The Policy Guy

@KosSamaras Kos Samaras - proudly cheering on the ALP whilst ON soldiers into government. First it will be federal upper house BoP, then DD, then majority senate if not house.

The fuel crisis isn’t going to save the Coalition. It might actually finish them. Not because Albanese is popular. But because the voters the Coalition desperately needs, outer-suburban, culturally conservative, economically stressed, some are still there. Just. And every week of performative grievance politics, and empty noise brings them one step closer to a door marked One Nation. These aren’t natural protesters. They don’t leave easily. They value loyalty. They’ve been quietly filing away disappointments for years and giving the Coalition the benefit of the doubt. But there’s a threshold. And the Coalition keeps walking toward it. I’ve written about why crises don’t automatically punish governments and why the real danger here isn’t for Albanese. It’s for a conservative movement that still hasn’t learned the most basic lesson: even right-leaning voters want adults in the room. Link in the thread.

@MarioNawfal Pounding an enemy into submission is a key tenet of military strategy. But @MarioNawfal ... You seem to think this is unusual or unwarranted?

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 For 4 decades Iran watched the West try to strangle its economy through sanctions on oil and banking. So it built steel. Cheap to produce, domestically sourced, $6.5 billion a year in exports that bypassed every restriction the West could impose. Mobarakeh. Esfahan. Khuzestan. 3 plants that became the financial spine of a country learning to survive in isolation. Last night all 3 were hit simultaneously by Israel. Whoever planned these strikes were targeting Iran's will to keep going.

Glad to provide some comments to this story. The overwhelming question in my mind, is what happened to the same subsidy deal announced by the QLD government two years ago?

Pauline you're right to look to cull significant portions of our regulatory environment. I have far more experience than most of these environments, and many Aussies would be shocked to see what little value they're getting from such entities. Some can be culled outright, immediately Others given a clear set of objectives to work to and dramatically scaled back At a minimum, 90% of regulators should take a 20% haircut, which they can save from inevitably failed CAPEX projects.

@Lochness4000 Abolish the climate change department, abolish aboriginal affairs and make it based on need, cut and cap the NDIS, tax gas properly, pay down debt to reduce interest expenses

The coalition calling for a halving of the fuel excise is welcome news. We look forward to working with them to achieve One Nation's policy of a full removal of the excise with compensation for truckies and dealing with the GST on fuel. After 3 months, let's review how that's going but Australians need relief now. We also need to have an emergency declared under the Liquid Fuel Emergency Act 1984 so that we can force Big Oil to put supplies into the regions and stop the price gouging.

@AlboMP If that's what you call help, I'd hate to see what you call hindrance

Our top priority is helping Australians with the cost of living.

Good morning Australia, The prime minister called you dark forces Labor MP Patrick Gorman called you rats and rejects They all call you racists and bigots The blame you for the fuel crisis They give immigrants houses, whilst Australians go homeless Vote one nation 🇦🇺

@PaulineHansonOz Sorry this one's off topic Pauline - but let's make sure we call out Albanese's constant efforts to hoodwink Australians. x.com/negativevortex…

@MRobertsQLD Thanks Malcolm. Yes, I'm aware of your tireless efforts in the Senate. Two things (among others) we should value in our Senators, are their efforts to: * Increase transparency * Demand accountability We see your pretty indefatigable efforts on both these fronts. Thank you.

@negativevortex_ Agreed That’s why we opposed it when it was first announced I mentioned it again in senate a couple of days ago

Although the Coalition-Labor Uniparty did not bomb Iran, they destroyed our energy independence They killed our fuel independence: • oil exploration • oil production • oil refining They push UN Net Zero They destroyed our energy security They made us dependent on others

With so much horseshit floating around X, it is a shame that intelligent discourse like this isn't in the frame more. Relates to independence of the role of GG and whether Sam Mostyn should feel - and be at liberty to pursue such ideologically bent pursuits

@Katherine_deves then the first thing to do is stop complaining & start acting. if you don't like politicians, you don't want even more of them correct? by that logic - the attached article outlines the problem, and the course of action. x.com/negativevortex…

Things are uncertain around the world, and we’re responding the Australian way - by looking after people.

horseshit. Sinclair is a charlatan, and this is well known. he will capitalise for profit before the product is mainstreamed. his pipedreams will fail, yet he runs off with mountains of cash. The man's been at it 25 years and not yet delivered anything - beyond helping the odd mouse

David Sinclair's lab is using AI to build a pill that reverses aging for $100. Right now, their gene therapy costs roughly $10 million to manufacture. It requires a direct injection into the target organ. That's not going to work for 8 billion people. So Sinclair's team made a breakthrough. They found that the three age-reversal genes aren't the only path to resetting cells. They discovered CHEMICALS that do the same thing. In mice, they can now give an animal a liquid — not genes, not injections, a drink — and rejuvenate tissues in 4 weeks. Sinclair says it's now normal for his students to casually report: "We just rejuvenated the ear. We just rejuvenated the skin. We just cured ALS (motorneuron disease) in these animals." He calls his lab "Willy Wonka's chocolate factory" because the discoveries blow him away every week. But he wants one molecule that does everything. So they used AI to screen 8 BILLION candidates. They're now down to three molecules that work. And they're using AI to try to combine all three into one. The gene therapy could cost over $100,000 per treatment. Sinclair's goal: "What if it could be $100 instead? That's what I'm working for. I want to democratize this technology so anyone even in Kenya can take these medicines." They should know within a year or two if the molecules work in mice. The gene therapy is the proof of concept. The pill is the endgame. — @davidasinclair

if the utterly chaotic, dysfunctional and suicidally empathic Europeans can bring a hard crackdown in immigration - then we now have a moral basis in Australia. All we need now is for Albanese's bigoted followers ("if they want to stop migration then we ought to expand it") I wonder if we will ever get to the point of holding political traitors to account? * Jacinda Ardern * Justin Trudeau * Anthony Albanese * Kier Starmer In better times, they'd be sent to gulag

What happened to lowering our power bills, Albo?

Well done Anthony. Gold star you. You ought to double them again..and then again. Make it a nice round squillion. Which as we all can see: 1.. hasn't stopped the price increases 2.. hasn't stopped the pumps running dry What exactly do you want us to think you've accomplished?

Our new laws to crack down on petrol price gouging have just passed Parliament. We're doubling penalties for companies doing the wrong thing. Because there's no excuse for increasing profits at the expense of Australians.
