Credlin | 23 March

Peter Credlin delivers a blistering critique of the Albanese government's handling of Australia's worsening fuel crisis, highlighting the absence of Energy Minister Chris Bowen from a critical National Cabinet meeting on fuel security. Credlin argues that Bowen's prioritization of a climate change conference over domestic energy emergencies reveals a government out of touch with national realities, with fuel shortages now affecting hundreds of service stations across NSW, QLD, and Victoria. He links this failure to broader ideological priorities, accusing Labor of green wishful thinking that has undermined energy independence and left Australia vulnerable. The episode also examines the seismic political shift in South Australia, where a fractured conservative vote enabled a Labor landslide and propelled One Nation to unprecedented electoral success. Credlin contends that One Nation's rise reflects voter disillusionment with both major parties, particularly the Liberals' abandonment of the centre-right, and warns that without a genuine ideological renewal, the Liberal Party risks extinction.
