The GovCorp PM of Australia Addressing the Nation.
This address was not about fuel. This was a conditioning exercise.
YOUR LIFE IS BEING CHANGED FOREVER AND YOU WILL COMPLY
“Australian Prime Minister Address 1/04/2026
Three minutes and ten seconds. That's how long it took for the Prime Minister of Australia to tell you to change your life, reduce your movement, and sacrifice your freedom for "the greater good." Sound familiar? It should. You've heard this speech before. Last time it was a virus. This time it's fuel. The script hasn't changed. Only the prop has.
Let's go through it line by line because every sentence in this address was engineered.
"Go about your business and your life as normal. Enjoy your Easter." That's Stage 1. Reassurance. The verbal sedative. The same tone they used in February 2020 when they told you COVID was low risk and there was no need to change your behaviour. Two months later they locked you in your house.
"Don't take more fuel than you need. Just fill up like you normally would." That's the seed of rationing planted as a friendly suggestion. When a Prime Minister tells you how much fuel to buy, you are no longer living in a free market. You are being managed. Today it's a suggestion. Tomorrow it's a limit. The week after it's an app on your phone tracking your purchases. You've seen this before. "Just wear the mask." "Just get the jab." "Just show your papers." Always "just."
"If you can switch to catching the train or bus or tram to work, do so." There it is. Stage 3. Voluntary behaviour change. The same stage they used before the lockdowns. "If you can work from home, do so." Remember that? Remember how "if you can" became "you will"? Remember how "voluntary" became a fine, then an arrest, then rubber bullets on the steps of the Shrine of Remembrance?
"That builds our reserves and saves fuel for people who have no choice but to drive. Farmers and miners and tradies." He's already sorting you into categories. Essential and non-essential. The very same division that destroyed small businesses, crushed livelihoods, and decided that your job, your income, your right to earn a living was less important than someone else's. Who decides what's essential? He does. Not you. Never you.
"If the global situation gets worse and our fuel supplies are seriously disrupted over the long term, we can coordinate the next steps together." Read that again slowly. "Coordinate the next steps." That is the language of control dressed in the clothing of cooperation. "Together" is the word every authoritarian government uses right before it acts unilaterally. "We're all in this together." You heard that one for two straight years while they fined you for sitting on a park bench and arrested you for not wearing a mask on a beach.
Now here's what he didn't say.
He didn't say why Australia, a nation sitting on some of the largest natural energy reserves on the planet, is dependent on imported fuel. He didn't say why we shut down our domestic refining capacity and made ourselves vulnerable to exactly this situation. He didn't say why successive governments sold off strategic assets and let our fuel sovereignty disappear. He didn't say why we have no strategic petroleum reserve worth speaking of when the United States, Japan, and most of Europe maintain reserves measured in months. He didn't announce a single plan to increase domestic fuel production. Not one.
Because he doesn't want to solve the problem. A solved problem doesn't require emergency powers. A solved problem doesn't give you the authority to tell 26 million people how to live, how to travel, and how much fuel they're allowed to buy.
He cut fuel excise in half for three months. That's the lolly they give the child before the needle. In three months, when the cut expires and the war is still raging and fuel is still expensive, you'll already be conditioned. You'll already be catching the bus. You'll already be driving less. You'll already be accepting the new normal.
Still waking up or getting ready to stand up for your citizen rights and freedoms
And then the "voluntary" measures will quietly become policy, just like "two weeks to flatten the curve" quietly became two years of your life stolen.
This is the same government that:
• Locked millions of Australians in their homes for months
• Fired rubber bullets at unarmed protesters
• Arrested a pregnant woman in her pyjamas for a Facebook post
• Closed state borders and trapped citizens in their own country
• Forced people to choose between an experimental injection and their livelihood
• Locked entire housing towers of the poorest people in Melbourne inside with armed guards and no notice
• Told you church wasn't essential but bottle shops were
• Let BLM protests proceed while fining families for visiting their grandparents
• Signed secret contracts with pharmaceutical companies and refused to release the terms
• Oversaw a hotel quarantine system so incompetent it spread the very virus it was supposed to contain
And not one of them has been held accountable. Not one has apologised. Not one has been charged.
These are the people now asking you to trust them with your fuel supply. To voluntarily change your behaviour. To think of others. To comply for the greater good.
The greater good. The two most dangerous words in the English language. Every atrocity in human history was committed in the name of the greater good. Every right you lost during COVID was taken for the greater good. Every freedom you surrendered was demanded for the greater good.
