Stop being a fool and continue with coal fired power and stop the zero nonsense.

Might be better if we all turn on every electrical appliance we have and let them run all night. It seems nothing but a total collapse of the grid will wake people up to how ridiculous our charge to net zero is. Wind and solar CANNOT deliver base load power and never will.

So good to see things going so good under this goverment

AlboMP and his ministers would rather play blame politics than solving problems.

Use your plan you said you had.

Lol ya right

We’re in this mess because we’re weak as piss and listened to irrational teenagers climatehoax radicals extremeists auspol

Countries plagued by power blackouts have increased birth rates ?

It doesn’t matter who you vote for, we have been let down by the leadership of this country because logical, fact based decision making in economics has been replaced with nonsense and fear mongering. feelsbeforereals fossilfuelsrule nuclearcontender

What a fkd up country we have. An energy superpower on the brink of skyrocketing power bills & blackouts. And here we have PM who went to the election with this promise...

Bring on a DISMISSAL .. these Labor fools don't know how to manage a country ...

He's not in a position to warn anybody. Elmer Fudd.

Good time to have a home battery and solar.

The capitalists have gone on strike.

Do your job albo. Start implementing the pwan!!

Oooo scary you tell em albo that will fix it. I’m starting to see a plan, bully, blame others, fly around the world. Repeat

Albo’s just worried about all the lettuce in his fridge.

Welcome back labor government.......Never took them long to fuck things up.

'Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has warned power companies to prioritise its customers over profits ' Like prioritising baseload energy supply over virtue signaling with renewables 🤔 (what saddens me; they don't even see it)

Message to albo. Just do something about it. Instead of blaming the coalition and doing nothing.

Like a scene from team America. I will write a letter telling you how angry I am.

Can we please keep all the blackout’s in Zali Stegall’s electorate…that’s what them people voted for!

Yet somehow blame must be shifted elsewhere.

tell him hes dreaming CluelessAlbo

Why has this happened . Never before . Now new government and bang . Interesting. But why Must be something behind the scenes

Are people actually believing this bollox 🤦‍♀️ there’s some thick australians out there if they do .🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣 Get a grip folks you’re being had round the corner. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

A decade of inaction from the libs, followed by a global energy crisis has not helped us.

Maybe they should switch Vivid off?
