@spenderallegra so unleaded is around $0.60/l dearer today. A tiny car with say 30l tank, fill from empty an extra $18. And you say the cost of a burger ruined someone’s weekend? I call that BS in spades. You are so gone on renewables that you have lost what critical thinking you ever had.

Remember when the Liberals told us EVs were going to “ruin the weekend”? A friend of mine just posted on a chat that filling up 💸 💸 her tiny petrol car last night ruined her weekend 🥺

@TMFScottP shows how stupid Albo is, Howard did it because it poured oil on troubled waters, not because it would make much difference, done now move on. Seeemple

Well, that didn't take long. Yes, halving fuel excise would be dumb. It'd increase demand for fuel *and* the savings would be spent somewhere else in the economy, increasing inflation *there* instead. Populist policies are not helpful.

@AshPolitik Productivity is the answer to higher wages, back to 40hr week, end rostered days off, womens hygene leave, carers leave, maternity leave etc. all these things increase costs to employers and the costs must be passed on giving inflation. Be more productive and earn more, seeemple

Hanson won't support battlers getting higher wages. Her mate Gina has paid her to bring about her dream of workers earning 2 dollars a day.

@ev_australia I buy a new car every 10 years, current one is just turning 3. Buy smart not emotionally. Act in haste regret at leisure.

Thinking of getting an EV in Australia? What’s your biggest hesitation right now? Curious to hear 👇

@TheAusInstitute @zalisteggall Your beating a dead horse, Albo said NO

Australia Institute analysis shows that if the Albanese government had introduced a 25% gas export tax back in 2022, it would have raised more than $63 billion! "During the post-Covid year, gas companies made up to $40 billion in profit from that crisis." @zalisteggall #auspol

@AlboMP Albo Doing his bit for inflation, I suppose productivity is a dirty word in your world

NEWS: We're supporting a real pay rise for around 3 million workers.

@james00000001 Whilst the Libs sold the strategic reserve in 2022, for a national benefit. Albo has not replenished it in 4 years. So who is really to blame for the current predicament?

Dan Tehan thinks that everything is so simple, and the government hasn't thought of any ideas to make the fuel flow. Labor is flat chat sorting this out, working with the limited resources left by the 9 years of dreadful coalition government. #afternoonbriefing

@BaldingPhillip you’re assuming a few things, is the charger working (properly)?Is the charger occupied? are you next in line? Time is money, drivers have time limits. You don’t know shit

@ydb8 Read the article and tell me you wouldn’t stop an extra half hour to save hundreds of dollars on fuel

This trucks lfp battery costs probably $60k and saves $1200 a day Will charge 2000-3000 times Unbelievably dumb to still have brand new diesel trucks on the market

@JordanEVGuy You are right my business would suffer badly if we changed to EVs, so in that sense we can’t afford to go EV.

@ydb8 Stupid people comment on EV content when they can’t afford one.

“Should you get an EV right now?” Not in 2030. Not “when the tech improves.” Not when your mate Dave stops moaning about batteries. Right now. Because here’s the truth most people won’t tell you… 👉 Most people switch that to electric and never go back. 👉 Others try it…and realise it doesn’t actually fit their life. 👉 And most people are stuck in the middle, confused by headlines, myths, and outdated advice. So I’ve put together something simple: A straight-talking guide to help you decide if an EV is right for YOU. No sales pitch. No nonsense. No “EVs are perfect”. Just real-world scenarios, costs, charging, and whether it actually works for your lifestyle. If you’ve ever thought: “would an EV actually work for me?” This is for you. 🎯 First 10 people get access FREE. Get FREE access here: skool.com/electric-cars-…

@TMFScottP If a Liberal government had done this you and your lot would be wailing about subsidies to capitalists ad nauseum. Don’t you like being fed your own medicine?

Can you imagine this lot (and the last lot), in decades past? We'd still have a blacksmith industry, a cooperage industry, a buggy-whip industry, a stump-jump plough subsidy, we'd still be making clothes and cars and Rank Arena televisions. ...and low living standards to match!

@ev_australia @JEChalmers @SkyNewsAust @FinancialReview How do you explain payroll tax or even companies profit tax. Don’t we want more employment and larger superannuation balances?

We’re not against an EV road tax. But right now? • Adoption is still low • Incentives are being removed • Cost of living is rising • Fuel prices are going insane You don’t tax behaviour you’re trying to encourage. @JEChalmers @SkyNewsAust @FinancialReview

@TeslaFamilyYT So, anyone who doesn’t applaud your actions is a hater? maybe they have valid reasons for not following your example. Grow up, you’ve made your bed of roses now lie down and shut the F up

Plugging in at home every night and waking up to a full “tank” for a couple of pounds is the thing no EV hater ever wants to admit actually sounds class.

@Bulldogs5711 @GreenTyler27 Very clever, now where is the crude oil a refinery needs? You just proved you don’t know shit.

@ydb8 @GreenTyler27 Albo didnt help to shut down 4 refineries like Poorlene & LNP did. We shouldn’t have to demand fuel.

Once you include transmission, backup, storage and reliability costs, the “cheap” narrative falls apart pretty quickly.

@mattmua72 Didn’t one of your mob flood the hold of a local bulk cement carrier with water over some pretty union complaint. And you now complain about being sidelined? You found out the hard way that companies make the decisions.

worked on Australian crewed tanker with BP until they sacked us & engaged foreign crewed ships to do exactly the same shipping tasks around our coast. BP said they could save what equated to 0.1c/L @ the pump employing foreign crews This was supported by the LNP govt.

@sydney_ev Hmmm, seems their truck went from Melb to Syd in 2024, nearly 2 years ago! Yet it wasn’t instantly taken on by truckies. Me thinks we are being misled as to the suitability of EV trucks

a Windrose #EV Truck, just competed a loaded B Double run from Sydney to Canberra non stop, no need to charge, 100% electric. total cost $50 approx. Diesel would have cost near $500 or more. We have solutions to our fuel crisis.. #auspol #trucking brisbanetimes.com.au/environment/cl…

@Qldaah We’ll see, watch this space

Rio Tinto commits underwriting $7.5b of new wind, solar & battery storage in Gladstone to contract for its Boyne aluminium smelter. Federal & Qld governments will contribute $1b each. Matt Canavan previously declared only coal could keep it alive. #qldpol reneweconomy.com.au/a-slam-dunk-ri…

@KrauterStefan I suppose you’ve never heard of green tape. Green tape is inflating the cost of everything and the benefits are non existent

Fun Fact: While Photovoltaics got 200 times cheaper from 1990 until 2025 (from 2O USD/Wp to 0.1 USD/Wp), nuclear power got 3 to 8 times more expensive.

@AofahKoff You are such a selfish person. Only the rich can afford subsized solar systems that can operate off grid. The poor, like pensioners are left to pay full price including the extra to cover the cost of renewables. Why not shut the F up and stop embarrassing yourself

When, in our history prior to the instigation of renewables transition, did we have an opportunity to determine how much we each pay for electricity or if we pay at all. Solar panels and batteries have given us that opportunity. What is the down side?
