Yes, that Albo — the smug, sanctimonious fraud now parading as Prime Minister, preaching “energy security,” “resilience,” and “protecting Australians” while we’re still the ONLY IEA member nation in chronic, decades-long breach. …

Albanese was Infrastructure & Transport Minister from 2007 to 2013. …

It's a Uniparty - we live in a one party communist State.

Both parties failed to provide us with a 90 day fuel safety buffer -
the results could be horrendous if the war doesn't stop soon.
The only thing that might save us is we're more able
than most other countries to outbid them on price and
still get some fuel deliveries.
We can also use our gas exports as leverage if Albo is smart enough to do that.

That's because our Federal Level serves the International Community and makes them the priority over our Domestic needs.
The Governor-General serves Great Britain (and UK on ceremonial level)
Prime Ministers serve the USA
Federal serves the International
...Australia is an exploitable commodity

The only way our Domestic Economy will be made a Priority and benefit, is if the empowerment of Politics here switches from Federal to Shire or Regional. From the PM to the People - a world first true Common Wealth for the Common People and not an individual (who doesn't really represent us on a majority level).

Only a revolution of every Shire or at least Regional (Provincials) coming together across the continent to draw up a new Political format, Constitution, etc that disempowers the position of Prime Minister and Federal level as priority can solve this.
Hopefully they do this in British style and not like America which rejected the British way in favour of mainland European nations that adhere to all things Rome & Athens (which is failing to a dead end anyway).

Not a Republic either. Especially when these calls for a Republic are non-politically based on being Anti-MONARCHY (which has nothing to do with politics except ceremonial) by Media celebrities who have nothing but to bring Old World Irish gripes against English here like Muslims bringing their problems here against Jews, etc.

In 2002, Australia (under Howard) held over 300 days of fuel stock.
In January 2010 (Rudd), Australia had 83 days. In January 2012 (Gillard), Australia was down to 60 days, and in January 2015 (Abbott), we had just 51 days.

Now we have 3 weeks of supply left. WTF?

Now we have only 3 weeks supply left.

Try not to panic.

Anthony Albanese Has Warned Aussies Not To Panic-Buy Petrol Amidst Fuel Security Fears

Quote:

In what feels like a COVID-19 toilet paper crisis throwback, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has urged Aussies not to panic-buy petrol as it could add unnecessary pressure on current supplies.

Speaking to reporters in Tasmania on Wednesday, Albanese slammed Aussies who’ve begun to hoard petrol, stating, “It’s not the Australian way”.

“My message to Australians as well is to not take more fuel than you need,” he said, per news.com.au.

“That is how you can help think of others, be a good neighbour, a good community member and a good Australian.”

Even funnier than Chris Bowen's "un-Australian"

Keep the laughs coming, guys.

(By the way - you're both useless and pathetic idiots).

It sounds like good advice to me.

Maybe the caravan is loaded with jerry cans of petrol which they've filled and they're taking it all home to hoard (or try to sell a lot of it online for a profit)?

After all, that would definitely be "the Australian way", wouldn't it, Anthony?

Probably essential services like myself , a farmer and my wife a nurse would get petrol.

For many chodes on welfare or retirees or public servants it will be a long walk to work, via the bare shelved supermarkets with the apex gang mugging you on the way.

This could be great for the physical fitness of the population
