Albo sold off our reserves.
We're doomed - don't panic.

Google AI:

2022 Sale/Release: In 2022, this oil was released or sold.
While some debate the exact timing and responsibility,
reports describe this action as part of a collective global effort
to stabilize fuel prices during international supply shocks.

DON'T PANIC

So now we will run out of:
aviation fuel,
diesel &
petrol in less than 1 month?

Who would have ever guessed that the incompetant bloated Orange manic would push Australian petrol prices towards $3 per litre. I honestly didn't see this one comming.

It's less than $1 a litre in the US, you need to look closer to home to see why you are paying $3 a litre.

I know. Cool eh.
It shows how incompetent both Parties have been since the 80s in dismantling our self sufficient abilities to provide for ourselves and sell our resources for max profit and become totally reliant on overseas producers and middlemen nations like Chinabby turning our country into a DOWN UNDER PEASANT consumer.

You know, the CIA put in Dictators in many countries to keep their nations weak while American Media put on a show about how evil they are.

Anus Taylor was asked today about his deal with Trump to store our 90 day emergency fuel in the USA and said ask Chris Bowen and immediately ask for the next question.

What is opposition leader Anal Taylor hiding?

He signed off on deal when minister in the failed Scomo government.

I suspect that there are no mechanisms in place to have our emergency supply of oil activated or plans to transport it to Australia.

Australia mainstream media as well as the uni party has failed the Australian people.

Again!!!

The good thing about Trump's action has forced the issue. Now we may see a return to that self sufficiency because of this.

I concur. We'll see the transition to renewable energy hastened.

The quicker we convert to solar, wind and battery power, the quicker we can hook up our EVs and get off this silly petrol nonsense.

It may not happen overnight, but it will happen, no?

You’re not suggesting we uncapped our existing oil wells and exploration of known oil reserves?

That would be bad for our environment???
