## Australian Labor in league with the Big Oil

It’s not supposed to be surprising at all. Yet, why am I taken aback when confronted with the fact that our *dear leader* is parroting #FossilFuelIndustry talking points? Talking points that are btw unadulterated **BS** in the *real* economy, you know, the one we’re all sufferring under… the one with massive investments pouring in due to one of the other ponzi schemes (#datacentres and #GenAISlop ).

> “Anthony Albanese was the first leader to back the US-Israeli war on Iran, despite the hardship it has brought to Australian households struggling to make ends meet. In April, amid popular demand for a tax on gas companies, the prime minister backed the fossil fuel giants and said it was “the worst possible time to jeopardise these partnerships, or the investment that underpins them”.

> The remarks echoed those aired by the chief executive of the oil and gas lobby, the Australian Energy Producers, who, three days prior to Albanese’s comments, said: “It shouldn’t need to be said that this would be the worst possible time to impose an investment-destroying tax.”

I don’t know why, perhaps because I still cling to the idea that politicians know, deep in their heart, that they are supposed to look after the people they *serve*. No, not them… *Us*.
