Labor banned live sheep exports to win inner-city votes + now entire regional communities are paying the price. It’s a warning for every other rural industry. We must keep up the fight. Thank you to Shan Goodwin + Farm Online for telling this story. Published 9 January 2026.

Fuel for farmers & food. My brain is searching for other pithy lines linking Dallas, diesel & a girl named Debbie, but you can't say fucked on ABC TV News breakfast.

I'm on ABC TV News Breakfast 5:15 in the morning Friday, talking about fuel. Here's your challenge: can you give me a maximum 5 word cracking line, good enough to make it into the evening news? #askX

I’d like to resume X’ing about grazing management this year- now as an inexperienced beef farmer in SW WA. Trying to get across the gap between the theory and the practice in this new business environment. Hope you’ll join me for the 26 season. Here’s the littlies atm.

Spoke to the Mine manager of local gold mine yesterday , mid-large operation. Have fuel contracts in place but still very concerned about supply in the medium term. If they can’t get it, I’ve got no hope. It’ll be a mess for resource and Ag unless it’s sorted asap.

The Australian diesel crisis here is real - ignore whatever government spin you hear or read to the contrary. Only more supply to rural and regional areas will fix the problem

What is unbelievably dumb is the blind acceptance the ETrucks can do the same job as other trucks, that there are enough being built to do it, that the cost of ownership compares and there is the infrastructure to support them. It's all rose coloured glasses, pie in the sky stuff.
This trucks lfp battery costs probably $60k and saves $1200 a day Will charge 2000-3000 times Unbelievably dumb to still have brand new diesel trucks on the market

The fuel companies are not allowed to price gouge, but the government is allowed to continue gouging you with the fuel excise. I hate this retard @AlboMP

Kinglake - devastated in the Black Saturday bushfires - is going to lose its only bank thanks to @bendigobank, which has left more towns bankless since 2020 that all four big banks put together. Tell us again @JEChalmers why you haven't included them in your moratorium? #auspol

The Prime Minister was just asked in Question Time if the government would cut fuel excise tax, noting that in Southwestern Sydney it's now $3.15 a litre. @AlboMP said that unspecified tax cuts, Medicare discounts and wiping student debt would help. So that would be a no.
