This was the moment that convinced me it was a staged event... How else do you explain the flag being lowered perfectly into position, as if the entire scene had been frozen until the flag was in place for that ideal photograph?

@RiseAgainstEvil And you’re certain it was racially motivated ? Spreading fear and division in the community

Australia just got its first taste of South African-style farm terror. 65-year-old farmer Richard “Rick” Wills was shot, dragged behind a vehicle, and buried in a shallow grave on his own property in Ouyen, Victoria. Police are calling it a “vicious killing” and are investigating possible links to livestock theft, the exact pattern that has destroyed thousands of farming families in South Africa. The brutal reality of targeted rural attacks is no longer “just a South African problem.” It’s spreading to the West. Pray for Australia. The same evil is testing new ground. 🇦🇺 There is time to stop it. Now!

@mattjcan No one asked me. It’s no good having a refinery if you can’t source crude oil…,

70% of Australians want us to build more oil refineries. Do you trust Anthony Albanese and Chris Bowen to build one? They have been running a war on fossil fuels for years!

@GuntherEagleman Australia’s not happy with Trump and his basket of deplorables

🚨 TRUMP NOT HAPPY WITH AUSTRALIA Reporter: “On Australia, Mr. President, you asked for a 3.5% increase like 5% with NATO. Australia has only gone to 3%. Are you satisfied with that decision?” President Trump: “I’m not happy with Australia, because they were not there when we asked them to be there. So Australia was another one, they were not there when it had to do with Iran. I’m not happy.”

@daviddunn177 @JDVance - going viral: maybe you should become a catholic priest, you might draw a bigger crowd preaching theology. ? 😂

This was a Turning Points USA event with JD Vance. And the tickets were free.

@RennickGBR So what’s happening with the glut of closing coal fired power stations, and remediation of all the open cut mines ? I hear billions of litres of fresh water is required to fill them.

“Australia faces a glut of old solar panels polluting the environment by leaching toxic chemicals into landfill with no viable reuse or recycling solutions available, the government's own Department of Climate Change and Energy has warned. The looming environmental crisis has sparked alarm among local councils and regional communities, which have accused the Albanese government of putting money into the rollout of renewable energy but not the decommissioning end of the process. Australia, the world's largest per capita adopter of solar power thanks in large part to Labor government subsidies, now faces its “first significant wave of end-of-life rooftop solar systems" but can't process all the “hazardous" waste that would come from this, the department said. •••••••••••••••••• So much for clean and renewable energy. Compare solar panels to carbon dioxide which is renewed naturally by plant life for free. The fact that so many people are brainwashed by the renewable scam just goes to show how powerful propaganda is.

@LucasSa56947288 Passed out somewhere ?

Did something happen to Pete Hegseth? It appears that he’s not been seen for days!!!! What happened to him? 👀

@aaronsmith @JoJo97297063 They literally are the “Opposition” Party, opposing everything and offering no alternatives.

If complaining were a viable strategy, Jess would be the most effective person on earth. Jess never seems willing to say what she’d actually do instead. I assume nothing.

@PaulineHansonOz @AngusTaylorMP - it’s an existential threat playing out for you. If you want to be like One Nation, why don’t you join One Nation.

The Coalition's immigration policy doesn't go anywhere near far enough. Talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words. Liberal and Labor talk tough on immigration all the time, then fail to act. There's only one party that can be trusted to manage immigration, that's One Nation.

@AngusTaylorMP Trying to be like One Nation, fighting for your existence. You may as well become One Nation like Barnaby….

If you want to call Australia home, you should speak its national language. We will make learning English an obligation for permanent visa holders - not an option.

@PaulineHansonOz Cartoons are back, but I guess we won’t be seeing any policy announcements ….

The Pauline Hanson's One Nation cartoons are BACK for Season 4 on 24 April. After the huge success of 'A Super Progressive Movie' we're proud to announce the weekly cartoons will be back on your screens in less than 9 days. All of your favourite characters as well as some new ones are in for hilarious adventures. We can't wait to show you.

