@VoteLewko @AlboMP How 'bout throwing in a couple of nuclear reactors to secure our country's future electricity supply?

Breaking: Australian government to build 22 new oil refineries and lift the ban on nuclear energy immediately. Government also to halve taxes across the economy and reduce migrant intake. @AlboMP says: "It's time for Australia to become energy independent and economically strong. The best way to do this is via free markets, lowering taxes and taking proper advantage of our natural resources". For Immediate Release. Canberra, April 1 2026.

@stokdog The fat, dumb, lazy country.

Australia holds 30% of the world's uranium reserves. It is the Saudi Arabia of the Southern Hemisphere, yet it refuses to lift mining prohibitions in key regions, refuses to recognise U as a critical mineral, and refuses to lift the ban on nuclear energy. Mind-blowing stupidity

@QBCCIntegrity Still waiting a lifetime to get $200 and $500 notes. Our $100 note now has the real value of $32 from when it was first issued in 1984. It doesn't go very far.

Are you ready for this?

@AntonyGreenElec Gotta love preferential voting! We must protect it.

Preference distribution for Finniss. IND Lou Nicholson started in 4th, reached 3rd passing Labor on Lewis (IND) prefs, reached 2nd on Green prefs, 1st place on Labor prefs and victory confirmed on final exclusion of One Nation. Link to blog in first comment. #savotes

@benonwine Darth Vader

What’s the FIRST thing that comes to MIND when you see this?

@JEChalmers I wonder where the card suppliers will get their $1.6b from? Oh wait, higher prices.

BREAKING: Australians will no longer pay $1.6bn in card surcharges from October 1. People shouldn’t be punished for using a credit or debit card. That's why the Reserve Bank will today take steps to end credit and debit card surcharging from October 1. This change will make a meaningful difference with Australians no longer paying $1.6 bn a year in surcharges, and small businesses will save $910m.

@Commoncents21 You know that DEFT will just increase the total cost by more? Someone always pays. In this instances you still will but you just won't know how much!

I made a DEFT payment yesterday on behalf of someone using my credit card - the surcharge was $10. This is very welcome! 🙌👏

@janrosenow Nor "heat" for that matter. Another product.

@janrosenow Never knew "electricity" was a base power source, I always thought it was the product!

China's electrification bet is paying off. Electricity now accounts for 30% of its energy consumption - around 50% higher than the US or Europe. With 1/3 of global renewable energy capacity already installed, China is structurally more insulated from rising oil prices.

@lady_valor_07 Show me the money.

You’re offered $4 million to uninstall Facebook from your phone forever. Would you do it?

@JimThom90458694 @LonglivHumanity Be afraid, very afraid. Big brother is here.

@LonglivHumanity Bill Gates Wants a digital ID and cashless society to control you. If you speak up, then they can cut off your account.

The RBA takes away card charges. I bet when we go cashless, they will come back fourfold. So keep using cash. Use it or we we lose it. Cash is part of everyday life for many Australians, especially in regional areas and older communities. If it disappears, who gets left behind? Time to speak up. Cash is King. #australia #australian #CostOfLivi #DigitalPayments

@JimThom90458694 In not a conspiracy theorist but....... ..... financial institutions are suddenky enforcing 20 year old legislation and demanding proof of id for all accounts. MYOB is also demanding it for its "mandatory" supposed new billing platform which we don't need.

@GreenTyler27 dr Jim printing money? Always a bad sign.

Hang on* Australia’s money supply just jumped again. $3.37T → $3.40T in a week ≈ +$30 BILLION That’s not productivity, that is M3 currency expansion. More dollars chasing the same assets = higher prices. This is why housing feels impossible for millions in Australia.

@7NewsAustralia How do the cards get paid? From the retailer. How does the retailer get paid, by raising prices for all customers. So cash users will be paying to much.

Paying with a credit card or a debit card will be free of surcharges from October 1. Card surcharges will be banned to simplify the card payment framework and offer cost-of-living relief to Australians. The Payments System Board (PSB) found that “the surcharging framework, introduced more than two decades ago, is no longer achieving its intended purpose of steering consumers towards making more efficient payment choices,” the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) said on Tuesday. #surcharge #RBA #finance #economy #auspol

@JEChalmers Yes they should.

@AlboMP Only if you want to get rid of cash. And when you do, hey presto, back come the card fees and charges!

Say goodbye to card surcharges.

@JEChalmers So prices will increase to cover the cost while people using cash will also have to pay more. You really don't like cash so you.

Is #myob fried? @MYOB

@EVCurveFuturist How's the Sydney Melbourne run?

Diesel just got humiliated on its own turf by Chinese #EV Truck 🚚. Sydney → Canberra freight run Electric truck: 25 minutes faster + ~85% cheaper energy Not greener. Not nicer. Just better. Freight was supposed to be the last stand… #Bettrification thedriven.io/2026/03/30/fas…

@MarkoMatvikov Say what? Least productive and undeserving.

Can’t get the basics right - but the Vic Gov just fast-tracked 20% pay rises for council Mayors and Councillors.
