Albo will have finally seen the light -

he will make Australia energy independent with our own oil resources?

1 April 2026


Anthony Albanese will deliver an address to the nation to be televised nationwide at 7pm AEDT tonight.

The Prime Minister will outline the federal government's response to the Middle East conflict and encourage Australians to all play their part by saving fuel for the areas and industries that need it.

Albanese's first address to the nation during a time of crisis since Covid will be broadcast live across all television and radio networks simultaneously.

It comes after the federal government on Wednesday announced temporary relief measures for small businesses struggling during the fuel crisis.

Meanwhile, the fuel excise has been halved by 26 cents a litre in a bid to head off the worst economic effects of the Middle East war.

But many motorists won't see the savings at the bowser immediately, as service stations need to sell their older, higher-taxed stock before bringing in the cheaper fuel.

Yet, in the beginning, they didn't bat an eye raising the fuel prices when they were still sitting on the old cheaper stock.

Yeah - funny that -
the war started on 28th Feb 2026 and the petrol went up within 2 days. :roll:

Albo's speech?

It was all bullshit -

it was like he was talking to kids.

No mention about about future energy independence,

or rationing if we can't get more fuel. :WTF


He's incompetent - he has no long term plan -

people shouldn't be wasting scarce fuel on Easter holidays. WTF?

It was no Churchillian speech -
we didn't hear:

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender.

I think the cost of petrol is nearly all tax:

You have the 52 cents fuel excise plus the GST -

but wait - the petrol station has to pay:
land taxes, payroll taxes, taxes on profits, income taxes and super for all their employees.

The petrol tanker driver + company delivering the petrol has to pay road taxes and
taxes on profits, income taxes and super for all their employees.

The petrol companies have to pay taxes on their profits and all sorts of other taxes,
payroll taxes and super for all their employees.

I heard that every company pays about 20 different taxes just to operate their business.
They even have to employ accountants and lawyers to get on top of their tax obligations -
more expense.

Petrol is one gigantic tax grab.

We are never short when it comes to examples of Albo saying one thing, and doing the absolute opposite
If Albo followed through on his 2022 budget reply promises, Australia would be in a significantly better position than we are at the moment
Like he said, this guy and his party of Australia hating traitors have had 4 years to prepare for times exactly like this. To bolster our supplies, be more self reliant with an accessible on shore fuel reserve
This guy speaks nothing but spin and lies and is a major part of the reason we are where we are right now
Totally useless in every respect of managing this country...
