Fuel security means drilling, refining and storing fuel - and we’re determined to lead the country and make it happen. Taroom Trough will be the first oil field developed in Australia for half a century.

Good morning from the Taroom Trough - the first oil field to be developed in Australia for half a century. National fuel security is about drilling, refining and storing fuel locally and we’re determined to lead the country and make it happen. We’re streamlining this project under the new Taroom Trough Development Plan - and today we’re calling on the Federal Government to do the same. We’re asking for it to be assessed under the National Interest Fast-Track Assessment Pathway to remove duplicated approvals and get fuel flowing to Australians quicker. This is a generational opportunity to ensure we’re not left at the end of a global supply chain.

@CaptainTaggs Did you have a direct line to the box Taggs? Which was utilised when the dees looked shaky.

Never in doubt. Go Dees. How good a win on big Max and Tom Mac’s 250th. Go on my son.

No you aren’t. You slaughter Iranians in the streets. Your (now former) Supreme Leader directly ordered the massacre of tens of thousands of the Iranian people. Your stooges are still shooting at civilians in their homes for daring to stand against your Nazi ideology. You are executing Iranian teenagers for protesting…this week. You are not fooling anyone.

@PaulMcG1992 What would have gotten Senna a drive in this race? He was a Larousse driver then? Would he have had a GP win by then?

The 1984 "Nürburgring Race of Champions" was a race held at the Grand Prix circuit to celebrate the opening of the venue. It featured nine of the fourteen champions still alive at the time and two future champions in Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. #F1

@andrewbogut Hi Andrew. Respect your voice during the pandemic. cattle farmer that is fifo into oil and gas for 20 ys Shortage won’t be long term and it’s not related to refining. Aust can’t sustain 4x100,000 bbl/d refineries. The tanks still hold supply. Refined Singapore. Happy to elab.

One of the most resource rich countries in the WORLD could potentially have a fuel shortage. Read that again. Lucky they have fuel reserves though right? Ah yep, sure do, stored overseas. Politicians continue to fail Australia.

@EZTYPE @BenFordhamLive You’re far right. She needs 300+ Kw to drive her mops and brooms around in a timely fashion.

@BenFordhamLive Yup pays for her amg merc

@KatyKray73 Do these guys have a twitter page. I read their Facebook (bought and paid for) page was taken down.

@TRobinsonNewEra Great insight Tommy. Where do 3rd world immigrants get the money to outbid local Texans?

Texas white flight. As the demographics of America shifts massively through mass Islamic immigration. Texas has been hit hard, parts of it unrecognisable as the United States, unsafe, undesirable, and natives are fleeing, leaving behind generations of memories. We take a look around the Lone Star state to see for ourselves the change and listen to @abberz09 story of why she fled.

From flattened echidnas to koalas ‘finished off with a hard, sharp blow to the skull’, the inexorable rollout of colossal green energy projects in Queensland hides a dirty secret few are talking about. Read more: bit.ly/46A6uxP

@ValtteriBottas @southaustralia @Australia Are you an expert on Ute ‘circle work’ yet? There are numerous titles of this, which if you play your cards right in F1…

The Prime Minister says that we have to lower the temperature of our public discourse. True. So let’s stop adding to the tensions; in particular, by scaling immigration way down, at least until infrastructure and social cohesion can catch up. That means weaning language schools and universities off overseas students as their business model. It means weaning business off importing foreign workers rather than training and paying locals. It means a welfare system without the something-for-nothing mindset; one that insists that all younger people, at least those without major disabilities, will work; preferably for a wage, but otherwise for their dole. But it doesn’t just mean much lower numbers, it also means a much greater stress on Australian values, with tougher citizenship test, background checks, security vetting, plus a longer probationary period before permanent residency becomes citizenship.

Please tell me if you see far right extremism a greater problem than Islamic extremism in Australia? Can or has the PM ever muttered the words Islamic extremism in any context even after the Bondi massacre. A coward protecting his voter block.

