Queensland’s premier has his eyes on a “sea of domestic oil” just a few hundred kilometres from Brisbane to stop Australia being "vulnerable" to future petrol crises.

@sszinglehead Must have been Ted's turn today to front the ABC. He made a fool of himself on ABC radio this morning in Brisbane. I'm a Queenslander and i know the LNP has good support here but how they can vote for some of these clowns is beyond belief.
#LittleTed says high petrol prices are due to Labor walking away from fossil fuels
PK calls him out and says the war is to blame, asks if Trump is the cause
#TemuScomo says it's not for him to provide a running commentary. No credibility, no backbone #AfternoonBriefing
Bowen needs to resign. After mishandling Australia’s fuel security for four years, and deliberately failing to restock 90 days in onshore fuel - he has caused our worst ever fuel supply problem. Not Trump, Chris Bowen and Labor
So Bowen’s been hiding from the media. Everyone from the Health Minister to Housing Minister to the Education Minister has been forced to answer questions about the fuel crisis, while Bowen strutted around his office dishing out billions for solar panels
Now he’s got free stuff to give away Bowen’s suddenly everywhere again
Natalie Barr’s reaction says it all. It’s the same as people’s responses around the country
An Australian sheep farmer has claimed the Albanese government's cut to the fuel excise “doesn't make any difference” to the country’s primary producers amid widespread oil shortages.

@Qldaah The white shoe brigade of the LNP will knock this on the head straight away. I worked on the Boral West Burleigh site for 18 years Boral have had this land earmarked for a quarry for a long time. GCCC has allowed homes to infringe on this land, now it's all to hard for them.
Jarrod Bleijie will now decide within 30 business days on the 56ha Reedy Creek rock quarry on the Gold Coast. Boral executive general manager Paul Noakes previously complained of a "coordinated social media campaign" spreading misinformation. #qldpolabc.net.au/news/2026-03-3…
I’m going to the dentist today.
I’ve no choice as I’m 66 and my teeth give me hell.
As much as I hate going to the dentist…..
It’s much much better, than suffering Patricia Karvelas……
Premier David Chrisafulli, MP, finds his voice...
"Never again should we be in this position. I want to see a return to the time when this nation was prepared to drill and refine and store fuel. We must do that and we must begin that plan now."

@JNampijinpa Your mob will be the first to scream when inflation goes up, interest rates go up. With the drop in price consumption will increase leaving a bigger chance on products running out. All these is what the LNP want it's all political let's hope the public see right through you.
@Dazzaat They all screamed for a reduction in the fuel tax which now has a chance of lifting inflation which in turn will lift interest rates watch them all start carrying on about that then. The government can't win.
HA! I called it.
After insisting that they were DEFINITELY NEVER EVER EVER going to cut fuel excise - they just did.
This government has no control over the situation.
They've got a barn shovel in front of a bushfire.
@ellymelly Looks like the LNP in Victoria have hired the people from One Nation as their recruitment person after seeing the balls up in pre selection.
What. The actual. Fk. 🙃🙃🙃🙃
"The man who ousted Moira Deeming on Sunday has been forced to withdraw his candidacy, following revelations he provided a character reference for a now convicted child sex offender, throwing the Victorian Liberal party’s preselection process into turmoil, and possibly offering Ms Deeming a second chance.
Party administrators are locked in crisis talks as The Australian can reveal that Dinesh Gourisetty provided sworn evidence less than two years ago, attesting to the “good character” of Kashyap Patel who was a member of his Liberal faction and “good friend”.
Mr Gourisetty’s character reference for Mr Patel was tendered during the pedophile’s August 2024 County Court hearing on charges of grooming, sexually assaulting and transmitting indecent communication to a child under 16.
Patel was convicted the following month and sentenced to nine months imprisonment and a two year community correction order on the basis that he pleaded guilty at the first available opportunity to all three charges."
@BillMuehlenberg One thing you can be guaranteed is that Deeming is not One Nation material. If she joined and got elected, she would be their shortest elected politician on record.
There is no question that One Nation is now on a real roll, and someone like Moira would be a great addition to the ever-growing team, with the likes of Barnaby Joyce, Cory Bernardi and others.
