To blame #Labor for a fuel price rises is ridiculous. It was successive #LNP and Labor governments who oversaw the degradation of refining and storage capacity, and chemical engineering, and engineering education, in general. We will cope, but it's a timely alert to decouple from fossil fuel dependence.
Fuel prices will always rise during market disruption and manipulation. Real #EnergySecurity requires governments to act and not to rely on private enterprise to determine national policy. Both #Labor and the #LNP have failed that regard. OneNation would be worse still.
Energy security will not be solved by building more refineries and fuel storage. Decarbonising on the other hand is a win-win. Electric trucks are already working in mining, bulk haulage, delivery, waste handling and much more. We, as a people united, need to build better long-haul transport - probably based on, in large part, electric heavy rail. I can't see #Nuclear as a realistic component of #Australia's energy future, as every other renewable source is cheaper, more sustainable and much less risky. Let's get on with it, ready for next #Trump-like emergency or other externally initiated threat. #Insiders

Why bother? Simply lump them all together and call them what they are - a pack of Compulsory Income Management #whiteaustralia supporting racists.

bsky.app/profile/antf... @barnabyjoycemp.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy is totally wrong, as usual, but why change habits of a lifetime ? #ausPol #insiders 🍾🥂

Excellent to see Jason from the Saturday Paper on #Insiders He raises much deeper points than are normally discussed. Though the other panelists contributed also. @jksocrates.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy
@Jinjirrie Ah, it's worse than you think, he was actually wearing an S. Kidman hat, which is Gina's company and outback outfitters based in Tamworth
Australian fascism wears a Kidman. Baarnabee unleashed: "I don't believe in multiculturalism." #AusFascism #Insiders #ZionismIsWhiteSupremacy #OneNotion
@InsurgoFormica that's what they always do after a guest is on
They should have called him out on South Australia though, the Liberals there are preferencing One Nation
Hopefully they don't win any seats despite that
Overall, the interview was pretty much what was to be expected. I'm not sure Barnaby will still be with One Nation at the next election, he clearly isn't comfortable with Pauline's racism
Harsh but fair analysis from Jason Katsoukis: Pauline Hanson's greatest achievement in 30 years of political service is becoming personally wealthy. #insiders
@joannejacobs i just see him as a compromised coal spruiker
Canavan is not a "fascinating character", David Speers, he's a hard right radical. #insiders
OMG, why are we going to try and break down what Barnaby said?
I have a medical exemption from watching #insiders but I heard Barnaby Joyce was on.
How many times before have they had a One Nation rep on the show? Is this the collapse of a Cordon Sanitaire?
They see Pauline as a racist, Barnaby. #insiders
I tried to watch #Insiders. I couldn't.
Not only was Barnaby Joyce going to be on, the flappy heads were all going on about how the 3 Iranian women footballers who decided to go home have 'been pressured' (but apparently they weren't pressured to seek asylum by the diaspora) and that they're 'going back to a repressive regime'.
Removing all agency from these women footballers seems to be the order of the day, and not a word about how the US and Israel are murdering their family and friends, and they might want to be close to them
WRONG BARNABY. WE DO HAVE ELECTRIC SEMI-TRAILERS. #insiders https://youtu.be/1fhczNbcv0s?si=4bbiVv-tA-KAsQfj
The sooner we adopt more solar and wind power the better. Then we are not reliant on the government of Iran. #insiders
Actually Barnaby, we *do* have electric semi-trailers. While they are mostly in trial right now, they do exist and we need more of them. #insiders
