A brief timeline on Albo handling-

“It’s not a crisis, we have plenty of fuel coming, trust me “.

“ We are in a crisis but please don’t fill up your tanks as we have plenty of fuel coming “.

“ you can trust the labor party to lead us out of this dire economic emergency because we remember how badly we got everything wrong during Covid “.

Pretty much sums it up, eh?

“In the rural seat of Hammond, One Nation’s primary vote was up 20 percentage points with the Liberals 21 points down.”

Goodbye Angus, goodbye the nation party.

Ideas?

Work from home is a good idea to save on fuel.

Also – what about banning people leaving the cities on Easter holidays?
That is such a waste of fuel in an emergency.

Ah remnants of COVID lockdown, we know what do do

This was a meme back then, I just changed last digit from a “3” to “6” to keep up with current trend.

Better yet - what about not voting your DL into office in the first place?

You think it might have been easier just to vote for Karmala?

It looks we will run out within one month.
There are already 100s of petrol stations with no fuel left.

This will cost lives – possible examples:
people unable to get medicine and food,
ambulances that can't rescue injured or dying people,
police that can't answer distress calls,
people who run out of fuel on motorways and get out of their cars
only to be run down and killed,
trucks that can't deliver essential food and other items.

But of course. We're hardly going to transition to EVs in the next month, now are we?

Ask Lee and the old boy. They've been doing their homework.

So I'm curious. Given we're in for a massive recession, who do you blame?

That's a question.

China move could doom Aussie flights as jet fuel shipments drop to zero

Australia’s biggest jet fuel supplier appears to have cut us off,
with no new shipments scheduled for next month in a move that could trigger flight chaos.

March 26, 2026

Whose idea was it to rely on China for ANYTHING? Keating? Howard? Rudd?

Would you like a real answer, or is anything more than a one-liner you can use against the person replying going to trigger you into dismissing it?

Spoiler Alert, I've already drafted the proper reply, I'm just wondering if it will be wased on you as always?

Looks like you're running from the answer before it's even been given...

Typical Fran.

I blame Trump unless he can make sure we get the fuel we need.
Some is on the way now.

I have some good news:

US ships ‘coming to our rescue’ in fuel crisis
Australia relies on Asia for fuels. But three large shipments of petrol and diesel are on their way to our shores from the US, in a move one expert is calling “highly unusual”.

Map shows brutal truth about Australia’s fuel crisis as the country sits on 42 years’ worth of oil reserves
Petrol prices are biting as war throws the nation into a crisis — but experts say there’s enough oil in the ground to supply Aussies for decades.

Don't be redeculous.

Quote:

“It will likely be at a minimum a few years before you make a discovery, and then several years after that before you get commercial scale production, so this is really about ensuring our supply security in the 2030s rather than to address the immediate crisis.”

We'll have EVs before we start fracking shale oil in the middle of nowhere.

As every schoolboy knows.
