And proof that Federal Level politics here has failed this country.

It's every Shire and Provincial for themselves!!!

Even the States can't hold back the inevitable when the Federal ceiling collapses.

I said this would happen since 2010 on here.

All we needed were tank farms to store vast amounts of crude oil
and refined products -
enough for 250 days or more.
Our leaders were too brain dead to organise it.
Instead Albo wasted our money on crap like $450 million
on an Abbo referendum.
The whole lot of them should be charged with criminal negligence.

Yes they should.
You can't blame the British and their Convict input here.
They committed their crimes back in Britain, etc.
It's the Americanised Media Lefties who have sabotaged our Political well-being by committing such crimes of failure, corruption and putting other countries first before us - HERE!

Our leaders are incompetent arse clowns who care more
about homo marriage than our national security.

“ In April 2020, then-Energy Minister Angus Taylor announced a $94 million purchase of oil to be stored in the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to meet International Energy Agency (IEA) requirements. This move aimed to secure a 90-day supply following low prices during the COVID-19 pandemic, though it was criticized for storing fuel offshore.”

“ AI.

This event never occurred. Angus Taylor misled parliament , the people of Australia and the Australian business world.

“ The Albanese government did not sell a "90-day oil supply" belonging to Australia. Instead, in June 2022, the government authorized the sale of approximately 1.7 million barrels of crude oil that was stored in the United States.“

This event did occur but escaped mainstream media scum, I scrum attention and reporting.
The amount we actually had in storage was closer to a week than 90 days an Angus Taylor had lied about.

“ Australia has not met the International Energy Agency requirement of holding 90 days of net oil imports in reserve since 2012.”

“Al

Fact. Any politician from both sides who have consistently presented our fuel storage as meeting
Minimum requirements has lied to both parliament, the Australian people and the Australian business community as well as the stock exchange.

This is not rumours, nor is it innuendo.

Every Federal politician since 2012 has acted to deceive and openly mislead both the Australian parliament and people.

Nothing short of a royal commission is acceptable in this moral corrupt actions that have led to the Australian people being severely harmed and left in dire distress is acceptable.

It’s time.

They must be removed and punished.

Unlike you lot. Trump doesn't say "Stop. Or I'll say Stop again." with evil that is Terrorism.

Google AI tells us:

Refined petroleum products generally have a limited shelf life of 3 to 6 months for gasoline and up to 1-2 years for diesel, depending on storage conditions. Oxidation, heat, humidity, and bacterial growth cause fuel to oxidize, turn acidic, and form varnish or sludge, which can damage engines.

While crude oil can be stored for long periods, refined products are designed for relatively fast consumption, necessitating stock rotation.

Therefore we could store fuel for much longer than the 21 days we have now.

We must have the smallest strategic fuel reserve in the world?
It's a scandal.
Something has to be done about it.

Note:
France maintains roughly 118 to 120 days of strategic oil reserves, exceeding the 90-day minimum required by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Your opinion is duly noted.

It doesn't change the inconvenient (for you) truth: if Trump had done absolutely NOTHING, there'd be less enriched nuclear material in Iran, inspectors would still be in their facilities, and we wouldn't be staring down years of oil shortages and cascading supply chain chaos.

But sure, keep hiding from that reality behind personal attacks. Bravo.

‘Second warning’: Aussies rebuked over panic-buying as gas companies put on notice

Gas companies have been warned about price increases, as experts urge Aussies to learn from pandemic-era supply chain shocks.

"Second warning" Grin

Let me know when we get to warning #10 - I can guarantee everyone will still be panic buying even then.

Pauline can ask Penny in the Senate, Bobby.

When she gets her answer, she can ask the Libs.

They should like that. Thanks to Pauline and the Teals, they won't be in government ever again.

Please explain?
