This Noalition thought bubble looks doomed to failure, nothing of substance has been presented, and its most like not now or ever coming our way. Dutton will try all sorts of smoke and mirrors in an attempt to win over voters, since he is bereft of any decent policy. Most will realise thst this is nothing more than a political con job. After the next election Dutton will be no more, you can count on that. BTW who is next in the pecking order to lead the Noalition? Maybe its a job for Ditzy Susan, oh no, perish the thought.

The Greens were forged in a protest against damming the Franklin. Now they stake their future on environmental destruction orders of magnitude worse, a destruction that would be avoided completely with nuclear.

Hi Fester,

Other than the Dutton mob and their sycophants, no one with any credible understanding of the energy situation in Australia, not science, not capital, no one is backing this political thought bubble of the Noalitions. They had no energy policy, so what do they do, they invent an ill-conceived load of hogwash around nuclear power. The question is simple, give us the detail, and not the smoke and mirrors being peddled at the moment. The truth is, in power the Noalition would continue with a dead in the water fossil fuel policy. As for attacking the Greens, good on yah, go for it, you have little else of substance to offer.

Hi Paul,

If it's all about expert opinion and doing what works, then why didn't ANSTO get the job of estimating the cost of nuclear and why is the successful use of nuclear in the rest of the world being ignored? For the cost of Snowy 2.0 at least the same generating capacity of nuclear could be built here were the ban lifted. So instead of getting 2.2 gigawatts continuously for perhaps 95% of the time we are getting an environmental disaster that at best stores a week of 2.2 gigawatts supply. Why are the Greens in Finland and Labour in the UK strong advocates of nuclear power?

The Green movement is nothing more than a parasitic outfit not at all concerned about cleaning the environment. Australian Greens can not be put into the same barrel as others who actually have some integrity even though misguided. The Australian Greens are simply a bunch of no-hope maggots !
If they were as concerned as they're trying us to believe then why aren't they using integrity ?

"The Australian Greens are simply a bunch of no-hope maggots !" crude, rude and abusive, people have been kicked off this forum for using the word MAGGOT, but you have nothing to fear Indy, you're on the RIGHT side of the fence.
