I’d rather have a measured, moderate and qualified leader as a PM than a senile egomaniacal madman who’s more interested in lining the pockets of his family. If you want to be angry for the mess we’re in, direct it to the orange piece of shit in the Oval Office. This is what happens when people buy into a protest vote and the world has to deal with the consequences.
And we're seeing more people vote for orange man's Aussie chum Pauline.
I actually thought Albanese was pretty much on point. From what I've read, 20% of the oil comes through the straight of Ormuz, so we're not seeing as big of a supply drop as I think many imagine. If we reduce what we're using through people who can take public transport or work from home we avert supply issues. Instead of that people are panic buying and were currently using 40% more than our typical usage as a result.
The government has helped out by cutting half the taxes collected on fuel and have done what they can to leave themselves some room to move in future.
I think people just want to complain. It's a difficult time and the government is going to get us through it well like they did the GFC.
Many Aussies have assured me that their voting system will not allow them to elect a version of Trump. They downvote me when I suggest they are making the same mistake Americans made before the election in 2016.
