@PaulineHansonOz Write as many essays as you like. 3 decades. Zero bills. Zero change. Zero success. Zero policies. Zero achievements. A leech on taxpayers money. A stain on the carpet of Parliament. A grifter. A jumping dog for influence. You'll never govern.

5 years ago, do you think I was right? The Senate on 22 June 2021. Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of Pauline Hanson's One Nation) (13:07): I rise to speak on the Fuel Security Bill 2021. When I came into the Senate in 2016 I raised the importance of fuel security for all Australians. This and previous governments have continually failed to meet the internationally mandated 90 days stockpile of fuel for the people of this nation. That means this government has put at risk the fuel security of our daily transport needs: our defence, our aviation industry, our mining and our commuter needs. Without this internationally mandated 90-day stockpile of fuel, Australia risks coming to a grinding halt. My concerns were echoed by Senator Jim Molan when he entered the parliament in December 2017. What has happened over the last five years? Nothing. If we go back to the year 2000, Australia had eight refineries that literally met the entire needs of our domestic refined fuel requirements. That is the same year Australia was manufacturing more than 320,000 new cars and over 23,000 commercial vehicles. Fast forward two decades, and Australia's self-sufficiency in the fuel space is going the same way as manufacturing. It's almost dead. Shamefully, in the space of four months, Australian oil refineries in Altona, owned by ExxonMobil, and Kwinana, owned by BP, announced they were closing half of this nation's remaining oil refineries. They suggested the facilities were no longer economically viable. How is that possible? When I looked at the consolidated income statements of each of these oil companies operating in Australia, I saw that each of them is pulling in tens of billions of dollars of revenue each year from Australians. They drill the oil and gas. They send the bulk of it overseas to Asian markets that have cheap labour. Then we're forced to buy it back from foreign markets, where the oil companies have extracted the bulk of the jobs and profits that should belong to Australians. Successive governments have squandered the opportunity to negotiate better deals for Australians off the back of these highly sought-after resources. And here we are today expected to pass legislation that will pay these same multinational oil companies $2.3 billion of taxpayers' money to continue refining activities until 2027 and, if we're lucky, until 2030. Well, I've got some bad news for this government: I'm not going to help pass a bill that takes us down the same path as the car industry, which received billions and billions of taxpayers' money only to close. I make no apologies for looking out for the best interests of Australian taxpayers. If we're going to pay $2.3 billion to secure Australia's fuel supply, the government should buy the Brisbane refinery in Lytton and let it become an asset owned by the Commonwealth. It would be a hell of a lot cheaper, and this government could then claim it has secured our refining capabilities well beyond 2030. John F Kennedy was famous for saying: 'Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.' The truth is this government fears proper negotiations, because multinational companies have walked all over Scott Morrison, just as they did with Malcolm Turnbull, Tony Abbott, Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd. I'll say it again: these overseas corporations come here, they drill and mine our resources, and then they pay little to no taxes. Paying oil refineries $2.3 billion to keep operating in this country is hardly in Australia's best interests. We don't get a single share in these facilities. Instead we hand over the cash and simply kiss it goodbye. Again I remind Labor and the Liberal and National parties what happened to Australia's car industry after they had been given tens of billions of dollars in subsidies. They took the cash and buggered off when it suited them. (1/3)

@ellymelly He would think you're an idiot, that's certain.

I wonder what sort of new tragedies Shakespeare would have written if he saw the state of his nation today.

@SimonSperling Lol Simon thinks this is a clever take.

@MaulingWallSt Define Australian socialism is without using Google, and point to a doctrine or ethos. Then, define any government policies which are 'socialist' and 'bad'. Go on.

If I haven't offended every socialist yet, be patient. I will get to them all eventually.

@squidlips_01 @r3tarddownunder @AlboMP Look at all you gronks, fighting over skin colour and archaic Middle Eastern religions. Nothing but kids in the playground. Crying. Yelling. Crying again.

@armitagesh @r3tarddownunder @AlboMP Lol, no PM has ever needed this much security...

This retard @AlboMP got chased out of a mosque by islamists, was booed at the Bondi Beach memorial and is constantly booed at other events he attends. Getting school kids to swarm him to look like he is loved is sad. Total loser.

@JimmyTimmy19685 @r3tarddownunder @AlboMP Mimicry? Lol. Pathetic. You're all perpetually afraid and angry.

@armitagesh @r3tarddownunder @AlboMP Wow this triggered you? What a wart you are.

@AnnoyingTerrier @r3tarddownunder @AlboMP You lot take the bait quicker than anything. Literally all you have is mentioning 'Werribee'. What makes it funnier is you whinge about looking after the working class, then shit on people who are just that. Lol. A collection of sheer dumb cunts. Stay scared.

