Alan and Mise and a few of our pollies and greenies. I suggest you read this article. https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/non-power-nuclear-applications/transport/nuclear-powered-ships.aspx.

I see no mention of Thorium. A few of these reactors might offer short term solutions to our coming power shortages.

The aim should be quality of life for all things living from plant through to animal species (putting humans as animal species second), as humans were not here first. I would argue humans are nothing more than a pest and have devestated the planet. Putting that aside, the discussion should be about quality of jobs, not quantity, realising that a stay at home parent is an important role to respect and any economic development must be sustainable in the long term in terms of zero emissions and climate change. There also needs to be a discussion about population numbers and developing wholistic policies there. Some have recently referred to current policies restricting overseas entry into Australia and COVID-19 (and problems coming from that, which I think are questionable) but conveniently forget previous issues that were in place with an open slather approach re immigration and a pro economic growth at any cost approach.

For anyone still gullible enough to believe Canavan's rant, I suggest you watch the current episode of Landline. It's broadcast at 10am (Monday) on ABC TV, or you can find it on iView.

Thirty years ago Landline was a great useful program.

Today, green communist propaganda.

No, I won't watch the latest episode of landline, Aiden. Why would I want to watch the propaganda from the woke ABC? Human Induced Climate Change is advocated by the same sorts of morons who advocate Critical Race Theory, gender neutral pronouns, and the preposterous claim that there are 178 genders. If you was a smart person would start to smell a rat straight away. But your one brain cell can't manage that.

A bunch of self aggrandizing climate scientists took what they knew was a perfectly natural event that they knew was right on schedule, to elevate their science into the same level of importance as Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and others, and present their obscure science as the saviours of the world. They are supported by kooky vegans, neo-Marxists, the left wing fake news press, Chinese manufacturers, Gaia worshipping Luddites, public service bureaucrats who hanker for a government "Of the public service, By the public service, and For the public service", UN bureaucrats who think they can solve world poverty by transferring the wealth of the western world to the always dysfunctional third world, and our new caste of socialite socialists.

Which demographic is yours?

In 2020, more than 36,000 US scientists signed a petition to Congress saying that they thought HIGW was malarky. So no matter what you and your comrades say, the science is definitely not settled. And if your single brain cell was working, you might ask yourself how is it that alarmist scientists get deluged with research money while sceptic scientists get sacked?

Since you don't read history, I will post up President Eisenhower's warning.

"We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex." " ... we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger, that public policy itself could become captive of a scientific-technological elite."

VK3Auu,
I would suggest that you eliminate this ‘s’ and leave the ‘http’, that way the automatic link comes up and people might click on it.
It’s a thing peculiar to OLO and needs to be guarded against.
