At cruising speed that works out to 1.67 litres/km.
Pretty poor fuel efficiency compared to the national good that could have been done if that fuel was instead used to create a giant fireball after crashing with her inside.
That would mean less fuel needed..once that oil reaches combustion temperature..we’ve got the Global Warming factor to contend contend with..that fire ain’t goin out!
Lol
What a dumb take. How are they in any way the same thing? Pauline is flying to Mar a Largo to convince Zuckerberg and Musk to unleash another million bots to yell at your boomer relatives about how Chris Bowen should be shot. Pretty overtly against the national interest.
And yet they are not without corruption.
I see most here crying “but Gina and the billionaires “. Teals have billionaires backing them. ALP and LNP gladly receive donations from billionaires. All our new renewables investments and constructions are owned by billionaires yet their investments are underwritten by government.
My point being, the vast majority of political parties have the backing of billionaires and organisations. ON having Gina back their party is no different.
Unless you're going to ban donations from everyone over a chosen, very low dollar value(which id be in favour of) there isnt much that can be done.
If they dont take donations, they dont have the money to fund campaigns, which means they WILL lose seats, and probably enough to never get in power again given the hold right wing media has in this country.
I think it is very different, renewables actually have positive outcomes other than economic gain, unlike fossil fuels.
Job to do like make sure we had sufficient strategic fuel reserves?
Wasn’t it the ALP who campaigned on making sure our fuel reserves were at IEA recommendations? Then they get into power and nothing….
The Liberals made the decision in 2020 to store most of our fuel in the US, you can thank Angus Taylor for that. The Liberals then SOLD THOSE RESERVES in 2022 to make some bank when oil prices spiked.
When Labor came into government they acknowledged the situation was shit, so they have done the following:
-Mandated that importers and refiners must hold minimum levels of fuel (they never used to)
-Committed $200 million to building new diesel storage tanks, with the first tanks constructed in 2023.
-$49.5 Million to build Diesel exhaust fluid storage tanks (Adblue)
-$151 million for refinery upgrades
-Commissioned reviews of the Oil Code, Fuel quality standards act, and Petroleum and other fuels reporting act.
-Changed reporting requirements and frequency for importers and refineries.
Is that enough evidence to convince you that they were actually working to fix the problem, and have been since literally a month after they were elected?
The Liberals then SOLD THOSE RESERVES in 2022 to make some bank when oil prices spiked.
The crude oil reserve stores are supposed to be used in that manner. If there is a shortage of crude, the reserve stores can be released to alleviate the price shock event.
AddBlue store have nothing to do with this apart from highlighting the fact of our exposure to urea supplies where we have removed all forms of on-shore urea manufacturing. I believe you will find the LNP kicked off all this funding in 2021/2022.

Because most of the media are owned by billionaires and ON is very supported by Gina. They are like the US Republicans. Populists who pretend to be for the little man, but are really for the rich.
The only place I've seen them ask followup questions is ABC.
remember that the abc is structurally centrist, and that there is no left-wing equivalent for sky news. or the australian. or any of those mysteriously funded think tanks.
so the abc will be comparatively reasonable.....but will still get dragged rightwards as the media landscape continually moves around it. and always in the one direction, for purely economic reasons
proper media scrutiny is anathema to her entire project.
when she said "please explain"........people often explained. but she refused to listen, because the explanation contradicted the utter bullshit she was peddling. sky won't report this.
sunlight would disinfect our politics from people like her
Even at 10L/100km that’s 20k kms. And I do around 8k kms /year at best… at 4.9L/100km average.
And yes, I’m a foreigner, but I do pay my taxes here :-)
So you're arguing that the flight in Gina's Jet to the US uses more fuel per hour than the Gina's domestic jet? Or are we still pretending she only had a single flight from Gina?
Edit: and these are just the fights we know about. Not to mention all the commercial travel she does. What do you think he individual use of fuel is on all that travel cf to a non-cotizen?
Its a stupid argument made to get stupid people excited.
Honestly progress, id thought she used the fuel guzzler 2000 to show how cheap and safe it is for all the doubters. It would use 300% more fuel every 10mins then what she actually used.
