Australia SHOULD be an energy POWERHOUSE!
Jun 23^rd, 2025 at 8:40pm

Australia SHOULD be an energy powerhouse.

Australia SHOULD have one of the strongest economies in the world.

Australia SHOULD have the cheapest energy in the world.

Australians SHOULD have one of the best living standards in the world.

Australia has been sold out.

We SHOULD be leading the charge.

But no.

Our governments are destroying us - and YOU keep voting for them.. 🫵

The Grappler Party - We ARE The People! Haven't I taught you anything, peccary?

Anyway - Australia should be a powerhouse in many ways... but it's been sold out for a quick buck by parasites and self-servers in politics and public service, all living off the fattest in the land and with their retirement funding safe while running the country into ruin for everyone else.

BHP is not the "Big Australian" anymore.
