Australia inflation down 2.4% yet Angus Taylor said to HIGH but 2023 inflation 5.6% so Angus Taylor in what world?? Trump world & Angus Taylor treasure HAHA
I think you've partly nailed the problem. "Dutton's message" vs "Labor's message".
Albanese needs to own a vision, a plan, something, anything. After 3 years I struggle to articulate what Albanese stands for - particularly since he's backed down on so many things (like gambling reform).
They seem petrified of the way parts of the media will turn a progressive and popular policy into a scare campaign (think changes to franking credits and negative gearing).
That was amazing to see the media and coalition get people who will never own an investment property vote against it.
Petrified is right, they need to grow a pair. The moment I knew Shorten was done was when he refused to call someone on $200K ‘rich’. Pretty hard to sell the case for economic reform when that’s your starting point.
Exactly. If you can't confidently say that someone on about 3 times the average wage is reasonably considered "rich", then you've lost any chance of addressing economic inequity
Does consultation actually work for the community? The community in Port Stephens and the local council opposes offshore wind farms, but you pushed them through anyway. Its just virtue signalling.
Do you mean some, meaning a small few, are in favour of offshore wind farms. It clearly says so, assuming the councillors voted against it based on what their rate payers wanted.

It's literally the policy punches down on the vulnerable, + NT has the death rates to prove it.
Peter Dutton is risking a massive change to our energy system, that will put a huge cost onto taxpayers without any plan and any thought for how communities will respond.
They’re going to waste a huge amount of your money on an ill thought out rushed plan, spending billions on a form of energy that we don’t need and will only push up your bills.
Can't we get an incentive for Solar and Battery install on our homes?
I do not want to beholden to some Foreign Entity or Private rich Oligarch, taking my money and our own Resources.
Yep, but for someone without anything it's kind of pointless getting the panels given energy providers are offering free electricity in the middle of the day to take all the excess solar off their hands. FIT are heading towards zero. Needs a whole rethink of where to spend the money.
How about you disclose how much unreliable renewables are costing us? How much to upkeep them? How much to replace broken items? How & where will you dispose of old equipment? What happens to old batteries? Answer those if you can to start with, I have plenty more!
What's unreliable about them? Old coal-fired power plants are going offline all over the place - bet you don't care about that, do you LNP staffer. And who is the "us" here? How many solar farms does the federal government own? Batteries are recyclable, as you know.
Okay
1. Solar+battery saving me around 56% off my power bills.
2. Maintenance - negligible. Hose down once a year.
3. Panels now come with 20 year warranty, battery with 10. So zero.
4. Old equipment recycling companies (for panels and batteries) now set up.
What dangerous chemicals are used to make solar panels? Can you even name one, without looking it up? How much do you actually know about the solar panel manufacturing process? Nothing at all, most likely.
1) imagine how much you’d be paying without subsidies.
2) yet labor promised thousands of jobs! Maybe to slow the progress of the panels destroying the earth underneath.
3) So? A good hailstorm will shorten that.
Fun fact. The suburb of Lucas Heights was split into two as the name Lucas Heights was affecting property values.
If a relatively small reactor can do that, imagine the drop in property values north-west of Brisbane, Gladstone, the Hunter Valley, Lithgow, Port Augusta and the Latrobe Valley.
Anyway, all of my questions to you were rhetorical - I'm muting you now. You should reconsider your life choices. Shilling for fossil fuel companies is... kinda sad.
While you are sipping your morning coffee or evening beer. Ask yourself how you missed the 2 and half years consultation about your nuclear reactor neighbour.
Labor could buy up all those sites & turn them into battery storage sites similar to South Australia's or sites for renewable activities, couldn't it? If only AUKUS hadn't sucked up every spare cent we had for American wars against "The Yellow Peril" & "Terrorists" what a country we could have had.
A reminder to those politely responding to the no bio, no posts, no followers hot takes in this thread - please don’t feed the troll bots, just block !
I'm no body language expert, but when Littletobeproudof is talking (both times) he blinks an awful lot. I believe it's an involuntary, neurological response to telling porkies.
Still waiting on $275 cheaper electricity. Mine is up 39% under Labor. Can't have solar panels if you are the forgotten worker who can't buy a home.
2 years of per capita recession means I'm worse off.
Stop lying to us.
Election time.
Dutton is useless. He couldn't even pull off a coup against Turnbull. He got outplayed. How the hell is he going to build seven nuclear reactors before the coal burners fizzle out.

too many union thugs and no one with any life experience in a workplace

What percentage of burned coal can be recycled?

No organisation will buy into buying the site and building the reactors. They will be done by the government, and that's 100% subsidised

How do solar panels "destroy the earth underneath"? (They don't, obviously.)
You think solar panels have never been hailed on? They've been around for decades. What do you think they're made from - toilet paper?

Also, pretending recycling isn't a thing doesn't make it not a thing.

Now they're just the mob standing in the way of those businesses & the australian people having cheaper power, faster.
Real shame.
