Voters are looking for CHEAP energy leadership after the election. They are also concerned about the reliable supply of energy. They are not "deeply concerned" about climate change, either, as they gradually wake up to what the scaremongering is going to cost them.

Climate change policies will ruin many small businesses, hurt families and the vulnerable and threaten manufacturing and enterprise in this country, as has happened in Europe and the United Kingdom. The failure of the Coalition to use the recent election campaign to highlight and to fight against the insidious and destructive nature of green energy policies overseas is beyond shameful.

There is not a single fact, figure or observation that leads us to conclude that the world‘s climate is in any way ‘disturbed‘. It is variable, as it has always been, but rather less so now than during certain periods or geological eras. Modern methods are far from being able to accurately measure the planet‘s global temperature even today, so measurements made 50 or 100 years ago are even less reliable.

This "expensive coal" coal used to be cheap, our biggest advantage. Now, it's getting more expensive because of the massive subsidies to wind and solar, which would be totally useless without taxpayer subsidies, and are still unreliable no matter how much money is flung at the scam.

The 'extremes' of climate "across the nation" are no such thing. The climate is what it is, in Australia: always has been, always will be. These people must have been born yesterday.

From what I can see Victoria does not have an adequate replacement for brown coal. The offshore wind project lauded by Andrews will have days when is not producing. Can't use Bass gas to meet the deficit as local gas will have run out and LNG imports have been overruled.

Tasmania wants Vic to help pay for extra connections under Bass Strait but nothing is happening. As Victorian power shortages emerge I suspect an early casualty will be Portland smelter. By then Victoria's green vision may be tarnished.

The Labor government has again ruled out nuclear energy, even though polls show public approval. These wack-jobs can hardly expect their climate scam to be taken seriously when they won’t solve the supposed problem once and for all with nuclear power.

It isn't the climate so much as the CO2 content of the atmosphere that should be of most concern. The lowered pH of the Antarctic ocean is disrupting the reproduction of the micro fauna which sustain the krill and this will decimate the food chain in the whole of the southern ocean before long.

Gay marriage has been usurped by a the Republic as priority.

Nothing else will enter the picture other than the above irrelevance.

Parliamentary time will be wasted for the next three years on this topic, while the calamity this country is witnessing on more levels than climate change, will be effectively sidelined.

My prediction.
