Ai has stole your job and your mind.
Only Trump can help you to get them back. But do you really want that?

They remove half of the fuel excise from today, but petrol stations won't drop their prices straight away because they've paid the full tax on the fuel sitting in their tanks at the moment.

When there's a rise they do it immediately but when there's a reduction they hold off for as long as they can.

Criminal bastards.

Indeed.

Just one of the many scams the rapist is involved in.

You can want to end reliance on fossil fuels while still being structurally dependent on them in the present, those two positions are not contradictory, they are simply an acknowledgement of reality during transition.

Look at the instability we're dealing with now because of the recklessness and incompitence of Trump and his handpicked DEI Secretary of War. When your energy security is tethered to volatile regions and erratic leadership, you don't get sovereignty, you get exposure.

If Australia weren't so reliant on fossil fuels, a poorly conceived and executed conflict wouldn't ripple through our economy with this kind of force. Fuel prices, cost of living pressures, supply shocks, all of it becomes amplified precisely because we've failed to insulate ourselves.

The real hypocrisy will come from those who complain endlessly about rising costs and instability, blame everyone in sight, and still run political cover for Trump, all while sneering at "lefties" for proposing alternatives.

This isn't just about geopolitical shocks. Oil is finite. That's not ideology, it's basic resource reality. Even without incompetence abroad, scarcity is baked into the system. The only question is whether we manage that decline deliberately, or get dragged through it chaotically.

Should that not be a reason to support clean, renewable energy anyway, now that we see how quickly everything falls apart when supply is interrupted, even if in this case it's because of an incompetent foreign government?

Or are the calls from the right for a sustainable Australia just a hypocritical cover for racism?
