'She's managed to stay around for 30 years.'

What's she achieved?

Suckin' off the government teat and barely attending parliament?

'Senator Pauline Hanson’s parliamentary attendance record varies depending on the type of session, with data showing she participated in about 53% to 54% of Senate divisions (votes), but attended just 12% of Senate estimates hearings over the past decade'

Maybe the Fish and Chips shop needed attention. Surely the $340,000 pa would help the Aussie Battler

Hi Fester,

You say; "The CSIRO still acknowledges that new build coal is cheaper than renewables."

NOT TRUE,

Through its annual, authoritative GenCost reports—conducted jointly with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)—the CSIRO explicitly states that solar and wind are the cheapest options for new electricity generation in Australia, even when factoring in the cost of integration (storage and transmission).

Who are these "Koala Clubbing Grifters"? What YOU are not saying is Government outlays over $16 billion annually on fossil fuel subsidies. An industry that has been around for 200 years, why do they need such massive subsidies?

I'm starting to think that the CSIRO needs to be defunded along with the Universities, ABC, others

Hi Kudos Kid,

Anything that doesn't fit your worldview should be defunded and outlawed, according to YOU, universities, ABC, SBS now you are adding the CSIRO as they don't agree with your extreme right wings views. Classic Fascism, dispose of all that offend YOU. BTW; Who come under the heading of "others", I'm sure its a long list.

Amazing all these far right politicians have either been found guilty of fraud and other criminal offences, like Trump in America or are facing charges, Farage in the UK, Le Pen in France, Hanson in Australia, and several others. Must be a far right thing, just as the Nazi's seen fit to steal European art treasures.

Fester,

I agree with your comments. So do 51% of Australians who are no longer willing to support costly climate action.

Don't listen to Paul 1405's rants. He bears out Nick Cater's comment that online media allows “ad hominem to triumph over substance”.

“Cheap, personal attacks deliver a higher return on investment than serious policy analysis, since humans are naturally drawn to status conflicts, villains, heroes, and tribal competition”, Cater writes.

I disagree with him about slagging off ‘triumphing’ over rational thought and opinion. The slaggers have no more say than sensible people do. They have one vote only, like everyone else, and all we have to do is ignore them - unless you like to keep them foaming at the mouth, a sport some people enjoy.
