Hi there Graham...

Mate; you've put a lot of work and thought into this exhaustive blueprint or template for our new Prime Minister to follow. I'm not the brightest star in the sky, but even I can see the merit of most of what you've suggested herein.

However did you say, we should scrap the Paris accord altogether or otherwise modify it somewhat? Personally, the Paris accord should be shunned by all free thinking conservative Politicians, as it is I'm sure, by all clear thinking conservative voters?

Two points if I may; I don't know whether our new PM is sufficiently adroit enough to take the good advice, and then act upon that advice, you've kindly given him?

The other, and more concerning, is whether our current PM is not just a mere cardboard cut-out of Malcolm TURNBULL'S ideology, and Mr TURNBULL'S hitherto socialist agenda? In my opinion some of the decisions made when Mr TURNBULL was in the chair, will have far reaching (deleterious) ramifications, right down to the next Federal Election.

That Election in my own opinion, is the Labour Party's for the taking. And then we're given the omniscient presence of, Mr Wm. SHORTIN as our new PM - almost like a horror movie, starring the inimitable Mr SHORTIN as the main character and villain at the same time.

I read that people in Brisbane had expressed their views
on the shambles that led to Parliament being shut down.
They hoped that Dutton would not become PM and later they
expressed relief that he didn't get up. No other views were
heard. So it wasn't just voters in the Southern States who
saw Dutton as - untrustworthy, lacking empathy and a poor
representative of our country.

However, an amazing thing is beginning to happen. From all
reports it seem that Scott Morrison is having a positive
impact on most people - at least in my neighbourhood.
The sitting in Parliament today should prove interesting and
should give us a glimpse of the direction in which the party
is heading. However so far the moves that Morrison is making
appear to be getting positive results. We can only trust that
this will continue.

Good ideas, but Morrison has already shown that he he is not much chop by refusing to drop Paris and reduce immigration. On the latter he is still waffling about the 'sorts' of immigrants, and sending them to places where there is no work, and none needed. He is also more interested in what he calls 'temporary' migrants - students, who are just cash cows for universities and potential back door migrants: illegal ones if they can hide themselves in the depths of our overcrowded cities.

The same old same old for Canberra and Australia.

Can agree with most of this Graham. Even so, the Morrison government, a train wreck going somewhere to happen?

And needs first and foremost to secure its majority, with an important Wentworth by-election.

Judging on the Wagga Wagga results. Needs to gets its act together and the rebels quarantined until the main game is concluded.

Electricity prices have to come down even if that means bucking some powerful vested interest and or introducing the spectre of sovereign risk. And coal advocates going ballistic.

The average battler couldn't give two hoots if ching chong or bossy britches incorporated is disadvantaged or loses their shirts. That's the risk every investor faces.

Libs need to grab this game by the short and curlies and make some policy promises that Labor is forced to match.

The very first being investment in, zero emissions, nuclear technology! And potential power prices a low as 2 cents per Kwh retail. DOABLE!

And with that achievable reality, the possibility of also drought proofing this wide brown land. Only needing those power prices to make it our guaranteed reality! No question!

Time to cast aside all the baggage/partnerships/dinosaurs and policies bound to both guarantee defeat and a very long period in the political wilderness.

Nuclear power almost guaranteed to drive a wedge between Labor and the greens? Or make them the brown nosing subservient junior party for a ramshackle socialistic party drawn straight from the pages of "Alice in Wonderland''?

And chained to some of the most self-defeating policies ever dreamed up in cloud cuckoo land.

Religious freedom can be guaranteed by a bill of irrevocable rights. So as to avoid being seen to cherry-pick rights.

Or a right to effectively discriminate dressed up as a right the voting public has already voted against in absolute droves.

If we want to get the 25% of young voters out there and registering to vote just to kill the coalition, allow a right to discriminate dressed up as some kind of foregone, religious freedom.

Don't want a repeat of the VOLUNTARY postal-survey, or do we?

We could make a case for rooftop solar coupled to household battery backup as the most affordable solution for domestic power supply.

Debatable!

If the sun does or doesn't shine, the drought does or doesn't break or subsequent bone dry dams stop generating electricity. Just coal or nuclear power.

If it's coal then we are truly at the mercy of some very powerful unions. Ditto most nuclear power? Given supply lines enrichment and fabrication processes and the sheer paucity of scientific knowledge in our parliaments or modernity in our alleged scientific or medical communities?

Still practising in the 30-50's? And virtually becalmed there but for some migrant success stories, that make "us" look like "we"punch above our weight?

The worst examples, quarantined from modernity, by a degree of intellectual arrogance needing to be seen to be believed? e.g., was moved to tears and honour bound to get in touch with ovarian cancer Australia, when a cancer patient, Press Club speaker, revealed she had relapsed, and as a stage four victim, was going home to die.

I saw as my duty to contact the aforementioned organisation. Only to be advised the speaker, whose husband was a DOCTOR. Wasnt interested in alternative or complementary medicine. And to this day in 2018, remain oblivious to the success trails by conventional western medicine, in Europe, 2006. As day clinic treatment with bismuth 213.

Understandable, given this miracle cure we've had for over half a century would destroy their organisation and fundraising abilities, not to mention some well-paid plum administrative positions?

And so reminiscent of the buried head or Sergeant Schulz syndrome that infects all our parliaments as to not be funny.

When it comes to cost-effective modernity?
What we don't need is steam age bean counters, preventing it on some of the most idiotic, time warp, ideological grounds!

Need to get up to speed with modern science to have a snowflakes chance in upcoming elections. Particularly when the younger voters and a few older one are far better educated and informed!

Dear Graham,

Some of this is good, some okay, and some showing the obvious ideological fingerprints of the Australian Institute for Progress from whence it came.

“The AIP promotes the classic rights – freedom of expression, freedom of association, property rights, freedom of worship, and freedom of markets.”

Leaving aside why freedom of markets is a classic right I am assuming it is devotion to the notion which saw no mention of gas within your list.

The USA, one of the most market friendly countries in the world saw fit for decades to reserve its domestic gas production for domestic use by banning exports.

As much gas is used by industry as by its power generators. It meant huge competitive advantages accrued to the country.

Here we allowed huge mainly overseas consortia to plunder our reserves and send the vast bulk of them to other countries forcing us to contemplate endangering our food production and water sources by opening the place up to the frackers.

Australia this year will become the world's largest producer of natural gas yet we are not seeing the benefits of lowered power prices. Labour at least attempts to address this through policy but nothing from the AIP.

I'm wondering why?
