Australia's energy shock is worse than thought (Leithvo)

This interview with Ben Fordham on Radio 2GB discusses the latest developments in the Middle East energy shock, the Albanese government's damage control, and what it means for Australia.



Iran's near term goal is to drive oil prices to 200 dollars per barrel. Fuel, gas and electricity prices are set to skyrocket in Australia. Our politicians could have done a number of things to protect the country from such shocks, like maintaining oil refineries, and implementing policies to ensure cheap gas, which can be enacted overnight, but have done nothing. Don't support the major political parties. If you do support them expect to experience disaster after disaster. They're globalist (corporatist) sell outs.