This address was not about fuel. This was a conditioning exercise. They are measuring your compliance threshold. They are testing whether you've forgotten. They are betting on your short memory and your willingness to obey.
Prove them wrong.
Do not forget what they did. Do not trust the people who brutalised you to protect you. Do not hand over one more freedom to a government that has never returned the last ones it took.
They're running the same play. Don't fall for it twice.”

Australian Prime Minister Address 1/04/2026
They had the playbook. They hid it. Now they're running it.
The Australian government wrote an 82-page plan for exactly this scenario. A conflict in the Middle East. The Strait of Hormuz disrupted. Fuel supplies cut. They called it the National Liquid Fuel Emergency Response Plan. They wrote it in 2019.
They never told you it existed.
When former Senator Rex Patrick lodged a Freedom of Information request to see it, the government spent over $150,000 of taxpayer money fighting to keep it secret. Not $150,000 building reserves. Not $150,000 securing refineries. Not $150,000 on a single litre of diesel. $150,000 to make sure you never read what they already knew.
It took more than a year and a direct order from the Administrative Review Tribunal to force the document into public hands.
Here is what it says.
The plan lays out a staged escalation. Stage one: reassure the public, keep things calm. Stage two: warn of difficult times, encourage voluntary behaviour changes, introduce the language of "essential" and "non-essential." Stage three: rationing. $40 per day fuel caps. Odd and even number plate restrictions. Government controlled distribution to approved users only.
Last night, the Prime Minister stood in front of the country and delivered stage two almost word for word. "Enjoy your Easter." "Economic shocks will be with us for months." "Catch the train." "Don't take more fuel than you need."
He read from a script the government wrote six years ago and spent $150,000 making sure you'd never see.
Their own 2019 wargame used a Middle East conflict disrupting Hormuz as the scenario. It concluded that Australia would need 21 days to formally declare a liquid fuel emergency. At the time, we held roughly 25 days of diesel on Australian soil. Four days between normal life and government-controlled rationing.
That was 2019. Since then, nothing has improved. Everything has gotten worse.
In 2002, Australia held over 300 days of fuel reserves. Today, roughly 25. We had eight oil refineries. Now we have two. Here's how they disappeared.
Westernport, Victoria. BP. Closed 1985 under Bob Hawke. Labor.
Port Stanvac, South Australia. ExxonMobil. Mothballed 2003 under John Howard. Liberal. Permanently closed 2009 under Kevin Rudd. Labor.
Clyde, New South Wales. Shell. Closed 2013 under Julia Gillard. Labor.
Kurnell, New South Wales. Caltex. Closed 2014 under Tony Abbott. Liberal.
Bulwer Island, Queensland. BP. Closed 2015 under Tony Abbott. Liberal.
Altona, Victoria. ExxonMobil. Stopped refining 2020 under Scott Morrison. Liberal.
Three under Labor. Three under the Coalition. Not one of them replaced. Not one of them rebuilt. The only two left standing are Lytton in Brisbane and Geelong in Victoria. Two refineries for an entire continent.
Energy Minister Chris Bowen told Parliament we had 34 days of diesel. He was counting fuel on ships floating in our economic zone. Not fuel on the ground. Not fuel in your car. Not fuel on a farmer's property. Fuel on ships that haven't docked yet.
The government promised a strategic fleet to carry our own fuel. A taskforce was formed. A report was delivered. Nothing was built. Our merchant fleet has collapsed from around 100 Australian flagged vessels to barely 10. We are a nation surrounded by ocean that cannot carry its own fuel to its own ports.
Australia has never, not once, met its International Energy Agency obligation to hold 90 days of reserves. When the IEA coordinated a worldwide emergency release, Australia couldn't contribute. We didn't have enough to share.
While you're being told to catch the bus, farmers in regional Western Australia are already being rationed. Fuel restrictions are hitting towns like Kulin and Corrigin right now. The National Farmers' Federation has warned that if fuel and fertiliser constraints continue, perishable food prices will rise 40 to 50 percent. Your fruit. Your vegetables. Your milk. Your meat.
Supermarkets hold roughly one week of dry goods. One week of chilled and frozen. Pharmacies, about a week. Hospitals, three days. Petrol stations, three days.
Three days.
The government that wrote the plan, hid the plan, spent your money to keep you from reading the plan, and then did nothing to prevent the scenario the plan described, is now standing in front of you reading from it.
They knew. They always knew. And they chose to protect the secret instead of protecting you.
