the fuel crisis

[Bobby]

I along with most people had no idea we were so vulnerable to
overseas trade and supply in oil.

Our Govts. from both sides of politics let us down in a terrible way.
I want to see all those responsible on trial for criminal negligence:
public servants and consultants who failed to warn politicians -
unless they did warn them and the Pollys ignored it?

Both sides of politics are right behind AUKUS -
wasting $360 billion to get 8 lousy subs in 15 to 20 years
yet there was no money for oil refineries or searching for more oil and gas -
which is where our real national security is to be found.

Even a proper tax on our gas exports could have paid for
more refineries and oil searching - drilling exploration holes free of charge.

Honestly - the politicians we have couldn't organise a chook raffle in a pub -
they are that hopeless -
they just hold their hands out for big salaries for doing nothing.
They don't care about us at all.