Australia is drowning in unskilled migration. In 2023–24, Australia issued 190,000 permanent visas. The number of core construction trades included: Bricklayers: 109 Stonemasons: 18 Carpenters & Joiners: 521 Painters: 383 Plasterers: 45 Plumbers: 56 Electricians: 174 Gas fitters: Less than 5 That’s just 1,428 or 0.75% of migrants in a trade that builds something. These figures are supposed to support housing supply for the remaining 185,000 new residents during a housing crisis. Meanwhile, visas were issued to: 4,570 accountants 4,243 software engineers 3,957 chefs These aren’t the trades that fix a housing crisis. The Albanese Government’s narrative doesn’t stack up… and Australians are worse off. Great work to former construction worker WA One Nation Senator Tyron Whitten for unearthing these figures.

I am very bemused by people who have seemingly only just discovered the Victorian Government / CFMEU corruption scandal. It has been obvious for a very long time what has been going on. It is no coincidence that (almost?) EVERY major Victorian Government project, since Daniel Andrews became Premier, was of a type that heavily involved the CFMEU. - Level Crossing Removal Project - Metro Tunnel Project - West Gate Tunnel Project - Suburban Rail Loop - North East Link - Regional Rail Revival - Melbourne Airport Rail - Freeway upgrades - Major roads projects - Rail improvements (network extensions, new stations, etc.) - Social and Affordable Housing - State Electricity Commission - Hospital redevelopments All of these route vast quantities of money from taxpayers, to government departments, to construction companies and unions, to the ALP (via donations, campaign contributions, and campaign workers and resources). The corruption has been obvious since the day the government's "Big Build" agenda was first announced. It was obvious, no matter the need, if the CFMEU was not involved then it was unlikely to get funded - if the CFMEU was involved then the funding floodgates were opened fully.

Think it’s time to storm the Capitol (Vic Parliament!) This sociopath needs to be removed from government!

@NMFCOfficial Phil played for you when you weren’t a woke, handout-dependant basket case. Because you now are- yes, he would be in your best two half back flankers.

Phil Krakouer, back on the half-forward flank 💙🤍

@TonyShaw22 @firstfusilier @AlboMP Tony, how do I apply for a ‘secondary membership’ with Collingwood? My ‘primary membership’ is with the crows.

@firstfusilier @AlboMP This is a joke. This will be lost within humanitarian jargon to save Albos arse. It’s cruel but each one of these so called nationals have lost their right to return to Australia.

According to Australian Government Minister Claire O’Neil, issuing the documention that allows ISIS brides and their spawn to get passports and clearance to travel to Australia isn’t ‘assistance’. That’s important as it means @AlboMP isn’t a dishonest toe rag and didn’t lie when he categorically stated just yesterday that the Australian Government weren’t assisting these people and that they had “made their beds”.

Jeff Kennett in today's HS (some excerpts): (I was unaware that Jacinta Allan's husband was in a senior position at the CFMEU. Did anyone else know?) "My government built the City Link project in the late 1990s, on time and on budget. "The major union involved then was the Australian Workers Union (AWU). "They were highly professional — and their members were well looked after by the contractor. "The union movement at the time had a protocol in place where the AWU would undertake all road and rail work. "The CFMEU would do all construction work, fundamentally above groundwork which humans occupied — offices, schools, hospitals, etc. "That union protocol served Victoria well under my Liberal government and the Labor governments of Bracks and Brumby. It delivered industrial peace. "In 2015, Jacinta Allan, as Transport Minister, broke the union agreement and allocated work on the Metro Tunnel to the CFMEU. "Then she allocated the work for the Rail Crossing Removals to the CFMEU. "Jacinta Allan’s husband was a senior officer at the CFMEU at the time. "Since then, all major infrastructure projects have been awarded to the CFMEU. "So today, the public should ask: where has the $15b in financial overruns gone? "Ask our teachers, who are threatening to strike and who could once be counted on for support by Labor, but who are today the worst paid in the country. "Or ask why our police men and women are leaving the force, many going to Queensland. "They, and other professional public servants, have been left behind as Labor prioritised the CFMEU and continued to allow the rorts to continue, which is money that should have been available to support our frontline public servants." heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/j…
