Dutton's decision to cling to Net Zero is a tragedy for Australia. While the US and other countries escaping socialism are aware of the fraud, Australians will be stuck with the ever-increasing price of electricity, the ensuing loss of growth and the few industries we have left.

Economist Alan Moran describes as “econocide” the subsidising of unreliable wind and solar energy.

A return to coal is the best bet. Nuclear would not provide the low costs that previously offered us competitive advantages. Nuclear is OK for countries without our vast coal reserves, and do not engage in aluminium and similar smelting. That's not Australia.

This really bad decision by Dutton most likely comes from the party wets: the same types who foiled Abbott and eventually got rid of him. These same types probably don't care if they win the election. They aren't very bright, and they get very good money for doing not much, and with no responsibility in the safety of opposition.

It is unfortunate that our system does not allow the people to elect their leaders directly. Leaders who could actually insist that their parties accept what the people want, not what hacks and factions in the parties want.

Net Zero, the climate change scam, is about money; and investors are pulling out.

Governments will be the last to pull out of subsidising the scam, because of ideology. Dutton is showing us that the Liberal Party's ideology on this matter is exactly the same as the Labor Party's and the Greens - just with nuclear instead of unreliables.

The uniparty’s Net Zero scam will inevitably wreck the economy, as the permanent public sector and the MSM fails to report the very worrying extent of Australia's deindustrialisation. It's only the markets that are now exposing the fraudulent promises of Net Zero.

Australia's future is hostage to the cost of electricity. Causing prices to rise, then giving us back our own money to cover up the crisis is utter madness.

While Australian Prime Ministers, the creatures of their party power brokers, are constrained by the sludge of the Canberra swamp – Trump has the necessary independence to enforce the democratic will of the people on the unwilling political class

Paul1405,
Would you be able to justify yourself ?

Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last
week.
Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

75 % renewables in the grid. Blackouts galore. Anyone that talks like that is frightened of the dark. Albos 85% renewables is going to be here
long before the predicted date. It takes labor to pull off large scale projects. Grizzle guts Abbott killed off NBN and look what we have now.
Dutton's nukes will never be accomplished. And if they ever finish one it will supply an enormous 6 % of output. Solar is targeted where supply is needed. Duttons plan will never get off the ground mainly due to no permanent water supply, + a 50 km evacuation zone around the plant.

Indy,

We could ask you what did you do last week to justify your taxpayer funded welfare? AND, the week before that, AND, the week before that, in fact what have you contributed in the past 30 years? NOTHING!

Paul1405,
Constantly embarrassing yourself is becoming embarrassing for OLO !
