"The gas giants won’t have to explore for new gas fields themselves. Santos, Woodside, Origin, Chevron, BP and Shell won’t have to spend a cent looking for new deposits — you’ll be paying for it instead.
@luciedigitalni I think it's time to depose/compost the 2 party system we have and vote in a parliament of all independents who are wanting what's best for our country and not their pockets or their mates!
@MorpheusB independents, by definition, have to overdeliver for their electorates to get reelected. We're very lucky to have David Pocock representing the ACT in the Senate. He's not a Teal, he's actually a fair bit to the left of them on most issues, but the simple fact that he's not just another party apparatchik makes such a difference. The fact that he happens to have some real voting power on the Senate crossbench means he's able to get some meaningful stuff done
@luciedigitalni@MorpheusB Speaking of which, and very rudely butting in, are you across Fiona Carrick (with her party with their own column on the ballot paper) is standing in Murrumbidgee, Lucie?? 🥳
@MorpheusB@luciedigitalni I've said this before on social media, but it's worth repeating: Tibor, a taxi driver in Wellington, said to me "A country with a 2-party system is like a tired man: he stands on one foot for a while, then tries the other foot, but it really doesn't make any difference". #auspol
@luciedigitalni SA Premier Peter Malinauskas's primary election promise was to "Solve the Ramping" at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, he even went around in the back of an ambulance with a film crew pre-election to "help out", years later he hasn't done a single thing about it... Yet when his brother Robert Malinauskas on the board of Santos asked good'ol Pete to stop the protestors protesting against Santos, Peter then passed the fastest piece of legislation in Australia History (in just 12 hours!) to ban protesting with a $50,000 fine and 3 months jail... And no one bat a single eyelid...... And have you seen Pete riding around in any more Ambulances "helping out" lately? Nope!.... Labor are just as corrupt as Liberal, both owned and operated 100% by corrupt corps. I would not trust them even if they said water was wet.
@luciedigitalni Anthony Rio Tinto is doing a great job of heading his party into a minority govt.
With LNP being not even being remotely electable under Duddo & Sssusssan, we are approaching a rare point in Australian politics where the electorate can put into parliament more independents, Teals & Greens.
