Today we’re calling for Canberra to cut the fuel excise.
And it can’t be the only lever they pull.
But it’s a solid first step to protect Australians from these significant fuel price increases.
What cabinet position should Barnaby Joyce hold in a Pauline Hanson prime min............Sorry I couldn't finish that tweet because I was laughing uncontrollably.
#BREAKING 🚨 US president Donald Trump says military strikes against Iran will be postponed for five days "subject to the success of ongoing meetings and discussions"
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has issued a stern warning to Premier Peter Malinauskas after her party saw strong support across South Australia, with voters rewarding the party’s push to hold the major parties to account.

@LtalbotAus@Peter_Fitz She seems to go forward in the air a lot.
On aircraft owned by Gina.
No that does not mean the taxpayers do not pay for it.
It means the taxpayers will pay for it at some time in the future.
My South Australian friends, serious question: WHen the smoke clears from your election tomorrow, how many seats will the Libs hold?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@_Tumbawumba@SkyNewsAust You actually trust Trump to be a reliable person who we can trust to have our backs.
I hear the Sydney harbour bridge is for sale.
@SkyNewsAust She's right, we should be helping the US and our allies in Iran.
Who will have our backs if the U.S. doesn't?
With Albo and Labor running the asylum, it feels as though we've already ceded our sovereignty.
Pauline Hanson calls for Australia to help Donald Trump “stamp out evil” by entering the conflict with Iran, just days after the President accused America's allies of refusing to provide assistance.

Aussies are expected to feel some relief at the bowser from today, with the Federal Government approving the release of 762 million litres of petrol and diesel from Australia's fuel reserves. #fuel#oil#petrol#diesel#australia
Planet America tonight - our guest Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery says he expects Australia will be asked to contribute to a naval force to open the Strait of Hormuz to shipping. He also says the US is still weeks away from completing their military mission.

Former Queensland premier Campbell Newman has accused Treasurer Jim Chalmers of pocketing a “windfall gain” from high fuel prices, arguing the federal government should temporarily cut fuel excise to ease pressure on motorists.

Barnaby Joyce offers to control a meeting about fuel supplies🙄
Jim Chalmers reminds him that he's not in government, and that as usual his rage-farming has made the situation worse.
Barnaby made more sense when he was drunk & passed out on the pavement.

This afternoon David Littleproud advised he would stand down as leader of the Nationals. I respect the decision he has made and thank him for his leadership since 2022 and his strong commitment to regional and rural Australians.
David has always been a committed coalitionist who understands the importance of the partnership between the Liberals and Nationals. I know he’ll continue to serve the people of Maranoa with the same dedication.
All the best to David, Amelia and their family, and I look forward to sharing another beer with him soon. 🍻
“I’m buggered” - David Littleproud announces he’s quitting as National Party leader, though he won’t quit parliament and force a by-election. “I don’t have the energy…it’s time to feel normal again.”
Australia is the only country that's stood by America's side in every major conflict since the Great War. Korea, Vietnam, both Gulf wars, Afghanistan, the fight against Islamic State.
And now, as America and Israel strike to destroy Iran's nuclear ambitions, Australia is doing nothing. We weren't asked. We weren't consulted. We weren't even advised. Albanese eventually conceded that Australia supports preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. But he won't lift a finger to bring it about. Everything is about political management, nothing is about national security.
