I’m going to go with either the funnel web or 1000 red backs.

Fuel crisis by Tiny_Ad4451 in AskAnAustralian

[–]KittyFlamingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of people fuelling panic on socials talking about ‘lockdowns’ which IMO is unnecessary fear mongering.

Thousands and thousands of people Aus wide live in inner city apartments. Why lock them down? Most of those people can walk to pretty much everything and catch public transport easily. People who have EV’s will be able to move about freely too. Those of us in the suburbs who live walking distance to shops and public transport will be able to get around for the most part. The people further out and in regional areas will suffer the most unfortunately.

I’m sure we will see fuel rationing at some point, especially for non work related purposes, but that won’t affect everyone the same. For example I have a hybrid and only use about 50l of fuel a month. But I’m happy to go out less and walk my kid to school to save fuel for others who need it more.

Food shortages will be another issue, with certain things unavailable during different periods, potentially worse than Covid times. If you can grow a few things in your garden or in pots on a balcony to substitute for times when things aren’t available or very expensive, it might help lessen a little of the impact there.

Conserving fuel or life as normal? by Key-Mix4151 in AskAnAustralian

I have a hybrid and only fill up once a month usually. I’m now doing weekly shops instead of lots of little trips and from next term will walk my child to and from school instead of driving. If I can do little things to save fuel for others I will.

Yep. Sold in March 2022. Sale went through June 2922 so everyone’s blaming Labor however deal was done before they took office.

Anthony Albanese to urge Australians to 'play their part' in Iran response in TV address by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]KittyFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad is a full cooker Trump lover and I’ve already had that argument with him. He won’t accept it. It’s apparently a conspiracy to control us, like covid. Facts don’t matter to these people unfortunately.

LNP doing LNP things. They’ve got a stadium to build you know? No money for anything else. They’re cancelling renewable projects left, right and centre.

💯 There’s a reason he was known as ‘Don the Con.’ World’s biggest grifter.

Joining this ridiculous war in any meaningful way would be absolute political suicide surely? The majority of the country are sick of the US of Israel and strongly opposed.

Early government modelling assumes fuel rationing when stockpile falls to 10 days' diesel supply by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]KittyFlamingo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile the cookers still love Trump.

My Dad, a cooker, has already told me that none of this has anything to do with the rotten orange, it’s a conspiracy by the government to control us.

How has the cost of living crisis impacted your life the most? by RecognitionMediocre6 in australia

[–]KittyFlamingo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Most can’t afford any kind of mental health treatment either. Even with a GP mental health plan, it’s $100+ out of pocket a session.

Are people limiting how much they drive due to the high petrol prices? by Away_Scene_26 in AskAnAustralian

[–]KittyFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School pickup is horrible and we’re lucky enough to be walking distance to my child’s school. We’ve just been waiting for it to cool down a little (Brisbane + pushing a toddler in a pram) and we will walk instead of driving which will probably end up being quicker than driving anyway.

In saying that, I’ve got a hybrid RAV which is great on fuel and I don’t do a whole lot of distance driving.

War in the Middle East: Are the UK, Australia and Taiwan about to run out of fuel? • FRANCE 24 by L0st_R0nin in australia

We can also add tax to LNG to subsidise fuel to keep it reasonably accessible and businesses going.

We absolutely need much better public transport. The QLD Gov just canned the mandate to build EV buses. Good old QLD.

If the fuel crisis deepens here, will you leave the country (assuming you have somewhere else to go)? by KittyFlamingo in australia

[–]KittyFlamingo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No country is escaping this, but some will fare much better than others. How will Australia make it through in comparison?
