4000 Abolish the climate change department, abolish aboriginal affairs and make it based on need, cut and cap the NDIS, tax gas properly, pay down debt to reduce interest expenses

I dont think Trumpster or Bibi were considering Pauline or even Australia when they bombed the mullahs. Our fuel crises is totally self inflicted by successive governments that forgot the lessons of WW2 but the prize leader for blame must be the net 0 bs by Bowen and Albo closely followed by teals and left wing liberals. A second prize must go to the union movement which has made the possibility of doing anything in this country in a cost competitive manner almost impossible. Play stupid marxist games and win stupid prizes.

If you support Trump, Hanson, and Farage. You support the fuel prices at the bowser. I don't make the rules.

How would you know you jealous communist. Rather than penalising people that have taken risks why don't we incentivise more of it in the massive amount of resources that just sit undeveloped. That's where real wealth for the country is created. In high paying jobs in industries where we have a competitive advantage, not bullship public sector welfare programs like the NDIS and an ever expanding bureacracy.

@RobWearne Rinehart takes a lot more out of Australia than she gives.

Is Pauline Hanson employed as a member of the Australian Senate to represent her electorate or is she employed to protect the interests of WA mining billionaire, Gina Rinehart?

Minimum wages just punish those whose productivity is worth less than the minimum wage by forcing them onto welfare and or preventing them from getting experience. It is economic and social stupidity. It reduces the incentive to employ and creates perverse incentives against improvements in productivity through training because such productivity improvements are only marginal, such as where we have lollipop people on union construction sites getting paid more than junior doctors. The whole notion that you can pay people more than their productive worth and massive feather bedding in the public sector is why nearly every industry in this country is now not viable, and why we are totally reliant on China for the iron ore and coal we dig out of the ground. Labor and the unions with their ignorant diatribes and anti business policies are chiefly responsible for our position and the killing of the productive sector in this country whilst the public sector continues to increase. Minimum wages are Marxist claptrap and hurt the most vulnerable.

Hanson won't support battlers getting higher wages. Her mate Gina has paid her to bring about her dream of workers earning 2 dollars a day.

Professor Ian Plimer says the only truly "renewable" thing about wind and solar is the taxpayer money that keeps supporting them. Nothing about these so-called renewables is green. 👇🏽😏

@JossSheldon Disagree. mises.org/mises-wire/ope…

The rich & powerful play a game of divide-and-rule - splitting us into nations, turning us against the so-called "foreigners", so we don't turn against them. Let's not fall for that old trick. Check out my book, "FREEDOM: The Case For Open Borders" here: amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CSX554Y4/

Australia has plenty of gas, but most of it is in the Northwest Shelf, isolated from the populated east coast. The West-East Pipeline would unify the national market, connecting cheap WA gas to the expensive eastern states. A 2017 feasibility study estimated construction would take two years and cost $5.8 billion, and reduce east coast gas prices by $3/GJ - a benefit of over $2 billion per year! That’s narrow peacetime benefits only, ignoring the project’s strategic value and national resilience. If coupled with a gas-to-liquids plant in South Australia, it would underpin true liquid fuel security for a nation increasingly aware of its dependence on maritime trade.

@Peter_Fitz If you believe that Marxism will fix what ails us.

Harsh, but fair.

@Kon__K We are potentially at war with them. My great grandfather on my mothers side was interned in WW2. If the bullets start flying and we have have a hostile population does it make sense to bring more of them in?

Starting today all #iranians are banned from entering Australia. Immoral and a catastrophic betrayal of the #Iranian people. *Only exceptions are spouse/defactos and children of Australians citizens or permanent residents.

BREAKING: We just received a legal letter from a West Sydney NDIS business accusing us of defamation and ANTI-MUSLIM HATE SPEECH. We're being threatened because we pointed out that their official NDIS business page advertises NDIS funded Quran classes alongside videos showing off luxury Mercedes sports cars. For overseas readers, the NDIS is a government funded program meant to support severely disabled Australians. Religious instruction is obviously not supposed to be covered by the NDIS. The program has been systematically defrauded in recent years to the tune of probably more than $10 billion. In our opinion this is just one small example of the scheme being systematically abused. The business appears to have hired some weird Lebanese lawyer named Tom Zreika to sign off on the legal threats. I checked out Tom's professional legal business page. He has multiple posts pledging support to the Iranian government and showing off his Lamborghini sports car. WHAT A FUCKING COUNTRY WE LIVE IN @PeteZogoulas

@ChristyDanFan No thats the Labor globalists that live in the citys

Pauline Hanson and One Nation ARE NOT for working class people. This is Pauline Hanson’s voting record on the things that her voters rely on. She voted No to all of it. Pay attention.

@QuentinDempster @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan Sell it off except for regional radio which is a public service and not a Marxist monologue.

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?
