Talk is cheap. Climate policies are not. : Comments

By Tristan Prasser, published 21/5/2019

The utopian renewable future promised by Labor and the Greens is based on more fiction than fact, underpinned by faux moralism and will come with an undetermined price tag for little environmental benefit.

Countries with climate change targets. I suppose we'll need to wait 25 years to see if they work.

It is all very well setting targets. Neither the Libs, Labor or Greens have got a clue as to what will actually be needed to meet any target that they might pull out of a hat.
Meanwhile I am keeping my 2KVA generator fueled up for those hot summer days when the grid goes down.
David.

My mother is dying, although she is not what we would consider old. She's been in decline for years but has not told us in the hope that she'd recover through "thoughts and prayers" and perhaps never need to sadden us with the news. On Sunday, my brother and I find out over lunch, and rush her to the emergency admissions desk at the nearest hospital. After the usual preliminary tests and a chat with a sympathetic doctor, we find out that she can be taken to the operating theatre tomorrow morning to try and remove the malignant growths inside her, or we can buy some painkillers from the pharmacy, go home and take two tablets after meals. The painkillers cost $17.40 but the doctor can't put a cost on the operation. She won't know the extent of the damage until she operates with other experts at her side, but the minimum cost will be in the tens of thousands of dollars. My brother - his name's Tristan too - is worried about the cost of the operation, and feels more comfortable with the pharmaceutical option. I disagree and feel we should act now, even if it means having to sell our home or take up extra part-time jobs.