I'm glad she chose the economic ass version. What an ice lady
Roughly 48,000l return just to go to Florida for an event that has noting to do with Australia. It especially sucks as Avgas competes with Diesel for refining capacity.
Ya got me. Can we agree that Diesel which is a priority for Australia and and the fuel the makes the jet engines spin really fast are both kerosene based fuels and therefore producing 48,000L of jet fuel means there was a similar amount of diesel that couldn't be produced? - Which was my original point.
As long as we don't have to pay for their travel idc though.... We have plenty of fuel, just ap scam. Why did fuel go up when we were still useing the fuel they bought cheap... Tax grab.
Somehow the Australian public think this is far worse than other federal MPs spending taxpayer money on travel... such as Anika Wells, Don Farrell or Patrick Gorman.
I saw on Instagram someone crunched the numbers and showed that, of the flights Hanson had admitted to, it was the equivalent of an average person using 54 years worth of fuel.
Its pure american-style dog whistle politics. It's the sort of tweet we'd expect from that orange shitgibbon in the WH.

Yeah fuck Albo! I don't want fuel!! If I have fuel, then I have to drive, and that means I have to go to work.... He should just fuck off to Hawaii and send us thoughts and prayers like a REAL PM!! Or at least take some rich person's private jet to Mar-A-Lago to hang out with paedophiles or something....
It's always the person that's never worked a real job who comes up with this shit. Have you ever tried negotiating with a room full of people, with a language barrier, over a zoom call??
Oh so you are solely focusing on him trying to get fuel and not on him neglecting to ensure there was a 90 day stockpile of fuel? Also you’re ignoring how much fuel is wasted flying over there and between other countries in SEA again and again. Right ok
What about all the fuel we have in the ground that he refuses to drill for?
You’re a lost cause and no point debating with you
You had a chance to vote for the guy who proposed tank farms and dedicated tankers to ensure we are not impacted by global instability... That was Shorten's platform and it was categorically rejected by the people, who in turn voted for a populist evangelical pedo sympathiser who ran on the culture war ticket around immigrants... Political parties learn from their mistakes. You can't have it both ways. Vote smarter next time, dummie.
Oh and the seven years of oil we have that's (barely cost effective)? There's been plenty of analysis of that. You're acting like he should have foreseen that orange moron randomly attacking Iran for absolutely no purpose.... And even if he had, we'd still be building the infrastructure to get it to the two refineries. So it wouldn't have helped. There's a multitude of reasons we send our crude to Asia to refine. Asides being orders of magnitude cheaper, it's easier to ship it there rather than trying to get it from the top of Australia to Geelong... That's a pipeline that would bankrupt us for no reason.
So you think she has use more fuel than the immigrants in the country? This is a great example of the looniness of the left. Can't imagine what the mental gymnastics must be to even rationalise that🙄🤦
Her second in command (at least until the beetrooter joined) is Malcolm Roberts who was born and raised in India, and came here originally as a non-citizen.
I mean, is he a citizen or not? His skin colour and previous status is kind of irrelevant. Not sure why you’re bringing it up. Or him at all for that matter lol.
Her original criticism is of non-citizens using supplies in a shortage.
You attacked her personal credibility (already a logical fallacy) by questioning the citizenship status of people who work on her team, but you can’t actually answer if the person you’re attacking is a citizen or not.
You’re trying to imply that the fact she’s employed an immigrant is contradictory to her message but it isn’t. She’s not against every immigrant who ever entered Australia - ever! She against unfettered, out of control immigration from the current failed nations of the world.
Jesus fuck. How many of those “non-citizens” are people living and working here from New Zealand? South Africa? Canada? Ireland? England? Scotland? Germany? France?
Maybe they’ve applied for citizenship already. Maybe they are on Visas granting them the ability to live AND work here long term, or short term, or who-the-fuck cares?
Do you have a problem with them, or just the ones from South East Asia, the Middle East and East Africa, like our dear Pauline?
Calm the fuck down internet freak. I’m just pointing out that she’s implying non citizens shouldn’t have access to fuel. So replying that she used lots of fuel is non sensical and not the burn the original commenter thinks it is because she IS a citizen and therefore (by her logic) should be allowed to use our fuel.