@armitagesh @r3tarddownunder @AlboMP Comes from Werribee - speaks shit - how apropos. Must be dreadful realising you voted for a complete fucking numpty 😅

@r3tarddownunder @LyrebirdDream Today you're triggered by somebody owning an electric car. Your skin is paper thin. Hey incel admin, are you happy Trump started an illegal war and destabilized the fuel market? You must be. You haven't mentioned the cause. Standard for paedo apologists though.

Listen to this retard. Try telling this to the truckers & farmers @LyrebirdDream you absolute wanker.

@MaulingWallSt Lol. All you've done is split the conservative vote. Colour blind cookers, look at the red seats. Historic victory. Please keep fighting amongst yourselves.

BREAKING: One Nation wins 4 seats in SA elections plus 3 in the SA Upper House. #auspol #auspol26 #auspol2026

@TimboZoom @KatyKray73 You live in a fantasy world. Seek help.

@armitagesh @KatyKray73 Won’t get 9 next time round.

Rage is what I feel when I see him! I have come to the conclusion, from the beginning that Australia will rooted under this imbecile! 🤦🏻‍♀️🇦🇺😭

@TimboZoom @KatyKray73 94 seats loser 😘

@armitagesh @KatyKray73 😂😂😂😂. Albo is as useful as tits on bull. He’s useless. He was called a simple man by Musk. That’s fact.

@ellymelly Lol you're a nepo baby who has never had a real job. Nobody takes advice from people handed everything in their lives on a platter. Everything else you said is a confected reality.

Is it fair that Aussie kids spend a fortune on university degrees only for Anthony Albanese to import foreign workers with sub-par qualifications to replace them? In other words, our kids are conned into a lifetime of debt for jobs that were given away by the government - leaving them on min. wage with no assets, no home, and no future? Then they use that debt as leverage against them during the election to cling onto power. Labor BETRAYED young Australians.

@r3tarddownunder Replace "white" with "divorced" and it becomes 10 times more accurate.

My family is white. Most of my friends are white. I have more in common with white people. I want Australia to be predominantly white. Why can Chinese & Indians say this about their own countries without being labelled racist? Retarded.

@ellymelly Classic cooker. Whenever you're bored and out of content, just make it up! I'm disappointed this didn't happen outside or near your regular cafe. So many events occurring that perfectly suit your delusional narrative.

Half a dozen foreign builders in the apartment near me. Tried to have a chat to them about illegally smoking on the worksite. They cannot speak English. At all. Zero. If they can't speak English - how the hell are they passing our supposedly rigorous safety standards and building codes? Every other business has to jump through a million compliance hoops - and yet these workers, which have replaced young Australians - literally couldn't read the safety warnings on the box.

@TimboZoom @KatyKray73 Lol that did not happen. Hawke was a mentor to Albo and helped launch a book. You're referring to a shitty meme someone made up. This is why cookers are laughed out the door. No wonder you're all so politically irrelevant and crying into the void online.

@KatyKray73 Bob Hawke told everybody he was an idiot.

@2worldsPodcast Unqualified and out of your depth, as per usual. Who is running your operation? It's so subpar it's bordering on comedy.

@PaulineHansonOz This kind of 'policy' is precisely when you're not cut out for governing. Massive budgetary shortfall, followed by panic buying at deflated prices. You're monumentally stupid Poorline, but already knew that.

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.

@Destroyer345321 @r3tarddownunder Lol not even close. Strange world you're living in.

@armitagesh @r3tarddownunder Israel started it

Without trucks Australia stops.

@PaulineHansonOz So you have no plan. Lol. You wouldn't do any of the above, let alone achieve it. You can tell Gina spoon feeds Ashby, and they train Pauline with biscuits to read it. About as inspiring as a fart in the wind, old batty Poorline.

As more servos run empty and fuel rises past $3 a litre, One Nation is the only party with a clear plan to help Australians. Here's what the Government should be doing in this fuel crisis: Trigger the Liquid Fuel Emergency Act 1984 to force fuel supplies into the regions and stop the price gouging by Big Oil. Start precautionary rationing so priority supplies for hospitals, emergency services, defence and food production can be saved if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Cut the fuel excise by 100% for 3 months and/or remove GST on fuel which is a tax on a tax. This will give immediate relief to Australians. Finally, ditch net-zero so we can drill Australia's own oil, rebuild refineries and never get into this situation again. It's time for the government to step up and demonstrate they actually have a plan. If the government doesn't want panic then they need to lead. One Nation is happy to show them what to do.

@Destroyer345321 @r3tarddownunder Who started the war in Iran numb nuts? This page attracts the royal family of crayon eating pillocks.

@armitagesh @r3tarddownunder You're the one bringing up Trump
