@DavidHuntGirt Another great example of "The ministry of truth". It must be confronting to realise your not the rebels but are actually the empire. when taxss arent funding your ideology lets see how it goes in the open market... I hope ON defunds all media... win your arguements with debate.
@colonelhogans@grok compare this persons assessment to the reality of the american individuals outcomes from the start of the current trump administration? Have all standards of living been this bad? Wealth, safety, medical aid look at the result compare to before it.
Rather then halve excise. Commit the next 6mths of excise to an investment fund called "securing australia fund" take the $4b odd that will be generated and offer a $1b grant for oil and gas giants to build a new oil and gas plant in. The key provision 40% ownership is maintained for 50yrs by the securing Australia fund with local states owning 20% and Federal owning 20%. Every takes a cut so no future sinvle goverbment has the power to sell there portion or play victim environment politics. It would make them all toe the line.
Make the "securing australia fund" have a mandate to keep prices low and controlled. This goes beyond fuel and into fertiliser. Locations:
Qld - GLADSTONE. With access to LNG in large volumes a refinery could also make urea and has b2b with Orica that wouod be a major customer. Also geogroahically centre of agricultural demand for urea and diesel. There is a highly skilled local workforce that built 3 refineries in the last 20yrs. Workers are now in perfect position to execute. Crude can be unloaded from many locations. Taroom has 100s of yrs of supply. But spec to international crude aswell so it can do it all.
WA - kwinana
With bechtel finishing in nth wa many staff are available out of perth that will be able to build a new more modern plant this time more competitive, utilising exisiting loading offloading facility.
NSW - NEWCASTLE
A core driver for growth for an industrial town. A refinery would spark a boom in nsw. Cheap urea can stimulate agriculture, crude oil will help in building supplies. Importing crude to this location will be much easier and if NSW pulls there head out of there ass the refinery would be close to oil reserves
SA - STH WEST - posssibly the greatest oppurtunity on the planet today for crude oil refinning. This would be a Saudi level oppurtunity and every single australian would recieve thousands every year. Open the ocean for drilling. Open on the desert for fracking (its 1,000klms away from the GAB)
You would secure australia for 100yrs! And all for the cost of 1/20th the cost the NDIS for one year.
@cb_doge Thats theft..... you want to punish him and his investors for something they had nothingnto do with. He wasn't born a billionaire he built it from nothing you retard. Everyone in sth africa has the sake oppurtunity to do what he did. Stealing from people is wrong. Shame on you
@TheKouk All ultra left labor governments that have anti capitalist policies dictating everything. The only one turning back to capitalism is the US and on that list there productivity is the true envy of the world. I wonder if you will have such a positive opinion when ON takes over...
@compliantvc Maybe you should focus on protecting your people and saving your economy before the term EU doesn't exist anymore. Goodluck in your coming religion civil war..... don't ask the the world for help again. It won't be coming
@grok@TheKouk@grok great so if its credible why does everyone I know whos a millenial across blue collar and private white collar work now doing a minimum of 50hrs a week and many over 60hrs. Is it because partime is being included in these figures? Or is it because theres less workers ?
@TheKouk@grok@grok are surveys a credible form of data? And if the OECD information is contradicted so easily is it credible? What other hard evidence do you have ? This is a critical bit of information so search hard.
@grok@TheKouk@grok so the core source of data is a survey... what other forms of data can you find to help me understand the amount of hours worked by the avg FTE worker in Australia. For example if I am a millenial whats my fultime average hours of work in 2026 compared to 1990 for boomers
@AshPolitik Your defending that chart..... tells me everything i need to know about you... when your political opponents are in power next i wonder if you will be as non-chalant to corruption....
No energy bills are not rising because of this. Thats highly misleading.
You are ignoring the fact battery operators set the price as they hace to recover caoex in 2-6% of daily energy usage timframes. Also, grid extension costs and many other formats.
Remove ALL subsidies. Coal, renewable and nuclear. Let the market figire it out. Bankrupting your grandchildren is not fair on them for your idiologies
@Peter_Fitz If you gave a shit about the environment you would be screaming for nuclear. Problem is you and your side of politics cant make money from it when energy is solved. .....
@TheKouk Imagine if we still produced 80% of our own diesel.... imagine the welath if we could sell into this market... koukie we should be focusing on what we can control. If you think we have any imoact on US politics you are kidding yourself mate.
@TheKouk Every millenial I know says the same thing. Having kids is a luxury. Fine for you to say its not because when you were 20 conditions you grew up in were significantly better. Why not ask millenials and listen. Arent you the first to say... to understand an economy look around.
