@Sadie_NC @Carmilla5 We spoke about being offended in class. I posted this in the class chat.
I was asked to remove it because someone was offended

@ausvstheagenda It’s funny because he criticised Morrison for not acting fast enough.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced the fuel excise and heavy vehicle road user charge will both be halved for the next 3 months.

Working together, we’re delivering more energy for Australia and making more things here.

@allenanalysis These negotiations for the jet were started under Biden.

Trump, eyeing a tractor:
“I assume it’s a gift to me. Can you imagine if I accepted that? A Democrat could accept — we’re not allowed to.”
Trump accepted a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar.
You can't make this up.

@AmandaLee93451 Unfortunately, like every Australian industry, high costs and wages push it overseas. We can not compete

Just imagine if Austrslia was still refining own fuel. The amount off $$$$ that could have been made. Instead we Aussies are suffering
Rob Smith@Ausbobsmit
Listen up, you lot. My name is Anthony Albanese. I’ve never worked a proper job in my entire life, and I never needed to. I pocket $11,980 every single week - taxpayer funded, of course - while you struggle with your little bills. Fuel nearly $4 a litre? Oh boo hoo. Power bills skyrocketing? Cry me a river. Empty shelves and skyrocketing grocery prices? Tough luck, champ. I’ve been Prime Minister for nearly four years and not a single one of your problems is my fault. Ever. It’s either the previous government, global factors, or you right-wing whingers making it up. So spare me your pathetic whingeing. I don’t pay for fuel. I never have. I never will. My driver takes care of that. Now stop bothering me with your problems and go back to whatever it is you people do. Regards, Anthony Albanese

@JacintaAllanMP Since there is no public transport available to me, and I travel over 80km per day for work, can I submit a reimbursement?
English
We’re making public transport free across Victoria from 31 March until the end of April to take pressure off the pump.
English
@rachelbaxendale I travel over 80km per day to and from work, no public transport available to me.
Could I submit a reimbursement?
English
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

@Tw_timerAlder @TheRealRolfster While you are correct, they are cheaper. But if you are not in the market to purchase one, it's cheaper to keep your ICE.
My situation, to purchase an EV under novated leasing, a similarly sized EV, I will break even in nearly 8 years
English
@TheRealRolfster They actually save you money Ray.
If you left your ideology to one side for a minute you would see lots of affordable smaller EVs and second hand EVs available.
If you don’t want one fine. Keep paying high petrol prices and wasting money.
English
Can anyone tell me why so many people on X complain about high energy prices but are quite happy to fill an ICE car with expensive petrol and insist they never ever buy an EV despite the EV being about 5x cheaper to fuel and run 🤷♂️
Should we take these people seriously?

@BethanyCherisse The problem is, Australian economics dictates that this would result in increased fuel prices. The refineries closed due to running and maintenance costs and international competition.
English
Australia produces up to 398,000 barrels of crude oil per day. If we stopped exporting our crude oil, had the 6 major refineries closed since 2012 re-opened, and combined that with the imports still being received - we wouldn't run out of fuel.
Why won't the government do this?
English
@HQuarterma44846 EVs have achieved price parity now with ICE vehicles. There are plenty of options cheaper than a Toyota Corolla. 😍
English
Trump’s reckless war in Iran means punters are paying up to $240 to fill an 80L tank with diesel at the moment.
But not me. Charging my EV’s 80KW battery is free when the sun’s shining and $8 when it’s not!👇🏽
English
@ev_australia my current fuel cost and KM travel, to purchase a similar size EV under novated leasing, its still cheaper to drive my ice for the next 7 years
English
Thinking of getting an EV in Australia?
What’s your biggest hesitation right now?
Curious to hear 👇

WELL DONE ANGUS. Who would’ve thought it takes 3 people to put petrol in a car? HA!😂😂🤣🤣🤣Ian
Angus Taylor MP@AngusTaylorMP
Australians are facing a fuel security crisis, a crisis Labor has failed to take leadership of. That’s why I’m calling on the government to halve the fuel excise tax which will put 26c per litre back in your pocket. We need affordable petrol, and we need it now.

@ChrisHeHim1 Breaking: MP caught posing for a photo op. Someone call the historians — this has literally never happened before. The shock. The outrage. Next up: politicians shaking hands and kissing babies. What an unprecedented scandal
English
How many tax payer funded Coalition MPs does it take to put fuel in a car also paid by the tax payer?
English
Oh wow, what a sight — MPs posing for a photo op. That's certainly never happened before in politics. Groundbreaking stuff. Next they'll invent the press conference and the awkward factory hard hat visit. Truly, we are witnessing original leadership here.

@Ben_Davison1 We get 90% of fuel from Asian, and they get 70% of their oil from the Middle East.
English
I hadn’t seen any closed petrol stations, any “long lines” or any cars out of fuel on the side of the road
There’s a lot of hyperbole & hate being thrown around but the reality is that most of Australia’s oil DOESN’T come through Hormuz & we have solid supply agreements
Heidi Murphy@heidimur
Victoria’s latest shipment of crude oil - onboard this tanker that’s docked at Corio.
English
I confess surprise. Mr Dutton did 17 such photo opportunities in the last election campaign. It does not feel like sophisticated political marketing.

PVO@vanOnselenP
This is such a ridiculous photo to pose for. One of them maybe, but does the Opposition Leader need two colleagues to keep an eye on him so he doesn’t accidentally put petrol in a diesel engine?

@Ispeek4me @JacintaAllanMP While wfh can benefit employer in down sizing office space, but the separation between home and work is blurred. The employers now holding risk for the employees home.
English
@Ispeek4me @JacintaAllanMP WFH changed the game. Claims increased, but employers can’t control the home. Managing risk now means clear policies, defined workspaces, self-assessments & evidence of work-related activity.
English
Three hours in the car every day. The cost of petrol hurting the weekly budget. Less time with family.
This is a story a Victorian parent told us through our work from home survey.
And it's why we're protecting your right to work from home two days a week in law from September 1.
