According to Josh Frydenberg, the reason for high energy prices is the regulatory framework

And who controls the regulatory framework?

You guessed it, this nation's politicians, with a "little help" from their friends in the fossil fuel industry?

Loose political canon, Tony abbott wants to have, a great big fight, with labor over coal! Quote unquote.

Labor, will sign off on a new market based energy policy if the government rules out any new coal fired power stations!

Think, it is not zombie legislation holding back the country and essential economic development! Just the divided rabble in charge, ruling our most prosperous (3 cents PKH or less) Super fuel, future out!

One way to resolve some of this, would be the disendorsement as a liberal candidate and Pretender, Tony Abbott? Who got the top job on the back of knifing his then leader, with a majority vote of just one! And hardly a ringing endorsement!

Of current note, his spirited advocation for a coal fired future, reminiscent of the candle manufacturing worker's revolt against electric light bulbs!

And yes we still have candles, which come in handy, when the lights go out! Thanks to inevitable brown outs, black outs, due to the increasing overloads on an antiquated, 19th century system! Unable to affordably cope with the loads inherent a climate changed world!

In a market controlled system, one just doesn't rule our best most affordable options out, and try and blame Zombie legislation for a predictable or "manufactured" result?

Sterling coal advocate, Tony Abbott, could reapply for election as the elected member? As the newest member of (climate change denialist) Cory Bernardi's conservatives? And a far more natural fit for someone that far right of centre!?

Cory understandably reluctant to add a (leaky) troublemaker/loose cannon to his potential senior representatives? Lest he become the newest cannon fodder in this recalcitrant, negativity personified, coal advocate's (power addicted?) political aspirations?

There are plenty of examples of précis writing among OLO posters.
As entertaining as your long handed compositions invariably are, on inspection, these are generally spiteful squalls. Sad really.
Anyway, cheer-up: Tony Abbott happily lives on regardless.

Well, now we know your long held opinion of me D.D? But little of note or worth as a positive contribution to the topic/subject matter?

Could it be, you're an economic illiterate as well? Or just a knocker or spoiler, like your recalcitrant mate?