@MAGAVoice Like lemmings off a cliff…

JUST IN 🚨 SecWar Pete Hegseth reveals the US Air Force & Space Force have SURGED 5 MONTHS EARLY PAST their 2026 recruiting goals "Both Army and Marines soon to follow” Our troops feel respected again 🔥

South Australia wasn’t supposed to move this fast. Models assumed slow, steady, controlled change. Instead it’s already at ~74% renewables, hitting 100% around 74% of the time. Beyond targets. Beyond plans. When cost curves hit, the system doesn’t transition… it flips. That’s where the models start to break. They assumed renewables would gradually take share. Instead they’re already setting the behaviour of the grid. Price, flow, stability… all increasingly driven by wind and solar. That shift wasn’t meant to happen this early. And here’s the part most people still miss. Demand isn’t sitting back waiting for the grid to catch up. It’s starting to move toward it. What used to be a ~3.3 GW system is now planning for 6.5 GW and beyond, with long term thinking pushing toward ~25 GW. SA already has way more generation capacity than it needs most of the time, which is why you’re seeing 100%+ renewables periods, negative demand events, exports to other states, and a surge in new battery plants. That’s a classic sign of a system moving into energy surplus mode. That’s not normal growth. That’s a system being rebuilt for something bigger. Mining, green metals, data centres. Energy-intensive industries don’t wait around. They move to where energy is cheapest, most abundant, most reliable. At the same time, the old intermittency argument quietly collapsed. Not through debate, but through deployment. Storage scaled. Batteries moved from experiment to infrastructure. Multi-hour systems are becoming standard, not exception. Now the grid is doing things it wasn’t supposed to do this early. Negative demand. Excess generation. Exporting energy instead of scrambling for it. These aren’t edge cases anymore. They’re signals the system has already flipped. This is why calling it a transition doesn’t quite fit anymore. It implies something slow, linear, predictable. What this looks like is a phase change. The models assumed gradual adoption. Reality followed cost curves. China is winning on scale. No question. But South Australia is showing something just as important… what the end state actually looks like. A grid where energy becomes abundant at times, local by default, and detached from fuel markets. reneweconomy.com.au/100-pct-renewa…

@AngusTaylorMP You are such an amateur announcing half baked policy brain farts. You are overseeing the final days of a legitimate opposition party. Good riddance !

I believe Australia is worth fighting for. Our migration system should reflect our values, serve our national interest and strengthen our communities. That’s why we’re putting Australian values back at the heart of immigration policy.

@Pelinsq For every one EV fire, there are thousands of petrol car fires !!🔥

@anika_climate 1/ You might want to check your facts before spewing lies. Australia’s Safeguard Mechanism didn’t apply effective baselines until it was reformed in 2022 and became effective 1 July, 2023. The five refineries that closed all closed well before this happened..

@anika_climate @skinthent Anika, your research is shoddy at best, or intentionally misleading. Who is backing your propaganda ?

@skinthent Wow - they are really brainwashing you over there huh

🚨 Australia’s fuel crisis isn’t “just bad luck, or “due to the Iran conflict”, it’s the direct result of net zero climate policies. The media in Australia are quick to blame the Iran war for empty diesel pumps and soaring prices. But that’s only the spark. The real fire was lit years ago by climate policies that made domestic refining unviable. Australia once had 8 oil refineries. Thanks to the Paris Agreement, net zero targets, the Safeguard Mechanism (their carbon tax/credit system), and tightening emissions rules, most shut down. Now they have just 2 left — both needing subsidies to survive. Australia imports ~90% of its fuel and sits on only ~39 days of petrol, ~29-31 days of diesel, and ~30 days of jet fuel. A huge, car-and-truck-dependent country with fragile supply chains. The same mechanism is at work here in Britain. Our North Sea oil and gas producers face 78% effective taxation through the windfall/energy profits levy , explicitly designed to disincentivise carbon-intensive activity. Investment has collapsed, companies have left, and we’re more exposed than ever. We still need diesel for tractors, trucks, mining, and freight. Without it, food doesn’t get to shelves, supermarkets empty, and economies grind to a halt. This isn’t abstract “climate action”, it’s self-inflicted vulnerability in energy security and food security. Australia is the warning light flashing for the UK and Europe. The war made it urgent, but the weakness was baked in by net zero ideology that prioritises carbon credits and emissions targets over keeping the lights on and the wheels turning. The smart move? REPEAL the damaging targets. EXIT or renegotiate the Paris Agreement. Prioritise domestic energy production and realistic reserves. Put affordability and security first, before shortages become the new normal here too. Australia is living the future net zero is building for all of us. We should be paying attention, not just blaming foreign conflicts. What do you think? Is it time to put reality before ideology? #NetZeroReality #EnergySecurity #AustraliaWarning #UKFuelCrisis

@anika_climate 3/ Australia has also had declining oil production since the peak crude oil production in 2000 at nearly 600,000 barrels/day. It is now down to less than 70,000 barrels/day. So the refineries were also becoming increasingly dependent on imported crude oil, also contributing.

@anika_climate 2/ The refineries did not close because of the Safeguard Mechaniam or climate policies. They closed because the economics of running small, ageing refineries in Australia became uncompetitive compared with huge, modern refineries in Asia.
