I'm out of diesel. All the farmers are out of diesel. This is it. We're done for. Albanese and Bowen are directly to blame. This is serious. I promise you. All other countries have diesel, and it averages $1.80 per litre in most countries in the Asia Pacific. But not Australia. Albanese is up to no good. This is crippling.

@AofahKoff Fuel degrades unless properly stored and even then it will degrade over time to a point that it needs further refining to bring it up to spec. Still worth something degraded ut nowhere near what customers paid.

When everybody has stored away all the fuel they can and demand suddenly slows down to a trickle, is an over supply likely? And if so, will fuel prices plunge, even if the Middle East issue still exists.

@D_Preacher_1 Can't see the point. It was written by men for men as an explanation of things they could not understand and reintepreted by men with vested interests for other men to control people. The book itself relies on fantasy about a nonexistent person. And I went to Catholic schools.

@hot_rails Our gas use might taper off considerably in ten years, as we move away from fossil fuels. Meaning there would be fewer and fewer users. This would likely make each kilojoule less profitable and more expensive for consumers who also end up paying a larger share of cost recovery.

Australia has plenty of gas, but most of it is in the Northwest Shelf, isolated from the populated east coast. The West-East Pipeline would unify the national market, connecting cheap WA gas to the expensive eastern states. A 2017 feasibility study estimated construction would take two years and cost $5.8 billion, and reduce east coast gas prices by $3/GJ - a benefit of over $2 billion per year! That’s narrow peacetime benefits only, ignoring the project’s strategic value and national resilience. If coupled with a gas-to-liquids plant in South Australia, it would underpin true liquid fuel security for a nation increasingly aware of its dependence on maritime trade.

If the fuel crisis worsens and panic buying and hoarding has put you in a secure position, when food runs out. However, your neighbour took only what they needed at the time to allow others to get a share. Now due to shortages, are starving. Do you share your food with them?

@hot_rails Gee, big spend for what is likely to become a stranded asset in ten years. Then you have the east coast piplines, particularly those from north to south and vice-versa, which are currently near capacity.

@dankatriley Economically, 3-5 years from lower gas prices across the east coast. But very little of that value realistically capturable by a pipeline owner (limited throughput, need for low margins). This is a government funded national infrastructure asset, not a PPP tollway.

Miscalculated the percentage ! ONLY 8%!!!!! Therefore 92% of petrol stations in Aus have fuel!!

@heidimur Victoria has 1700 petrol stations. A total of 6.5% are out of one grade of fuel. Let’s pull it into perspective. Stop driving a fucking scare campaign @heidimur it’s both misleading and pathetic

Albo doesn't care about taxpayers. He gets a free tank of fuel, driver, security, dinners, housing, etc. You think he cares about us?!

@BilsonhBilson Like I said, I am not defending the LNP for anything. The fact is, these were commercial decisions by the oil companies. Apart from government ownership, no amount of subsidies would have kept them operating. It is a bit like trying to keep old coal fired power stations open.

How much has the cost the country now? Why did they let it get to that state, it’s so frustrating to watch the LNP’s lack of vission they were too busy rorting the public with gov grants & contracts for family & cronies🤷‍♀️
Terry Riley@dankatriley

@BilsonhBilson @BConn39 Not an LNP supporter but to be fair, our refineries were old, small and uncompetitive. Keeping them running would have meant paying a fortune for fuel. Building a mega refinery like Singapore has, made no sense and was not even close to being commercially competitive.

@StuddertNatalie @brisbanecityqld Oh, so it is not a state-wide policy then? Very socially conscious thing for a Lib to do. Good to see, not just about dollars for a change. I couldn't see the current state mob doing that given its dollar driven agenda devoid of any social conscience.

@dankatriley @brisbanecityqld No Labor hasn’t been on the Brisbane city council for decades now! I think the Lord Mayor is left of the political spectrum and is extremely environmentally conscious. Probably why he’s been in so long! Never understood why he is a lib tbh.

I drove through the Brisbane city yesterday to pick up my daughter who was sick. There were practically no cars! I wondered if transport services were running more regularly since the uptake. I’m please to say a lot of our buses are now electric. @brisbanecityqld

@BilsonhBilson @BConn39 Also, 90% of the fuel we import from Asia is a finished product with no further refining necessary. Australia is too far away from crude supplies to supply finished product to anywhere but Australia to warrant a mega refinery. Shipping alone makes it uncompetitive.

Fed,Parl; the gall on Angus Taylor saying the LNP had no confidence IN Labor because of the fuel shortage! THE IS NO FUEL SHORTAGE! We have heaps of fuel! What we don’t have is the refineries so we can use it!😳 & who where the nutters that allowed refineries to shut THE LNP

So, Angus Taylor says halve fuel tax for 3 months, which will increase demand. Just going back to my point here: smh.com.au/politics/feder…

For the first time in years, I’ve been watching Sunrise on 7 waiting to see a family member on a segment. They’ve been interviewing drivers getting petrol and they are all blaming Albo,not Trump or petrol hoarders . Sunrise just loves it 😡
