@IanHanke Indeed - but that doesn’t make the current response wrong any more than it makes previous responses right. It’s straight up misogyny no matter how you look at it. Political expedience has created One Nation - it sure as hell won’t send it back where it belongs.
@frogfarmer1@ABCmediawatch@ABCaustralia Nah, I’ll pull you up on the one. Media for politicians must be a two-way street in a functioning democracy. ON would squeal loudly if the ABC denied them any coverage.

If Australia held 30 days of fuel supply, then every single litre sold in the last month was bought by the supplier at pre-Iran price. Yet it’s a cut in government revenue that we’re all fussed about, not the super profits of the oil companies?
Searoad, the primary freight provider to/from Tasmania, just announced a fuel surcharge of 37.94%.
Sometimes it’s nice to at the other end of the world, but Tasmanian business is going to need your support, Australia. Perhaps swap imported products for Tasmanian made for a bit?
