Push for gas tax as LNG exports reap huge profits after one week of war
Gas prices tripled in 2022, which was the last time an international conflict hit energy markets. Experts say it may happen again due to the Iran war.
In 2022 oil prices doubled and gas prices quadrupled after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Australian govt needs to act quickly to ensure that domestic prices are protected from price spikes internationally and that we get a fair return on windfall profits from multinationals' exports of our LNG.

Or maybe they did and all the drill baby drill donors are laughing.
Lots of money made on Polymarket by insiders no doubt when the war started.
The game is more rigged than it ever was.

I had never considered how the Gulf States might suffer due to the #EpsteinWar
No wonder some are very angry at the Orange Rapist #Iran

Given Iran is attacking some oil infrastructure, it matters less if Iran can actually target ships or not.
Takes a while to build a refinery.

โThe ship that sank in the Indian Ocean was unarmed & carrying officers in training. Attacking such a ship is war crimeโ
Trump, Netanyahu & Modi โ All three of them should be ashamed.

Photo showing Sen MarkWayne Mullin cowardly crouching behind a row of chairs as
approx 8 other men use various pieces of furniture to hold back rioters as they threatened to break into the House chamber on Jan. 6, 2021.

The cropping on this version of the photo is more flattering than the wide, where itโs clear that he is not only hiding behind a chair but also not helping the others in that room who were actually trying to secure the room.

The Liberals made an extraordinary allegation yesterday -- that PM Albanese used last year's cut in Opposition staff as leverage for his freedom of information crackdown.
According to Senator Bragg, Govt tried to do a deal: support the FOI Bill "in exchange for" more staff.

Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.

If you mean the diesel excise rebate, I don't think anyone is going to touch that for farmers.
Hopefully they will look at winding it back for miners.
The excise is a fixed amount so increases in fuel prices will be an incentive to electrify what they can.

Hopefully it is now obvious that Uncle Sam is not coming to our rescue should we ever need it.
The Gulf States have had a rude awakening.
We need to pivot hard to our own region.

Labor has so many reasons to get Australia out of AUKUS.
Canada sees itโs a dud deal and doesnโt want to join any more.
Thereโs another illegal Trump & Netanyahu war in the Middle East that Australia should not be supporting.

Bottom pic Wind turbines solar panels and green fields.
I don't think anyone is going to build another refinery here.
We should be on a war footing electrifying everything.

Four democrats voted AGAINST a war powers resolution that wouldโve forced Trump to seek congressional approval to continue waging Israelโs war on Iran.
Henry Cuellar (TX)
Jared Golden (ME)
Greg Landsman (OH)
Juan Vargas (CA)
The resolution failed 219-212.
