Sounds like you don't concur, dear.

Oh well. During the covid lockdowns, we followed the rules entirely. They were bi-partisan, you silly old thing.

A nation of convicts and Boongs - just so.

We're here, you're there - and yes, we plan to be energy self-reliant by 2050.

You?

Ah, no.

It was the exact opposite.

Those on the left obeyed the rules and got on with it, while those on the right refused to comply.

You have a very short, clouded memory.

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.

It was around $1.80 before Trumps war on petrol. Our local corupt conditions are a different problem.

Fuel excise,
GST,
weak Aussie dollar.

And still around $1.80 before Trumps stupidity. Its a different problem. Or a different excuse ?

It's worse than you think -
we were still paying high prices even though we
weren't paying to store vast reserves of oil and
we were getting the best prices out of Singapore
instead of paying megabucks to refine it ourselves.

DON'T PANIC

‘There will be no groceries on shelves’: Australian fuel is desperately ‘running dry’

Mar 16, 2026 Peta Credlin

Political contributor Chris Uhlmann claims Australia is “running dry” on fuel.

“There’s a lot of blame to go around here, and it goes back more than two decades,” Mr Uhlmann told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“There are many governments over many years that have left us in the position that we are in now.

“There will not be any groceries on the shelves, there will not be any planes in the sky.

“If we do not clear this up soon, then Australia is deeply exposed.”

Don’t worry about the petrol.

Tim Tams could hit $30 a packet!

In all seriousness it’s time to “ try” and get OUR emergency fuel supplies in Australia from the USA.

I just don’t believe Albo would be able to ask Trump to give us our oil.

He would likely say no anyway.

“Fantastic. Great work Anal. Well done storing our emergency fuel supplies in Texas”.

At least Scomo got a medal from Trump and a free Turkey dinner?
