Nothing quite like a bloke who helped offshore Australia’s fuel security suddenly discovering “concern” about fuel security.
We didn’t just stumble into this mess, it was years of gutting local capacity, ignoring energy transition, and outsourcing responsibility.
Now the same crowd want to blame everyone else and hand out short term fixes like excise cuts.
You don’t get to light the fire and then campaign as the firefighter.

Hastie is shaping up to be much less neoliberalistic than I expected. Angas has since come out and doubled down on supporting his mates and donors in methane industry. I hope that Charmers and Albo have balls to lead.

Some more on #AngusTaylor :

‘ 12.49 AEDT The POint — online
Angus Taylor uses welcoming speech to attack Islamic migration. Angus Taylor also used his speech to continue pushing Islamophobia. He said in his official address:

“Another mutual threat is Islamic extremism. In Europe and in Australia, the generosity of liberal democracies has been exploited.

We’ve opened our doors some people who don’t want to embrace our culture, who want erase it. The doors must [be shut to those who don’t embrace our culture]

Our culture can only survive by putting our values at the very centre of our immigration policies.’

Of course he doesn’t mention the mutual threat of far right extremism, which has been home grown in both Europe and Australia. What does that say about our ‘values’?”

Before Middle Eastern cultures, there was ‘red under the bed’, Greek and Italian migrants, recently African migrants have been targeted as well. the LNP is replete with #Racists. It’s all they can do from not getting in bed with #PHON. For this reason as well, I hate the #fascist #tRump
