“What National Address?” Says Increasingly Smug And Carefree EV Owner

After making an ominous announcement at midday yesterday, the Prime Minister left the entire country waiting nervously for 7 hours before delivering a rare prime-time address to the Australian people.

Over roughly three minutes, the Prime Minister reassured the nation that his government had a plan to combat the current fuel crisis sparked by the war in the Middle East, before telling the nation "to go about your business and your life as normal" while also conserving fuel where they can.

Broadcast live across TV and radio, the Prime Minister's address hasn't really caused major concern nor panic, but it has left people asking why this information couldn't have been emailed to the them, or at least letterbox'd in a pamphlet.

One man who doesn't really need to care about any of this regardless is Betoota Grove sales executive Jezza Miles (42), who has a rather safe email job and drives an EV.

After years of being ridiculed by his tradie brothers and macho workmates for having a softcock car, the War in Iran has been providing Jezza with even more delicious opportunities to say 'I told you so' every day for the last month.

Today was no different, as he listened to the nervous chitter chatter around the Nespresso machine in the office kitchen.

"What are you all talking about?" he asked.

His colleagues explained they were discussing and analysing the unprecedented national address, deliver by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at 7pm last night.

"What National Address?" he responded, before chuckling.

"Oh... Haha. Yeah that wasn't for me."

"You guys gonna be sweet?"
