This week a war started in the Middle East, a war that will pause the importation of 20% of Australia’s oil supplies. Labor has not increased our reserve oil supplies or prepared our nation for this shock since taking office four years ago. As the Maritime Union of Australia said this week, "Australia is an energy exporting nation. It is indefensible that we cannot guarantee our own fuel supply. Fuel sovereignty is a national responsibility. The time for half measures has passed; decisive action is required now." Our oil reserves are running low, primarily because of the idiotic energy policies pushed by Labor and the Greens, and too often implemented by the Liberals, which have shut down our domestic oil refining capabilities. The United States has been very clear for a long period of time that war with Iran was imminent. Never once did Labor pause and reflect on their policies or increase our strategic reserves of oil. Like a tone-deaf school prefect, Labor Minister Tanya Plibersek screeched at Barnaby Joyce on national TV this week that, and we quote, “this is a good reason to have electric vehicles”. Those outrageous comments drove Barnaby Joyce to despair. One Nation has long had a raft of policies that would increase our domestic supply of energy, including oil. We would protect our domestic market from shocks like this by increasing our strategic reserves and halving the tax on petrol, which Labor has raised eight times since taking office. Labor will seek to profit from this war, whereas One Nation would give back to taxpayers and battlers. On May 9 the electorate of Farrer will get a chance to vote on the policies that Labor, the Greens, the Teals and the Liberals have been using to damage Australia. This electoral test will primarily be about energy. The cost of fuel is a primary driver of inflation and increases the cost of everything. When all is said and done, Australia can walk one of two paths. The left wants energy poverty, no manufacturing, a destroyed rural sector and citizens living in tents. Or Australians can back a party prepared to rebuild our nation, cut red tape, stop government waste and lower taxes. Most of all we have a plan to make energy, both petrol and electricity, substantially cheaper. It’s that simple. The Farrer by-election is the choice between One Nation’s offer of hope and better living standards, or more of the radical left’s destruction of Australia. Because remember, the Teals and the Liberal Party vote with Anthony Albanese more often than they oppose him.
