This fucking govt has got to go.
- Didn't they campaign on this? I thought they had said a long time ago they would do this.
  People voted for it.
  
  😨
- @Bort @hanrahan , it's like a never ending horror story atm getting worse by the day.
  And the public is on a forced subscription.
  
  They seem to be intent on making everything worse for everybody except their cronies.
We all know they only believe it will alleviate their personal short term cash flow.
Lies, they are telling lies so their rich friends can continue to get even filthier rich and not ha e to bear any of the costs of the damage they are doing to the world at large. Prices will not go down.
See how butter and lamb are so cheap because we make so much here? It will be just like that.
Welcome back to the 1950's; smoking and oil! That is where we want to be.
I think the bit that annoys me the most is the flip-flop politics.
Why bother with any long term policies or projects if in 2 election terms it’s going to be attacked by ideology, called a failure and reversed at considerable expense.
Going all in on solar & battery discounts would be so much better than this stupid gas/oil thing, with the added benefit of disaster resiliency.
