      So do we get our own special migration “MATES” visa like Australia gives to Indian graduates only?

      Look, we’re not in a place to sneeze at whatever we can get. Bit rich for Taylor to imply Albo is on a nice relaxing adventure tour of SE Asia when his buddy literally f’d off to Hawaii while the country was on fire. Glad we have adults in charge during this crises, I’d hate to think how things would have looked with Dutton at the helm. We’d be doing much more than defensive action in the Middle East.

      This is what the LNP set Australia up for. Labor can’t be held to be faultless.
      People have been screaming out for yrs why were the refineries shut down.
      I know it takes a while to get things back to what they were. But plans should have been well underway for such a scenario as this. Both parties have let Australia and Australians down.

      Lmao, sanction Russian oil.

      Buy Russian oil from Malaysia at an inflated price.

      100 million litres, about a days worth of diesel usage in australia – if stored in 50metre Olympic swimming pools (50m long, 25m wide, 2m deep), would be 40x swimming pools worth. Per day. Kind of insane to think about how much that is.

      And China gets most its coal from Aus… Trump has blocked the Hormuz so China can’t get oil for ships to get coal from Aus so China will suffer. Wild times Trumps a G!

      Australia is also getting oil shipments from Mexico & Nigeria.

      You make diplomatic ties & never know when they will be needed.

      It’s good to have friendly neighbours. In times of need, the USA did not show up to help Australia. But would rather hurt us for their own economic and geopolitical gain

      There is coal mine just outside of Moranbah QLD that uses 550,000 litres a day for their dump trucks. Maybe not for much longer though.

      Notice he said “litres” and not barrels.

      Australia’s current oil consumption is approximately 1.087 million barrels per day. Since 100 million litres equals about 628,981 barrels, the nation burns through that entire volume in a little over half a day.
