When you take lessons from Bowen, Albo and Chalmers, it’s no surprise. They are also dribblers of the highest order.

Petrol prices down below $2.00 per litre across the board. Cheapest place near me had it for $1.79/L this morning!

Thanks Albo for steering us through Trump's warmongering madness - couldn't have asked for any better or more stable leader during this time.

Be interesting to see the budget but I can only imagine it's going to be quite ugly.

I personally dislike this guy. From little I've seen he comes across as smug and arrogant....

In what way?

Shoehorn of the week

Think of a pear shape.....

Think of a pear shape.....

I suspect we’ll see more tax on higher wealth to offset less tax (or at least less tax admin) on lower wealth.
I suspect we’ll see cuts to spending but increases to longer term funding.
And we’ll probably see an increase in defence budget because it seems we have to.

I dunno , I thought he was great in Faulty Towers ….. Although I’d have Manuel as our PM over Albo

If only our transport , farming and half the population’s private transport ran on ethanol and not diesel you may almost have a soap box to stand on . Till then we are still locked at $3+ a litre until anyone cares .

Albo is genuinely lucky there is so much else going on around the world. Absolutely terrible leader.

I find him as inspiring as Shane Flanagan atm.

At least when Chris Minns talks its with authority and purpose.

Albo sounds like he is still going through puberty

You really think that bit's true, and not exaggeration?

Well, the diesel users are... thanks Donald!

 

[the phantom menace]

Wow, the conduct of the defence forces serving the current Israeli government, eh...? Link

its actually about 40% maybe slightly less the last few years with EVs growth. Either way , it’s about the same as unleaded petrol vehicles If you strip bikes out. Considering bikes are usually secondry vehicles . You do the maths. But yes, I’ll concede petrol is slightly dominant.
