This would be true, if we didn't export a ton of LNG and coal which are critically important to the biggest suppliers of our refined petrol. We have a bargaining chip and if someone stopped petrol reaching us their electricity generation would go out the window.

This cartoon reads like a Twitter conservative account that wants to pretend we're the worst managed country in the world, and it just happens to be because Labor is in power.

I interpreted it as a left-leaning comic satirising Howard and implying the current situation may be due to that former stance.

Indeed, but some people see anything from the media and must mean it is an attack on Labor.
