Oh, dear.

More "un-Australian" behaviour.

Thieves siphon fuel from parked cars as petrol shortage crisis deepens to impact fruit and vegetable store prices

Quote:

Heartless criminals have started siphoning petrol out of cars parked on the street as the crime wave from the fuel crisis gets worse by the day.

Not surprising.

As I've said before - I'm sure glad I got rid of my car last September. Apart from the cost of petrol at the moment (if you can find a service station that still has some) I'm pretty sure some a-hole would have siphoned mine by now because there is no secure, undercover parking where I live and I didn't have a locking fuel filler cap.

Disgraceful stuff and definitely not the Australian way. Roll Eyes

No. You Lefties did this.

You SIPHONED money from American citizens in the BILLIONS 💸💵💸💵
and gave it to the TERRORISTS via Clinton and Obama to fund their Nuclear armament project along with the UN FAKE monitoring that they admitted to last year and to ILLEGAL invaders into America via Biden.

As our Anti Australian Self Sustainable Party politics.

Australia Has Weeks of Fuel Left. Here's Who's Responsible.

Mar 23, 2026

Australia's fuel crisis is worse than reported ...we have weeks of petrol, diesel, and jet fuel left, not months. Both major parties knew about this critical oil shortage and ignored the warnings for decades.

As of March 2026, Australia holds catastrophically low fuel reserves, falling short of our 90-day international energy security obligation. The reserves we claim to have? They're "paper barrels" stored in the United States, not actual fuel in Australian tanks.

In this video I break down the latest news on how we got here: refinery closures, ignored government warnings, and the failed energy policy that left Australians exposed to potential fuel shortages and soaring petrol prices.

From the video in the link in my earlier post. Selfish pr!ck. "I'm alright, Jack and stuff everyone else". Someone should have that printed on a shirt. Oh, and why did they need to blur his face? Name and shame the bastards, I say.

Maybe he is a farmer who needed to put his crop in for winter?

"The plan I bounced out of bed with today was to come down here and take thousands of litres of fuel, take it home and hoard it.

So, by the time the chodes put down their fast food, turn off Netflix, get up off the couch and come down here there won't be a drop of fuel left.

Let that be a lesson to them.

How's that for a plan?

Worth studying."

Meh.

Farmers are pretty honest folk.

My residence in suburbia has been burgled by suburban folk.
My farm has been burgled by suburban folk.
I don't see too many of my farming neighbours heading off to town to do break and enters.
I definitely see the meth heads in outer suburbia heading out to the country to do break and enters.

As to whether fuel will eventually flow to farmers and urban dwellers will miss our.
I think the urban dwellers will be BEGGING for that to happen

If the crops aren't harvested, the milking machines don't run, the cows aren't trucked, the fruit isn't delivered then Bobby will be eaten by a Sudanese.

We farmers are sort of " essential,'
Pensioners and work from home public servants are sort of " irrelevant"

Of course if there are shortages I fully expect my well armed farming neighbours will ensure our fine rural folk are looked after first.

If we have a surplus, we might send it on.
Food rationing would be a blessing for the obese city dweller.

Maybe I could even host Carl and white knight at a farm and they could pick crops for no money but get 3 square meals a day.

I think Carl and whoteknight would be fighting each other for the privilege of picking a crop if it came to that.

We might even be able to accommodate th in the stables
