Australian energy bills could surge as Iran conflict drives up global gas prices Experts warn of similarities with 2022, when electricity prices went up by more than 40% due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Gas companies that export 🇦🇺 gas are about to make windfall profits after strikes on Iran & we have no plan to capture that value for 🇦🇺

Worker led workplace laws are delivering for Australia

Despite the AFR/Australian narrative, Labor is improving opportunities for Aussies

America first. Today’s Age cartoon

Very good. I feel guilty laughing though.

Wait the remind me Bot is working again?

Cut-price Costello Tim Wilson on Sky just now: "It’s very clear to me that when there’s an increase in petrol prices, Jim Chalmers collects more excise revenue."
Excise is not based on price changes. It's indexed twice a year in line with inflation.

Oh dear. He really ain't that bright is he..

But predictably people are crying out for the excise to be cut as if Jevons Paradox isn't a thing.

You are assuming they will welcome Uncle Sam with open arms after he murders 185 kids?

They are mourning not protesting.

They were never going to overthrow the Government. The Orange Idiot was duped.

Sgt. First Class Nicole M. Amor sacrificed everything, because the child rapist bone spurs dingbat had an opinion! That opinion was implanted in the vacuum in his head by Israel and Saudi Arabia just hours before he acted like a dictator and declared war on Iran! Putting Americans in harms way

Thanks.

I am trying to get my head around the local reserve legislation.

It appears Labor has slightly increased our diesel stocks from the original Coalition levels.

AFAICT the difference between the IEA requirement (90 days) and what we have is 'in transit' oil or fuel?

The SA State Government cut down the pine forest to my East and the only benefit is that I now get to see the moon.

It was impressive last night.

Albanese government rejected advice on Tasmanian salmon farming impact before passing pro-industry laws FoI documents show ministers ignored recommendation for fresh inquiry that could have reduced or paused farming

Far out.

“The environment department advised the government in late 2024 that it should revoke a 2012 decision that allowed salmon farming to expand …”

The Iranian regime is vile and the attack on them by Israel and the US is a war crime. Much needed clarity on these two realities by Geoffrey Robertson. Solidarity with the Iranian and Lebanese people and condemnation of this latest US Israeli war of aggression is what the world must focus on.

WTF is Merz doing there?

I miss Angela.

Squeaks up in cyclist.

Such a backward country.

Being from SA I can thankfully say I never had the 'pleasure'.

A bit cheaper than Senator Babble the $100 million man.

Idiocracy came early.

Wait what? We have the 90 day level in storage?

I saw a screengrab of QLD petrol stations and they had already hiked by about 40c/ltr

Also did we ever get that oil we have stored in Texas?
