My message to petrol stations overcharging: the ACCC will take action.

@AlboMP Why did you sell 1.7 million barrels of crude oil from our U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve in June 2022

@AlboMP Hey @grok how much is the fuel excise aka the flat tax that the government puts on every litre of petrol right now?

You caused it, Its not just Iran. It's Russian oil also. Have you told the people of Australia that the crude oil you source from India actually comes from Russia. So after all that chest puffing UN embargo Russian crap. You still buy oil from them through India at a higher price. You're an idiot.

My messages to governments over taxing , oh that would be ALL of you thieving cunts don’t worry about the ACCC it’s the Australian people who will start to hold you useless thieving fucks accountable. We the Australian people hate you all, some of us are still silly enough to think some of you are less shit than others but the Australian political class are the enemy of the people and you @AlboMP and your shithead mates are treasonous fucks . Have a nice day

@AlboMP This in Middlemount, Qld

@AlboMP “My message to petrol stations overcharging: the ACCC will take action” What Anthony Albanese won’t tell you is that his Government raised the tax on fuel on February 1. As if we weren’t paying enough already.

@AlboMP It's about time! Consumers deserve fair pricing at the pump. Thank you for taking action on this!

@AlboMP Are you serious? You're the only one stealing money from us! 31% of fuel costs is your taxes and levies!

@AlboMP Us paupers need your help. We need a #WindfallTax or a #SuperProfitsTax. CBA -> $10.3Billion profit. Westpac -> $6.9Billion profit. NAB -> $7.1Billion profit. ANZ -> $5.9Billion profit. Macquarie -> $3.7Billion profit. BHP -> $13+Billion profit. Rio Tinto -> $10+Billion profit

@AlboMP Petrol rationing should be implemented ASAP. Bring back the odds and evens method, set limits on how much petrol people can buy, prioritise fuel for farmers who produce our food, before people start panic buying food, which won't take long FYI.

@AlboMP Tuff talk big fella, I bet the petrol suppliers have wet themselves in fear…..

You did this. You’re blaming petrol stations. They don’t set the system — your ideological policies do. Here’s how Albanese’s government helped drive fuel prices •Expansionary budgets that kept demand high during inflation •Migration surge increasing transport and fuel demand across the economy •Welfare boosts and tax changes lifting consumption •Industrial relations changes increasing wage costs across freight, logistics and transport •Infrastructure spending competing for labour, pushing up construction and diesel costs •Net zero and climate policy discouraging investment in oil, gas and coal •Domestic gas interventions increasing uncertainty and input energy costs •Anti-mining signals and project delays tightening future supply •No serious rebuild of refining capacity → Australia remains dependent on imported fuel •Safeguard Mechanism and emissions compliance increasing costs across energy and industry •High domestic energy prices flowing through refining, transport and distribution •Energy rebates masking inflation instead of fixing underlying costs Result: Higher demand + tighter supply + higher system costs → higher fuel prices → higher transport costs → higher cost of everything And now on top of that: You’re happy to complain about fuel prices and blame petrol stations while refusing to meaningfully back efforts in Iran to secure the global oil supply route through the Middle East. If the US steps in and stabilises supply, Australia benefits — because we import most of our fuel. So the question is simple: You don’t want to help secure the supply… but you’ll be more than happy to benefit form it and turn around for another photo op saying what great deal you made . I hope Trump turns around and tells you where to go. I hope he tells you to go negotiate for our oil and fuel with China. Then and maybe then, when your voters finally get flogged by the results of their votes.. they’ll get it. If Australia needs to hit rock bottom in order to wake up the scourge that is the leftist ideology and Socilaism.. then so be it. Petrol stations didn’t cause this Labor policy did, and now you want the benefits without carrying any of the risk. You did this.

@AlboMP Thank you Mr Prime Minister for always sticking up for the battlers and every Aussie knows this rampant inflation isn’t your governments fault.

@AlboMP Anthony. We’re moving beyond worrying about the price and we’ve moved to worrying about running out. Any plan beyond the next month or no?

@AlboMP This is starting to sound like what happened at the start of covid, buckle up!

@AlboMP Just get the oil tankers through the strait if Hormuz for a start!

@AlboMP What's your message to MP's overcharging, over taxing, overspending? **Crickets Sounding***

@AlboMP What consequences are you going to face for squandering our taxes on jets and helicopters to go to the football? As if you’re worried about price gouging. It’s just more gaslighting & weaponising a situation as an excuse to apply huge fines as a revenue raiser.

@AlboMP Mr PM, the bigger issue for Sustrakia is that inflation was never fully beaten before external energy risk came back…

@AlboMP WHEN?? Talks cheap ACT NOW

@AlboMP When is enough enough Australia?

**@AlboMP** Last time prices hit these highs, the LNP slashed fuel excise by 50% — from 44c to 22c a litre — for actual relief at the pump. Your mob just indexed it up again on Feb 1 (now ~52c/L), ruled out any cut, and instead deflects with empty ACCC threats while Aussies cop the spike. All talk, no action. Pathetic.

@AlboMP @grok what action can the ACCC take if they find petrol stations overcharging?

@AlboMP Thank God we’ve got Albo laser-focused on the real villain: the servo owner charging $2.10. Meanwhile Net Zero is saving the planet so beautifully we barely notice the blackouts anymore.

@AlboMP You're lying once again, Albanese. There is nothing the ACCC can do about the pricing. If there's no price fixing or collusion, the ACCC can't do SFA, so they can charge whatever they want.

@AlboMP Is this more gaslighting or just lies? It is hard to tell with this PM.

@AlboMP Once again being reactive never proactive…that’s why we need to manage the economy by minimising damage from circumstances out of our control

Yawn. The government has tried to fix price gouging for 50 years: • 1976 – Royal Commission • 1984 – PSA inquiry • 1990 – Price freeze • 1994–99 – State/federal inquiries • 1998 – Oversight scrapped • 2007 – ACCC inquiry + Oilcode • 2013 – Shopper docket cap • 2024 – Price gouging bill • 2026 – Penalties doubled

@AlboMP We’re getting flogged at the pump Albo, no one will be able to afford to get to work to pay their taxes if you get my drift!

@AlboMP Pity the ACCC can’t take action on you and your government.

@AlboMP And yet with every price rise the excise you take increases exponentially. Who is taking advantage?

@AlboMP Just buy an EV and charge on solar. We have more sunshine than most of the planet. ☀️☀️☀️

@AlboMP Too logical to have placed a limit on the amount we could have purchased each day from the beginning

@AlboMP Government interference in free markets. That always ends well for the citizens. This guy has destroyed Australians' wealth while being paid by them. A traitor of the highest order and belongs in prison for life.

@AlboMP What are you gonna do, freeze gas prices😆😆... plz don't That won't end well
