When you're drowning in blue-green algae but your top priority is repealing Net Zero.#abc730 #auspol

Fucking joke - incompetent lazy bastards😡

what would you throw to him ??

@FootscraysFine1 Ein deutscher Pornostar!

For a moment I thought it was a German porn billboard circa 1983. Scat is not my thing.

I’ve been in a gas tax Senate Inquiry this week, and it’s clear activists are trying to use tax to end fossil fuel projects. We’ve heard selective data and misleading narratives to downplay the contribution resources make to our economy. #SkyNewsAustralia

Clinton Maynard is not happy about what he spotted at Anthony Albanese's press conference in Brunei. More: nine.social/17eT

Growing up on the edge of the Snowy Mountains in the 70s: footy in the dust, riding horses on the farm, and four boys keeping each other honest. It was a simpler time, but a way of life worth protecting. Every Australian kid deserves the chance to grow up with a bit of that same freedom and possibility.

@AnneWebsterMP 400 million tons of coal ash stored in Australia. A more pressing waste issue perhaps?

Massive subsidies for renewables—many foreign-owned—but no plan for the end. No clean-up. No decommissioning. No protection for farmers. Solar projects near Broken Hill will soon be pulled apart… panels headed to landfill? If companies walk away, landholders pay.

Australia’s biggest “super battery” project — the $1 billion Waratah Super Battery in NSW — has suffered a catastrophic failure, putting the state’s renewable energy transition in disarray. One of the three massive transformers has failed, while a second has been taken offline for testing and might also need replacing. The battery, built by BlackRock’s Akaysha Energy, was supposed to be fully operational by the end of this year — but now experts say that’s been pushed back by at least a year. Energy researcher Aidan Morrison says the battery was a key part of keeping the grid stable as coal power stations like Eraring are retired — but the timeline is now “in disarray”. The NSW Government has already had to extend Eraring’s life to 2027 to avoid blackouts. Energy analyst Tony Wood says the failure shows how difficult and expensive the renewables transition is turning out to be: “It’s not easy and it’s not cheap — but stopping the transition isn’t an option.” The Waratah battery was meant to deliver 850 MW of power — enough for nearly a million homes — and smooth out renewable energy supply across Sydney, Wollongong, and Newcastle. Now, it won’t be fully online until 2026 at the earliest. Experts warn the failure highlights the fragility of Australia’s renewable rollout — and how far we still have to go before coal can truly be switched off.

Serious questions have been raised after a high-tech unmanned military drone was spotted flying in strange patterns in the lead up to the devastating refinery fire. Full story: bit.ly/4sFeuFU

@WhosFibbing perdamanchemicalsandfertilisers.com/project/ceres/ Begins production in Karratha mid 27'

Now he is in Brunei. This is what he has just posted. “ The fertiliser from Brunei helps grow the food we buy, and drive our economy. That's why I'm here, to help secure what our farmers need to keep Australia moving. While the war in the Middle East continues to impact supply in Australia, it is more important than ever that we work closely with our neighbours. “ Well, This person and his government and the government’s over the last 36+ years don’t seem to understand that we must manufacture our own critical commodities here in our own country. That is the only way to ensure our country can survive. In 1990 Australia made 90% of our own fertiliser. In 2000 that dropped to 50% made here. Now, we only make between 12% & 15% of it here. This country and its globalist agenda over the last 36yrs have sold us out completely.

@macsween_prue @AlboMP @AustralianLabor

Can anyone name any policy this @AlboMP @AustralianLabor govt hasn’t stuffed up? Whether it be immigration/deportation of crims, energy policy, NDIS, the 1st home buyer scheme that buys houses for non-citizens, years of deficits because of big spending, taxpayer $ to pay for childcare for millionaires … the list goes on. Inept morons running this country. We get what we vote for. Has anyone learnt a lesson that the election sales pitch by @AlboMP is just that. A cunning sales job that never delivers. And we don’t even get a set of steak knives

@mirandadevine “The people who start wars are not the people who fight them.”

Australia has fought and bled and died alongside the US in every war and one feckless Trump-deranged Labor government has damaged that relationship - hence Trump's callout today.

@SaiKate108 All hat, no cattle..

Aussies want real energy security not green tape. A pragmatic Barnaby Joyce calls on Labor to scrap the safeguard mechanism, reopen refineries and fix our fuel mess before Hormuz chaos hits harder. ‘Calling us all next time we’re in Parliament to go through stringently climate change legislation to do everything we possibly can to remove any impediments to get all security and oil refineries back up and running.’ This is exactly why One Nation is fast becoming the party of choice in Australia.

🚨 AUSTRALIA IS BEING ASKED TO ADAPT — BECAUSE ITS GOVERNMENT FAILED TO PREPARE The Albanese government is now telling Australians: The shocks are coming. The months ahead won’t be easy. Everyone must “do their bit.” But here’s the real question: Why are Australians being asked to carry the burden… For a crisis the government should have prepared for? This is not leadership. This is damage control. Cutting fuel excise for three months is not a solution. It is a temporary patch. Telling people: “Use public transport” “Don’t take more fuel than you need” “Think of others” Is not a strategy. It is an admission. An admission that: Australia is exposed Australia is vulnerable Australia is dependent Because after years of policy decisions: Energy security was not prioritised Domestic production was not strengthened Resilience was not built And now the consequences are arriving. Farmers need diesel. Truckers need fuel. Supply chains depend on both. You cannot run a country on good intentions and short-term measures. And yet that is exactly what is being offered: Temporary tax cuts Public messaging Hope that global supply holds Hope is not policy. At a time when global energy routes are under pressure… When supply chains are tightening… When costs are rising rapidly… Australians are being told to adjust their behaviour… Instead of seeing a government that has already secured their future. This is the difference between: Preparation And reaction And right now… Australia is reacting. The months ahead may not be easy. But they didn’t have to be this uncertain. Strong leadership anticipates crises. Weak leadership explains them after they arrive.

@oscopycol @mattjcan Sure. Current LNG pricing for your reference.

@krazykelpie @mattjcan Checked the wind speed where I am..still zero

We face a choice. Dump net zero or be dependent on other nations for our basic needss.

@Grayson476714 @mattjcan So, only the capital costs? Fuel cost is zero therefore whole of life cost is substantially less. CSIRO GenCost 2024 shows onshore wind at A$70–116/MWh vs gas peakers at A$207–342/MWh.

@krazykelpie @mattjcan Only foolish activists believe renewables are free.

The Victorians most adversely affected by high fuel prices don’t have access to public transport. Now their taxes will be subsidising tens of millions in free fares for those who do have the option of public transport. #springst

They’re making people who need cars pay for people who don’t need cars.

National security and fuel security go hand in hand! Barnaby Joyce with a simple solution to achieve this - ‘ get rid of the Climate Change Department’ Cut the green tape and open up new refineries. Now that’s a policy !!
