Destroying industry is one thing the LNP are experts on.

Remember when we had a car industry. Where is that now? Maybe we should check behind Tony Abbott’s sofa. 🤭

Modern slavery is electing a neoconservative government. Build nuclear at public expense, then flog it off to private enterprise mates.

Just like they drove the car industry away, the Liberals don’t believe in manufacturing.

The Liberal Party leader Gina Rinehart isn’t really into manufacturing and only committed to having Australia remain the worlds sandpit (as long as she owns all the sandpits)

Which major heavy industry plants have announced they will close down over the next 6 years?

Oh right, we’re usually the right wingers everywhere else. Are your liberals at least socially left?

waynedmoore.bsky.social•110 days ago

No they are right wing. Liberal with a capital L, not liberal.

All smoke and mirrors. Mafia Media provides both for the L-NP’s attempted distraction from the viability of renewables and their plan to maintain fossil fuel energy. Evil. #auspol

I'm sure we can safely to continue to import all of our 20th century level technology while surviving off of wool exports, what's the worst that can happen?

Gas not cheap either. Why do the retailers get away with ripping off consumers and wrecking the environment and the planet.

As our media don't seem capable of asking these questions Chris maybe you could give them a hand and ask the below - what made them change their mind?

Their "costings"are laughable. The assumptions they use point to either a complete lack of understanding of the energy system or economics, or - more likely - that they are just made up.

That the media isn't tearing Dutton to shreds over this is embarrassing.

This is one reason why they released their alleged costings on a Friday, less than two weeks before Christmas. They don't want this shonky policy subjected to any detailed analysis.
