Boys in the garage been following this gas shortage thing on the east coast, quite obvious with the push for renewables to achieve baseload gas was going to have a period of renewed demand, probably for decades longer than people realise. Anyway here we are, one of the largest gas exporters in the world importing gas to satisfy local demand at international price points, surely if the place was any more stupid we would all be in constant physical pain.
The gropers do protection of local markets well, but when a nation has to look to WA for intelligence the place must be struggling, the sandgropers historically not looked upon as being a national IQ hotspot.
The legalities of this goes back decades at federal Government level, it’s got ‘old white guys’ written all over it, the new multicultural crew at the ABC are lobbying hard for a general round up of OWGs to be taken out the back for a mercy cull, this gas thing if anything adds a certain necessary immediacy to their argument.
When the legend Paul Kelly penned this classic all those decades ago he probably had no idea he was writing a song which would be a perfect fit for a national anthem in 2024.
Post delivered in humour and living on the East Coast overwhelming sadness, self awareness can be a brutal arbitrator.
