Australian Politics

Jeez, the alleged leftie press is unreadable guff sometimes: Anthony Albanese’s approval rating has dropped five points over the summer as Peter Dutton ramped up what Indigenous leader Noel Pearson calls “a spoiling game” on the voice to parliament.

Despite ignoring the issue forever, the MSM is cock-a-whoop: Here is what Shell has done: Shell’s Queensland-based gas company QGC on Monday notified customers it was again accepting bids for 8 petajoules of wholesale gas supply for 2023.

All of them.

It’s like our media is retarded: China will hold high-level trade talks with Australia in coming weeks, according to state media, boosting hopes that it will pave the way for the easing of some of Beijing’s $20 billion tariffs on Australian exports.

When in doubt, lie: Future prices for electricity dropped by about a third after the government announced its energy price caps, in what Treasurer Jim Chalmers says is a sign the market intervention is already taking effect.

Let us recall the liars the thieves of Australia’s mining narco-state: Shell and Woodside Energy have extended a suspension to enter into new supply contracts until details about the government’s proposed “reasonable price” provision, sources said.

JPM with the rich irony.

By Stephen Saunders: The October Budget offers us a sparkly new “wellbeing” framework.

There are all kinds of gas cartel apologists on the hustings today, nitpicking over this and that in the government’s price caps.

When I worked at the Victorian Treasury in 2006, the Government had recently released “Melbourne 2030”, which projected that Melbourne’s population would reach 5 million people by 2030.

Just wow.

This makes a lot more sense than Mike Cannon-Brooks cable to nowhere: Andrew Forrest’s Squadron Energy is considering bidding for Sun Cable – the visionary $35 billion clean energy export project in northern Australia – against Mike Cannon-Brookes, but will dump a 5000-kilometre power cable link to Singapore if successful.

It’s a new year but it’s the same old gas cartel.

Coalition humiliation is complete: The Albanese government will cap the carbon price at $75 a tonne for miners and other big industrial emitters, in a bid to shield business from the risk of future cost spikes and provide certainty under Labor’s decarbonisation plan.

I will track these prices regularly.

It appears wolf warrior Xi Jinping is more like Xi the Idiot.

Albo was slow off the mark and buggered it up a few times but his government has averted a catastrophic 2023 energy crisis that was going to drive gas and power bills up by 120% (at today’s coal and gas prices) and add 7% to the CPI.

Housing Minister Julie Collins has named outgoing Mirvac CEO Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz to lead the federal government’s interim National Housing Supply and Affordability Council.

The last opinion poll of the year has seen the Albanese Government’s popular support lift after it passed its gas price cap through parliament.

The weekend media was full of gas crap.

Out of all the hills to die on, idiot Peter Dutton has chosen the worst one in siding with the foreign owned energy cartel over Australians.
