Dear Shadow Minister,
Your head must be spinning. Your own government is talking about quarantining gas supplies for domestic use, something you lambasted me about when I raised it. It also now acknowledges the energy market needs fixing. But still they are trotting out Josh to spin a very discredited line and for once he got properly called out on it. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-16/josh-frydenberg-jay-weatherill-verbal-biff/8359056 Loved it. The SA state government is looking to have its own gas fired generation capacity free from a disfunctional market which have allowed the perversities of unfettered capitalism make profits more important than people. It once again shows why utilities should be in public hands. But as it is I would much rather see an Australian firm providing battery backup for SA and it looks like their might be a strong contender. Perhaps it is time to burn your treasured copy of Atlas Shrugged and start championing for Australians rather than multinationals and their profits.

You can see why South Australia & Tasmania are failed states. They think like this clown Steely.
All this rubbish, when a god simple coal fired power station would fix it all, at much lower cost. How long do you think it will be before South Oz comes wanting taxpayer funds to pay for their pie in the sky power solution? Posted by Hasbeen, Thursday, 16 March 2017 1:05:24 PM

"How long do you think it will be before South Oz comes wanting taxpayer funds to pay for their pie in the sky power solution?"
As far as has been revealed, so far, the CEFC is coughing up for the batteries. I say give SA it's share of CEFC funds by population and let it keep going with its grand failed experiment (maybe even switching off off the interconnector when they're done!?) SA did not play the team game yet blames the team for its failure. Power generation in public hands turns into another way of taxing the public and a union feather-bed.

SR,
Clearly economics and memory are not your strong points. There already exists a highly efficient gas power plant in SA in Pelican point, that closed because the Labor government purchased wind and solar power over gas power to the point that they lost money. Instead of pissing $ms against the wall the pinhead premiere of SA could guarantee PP a gas supply and market. Then SA could have a cheaper reliable supply free from a dysfunctional labor government. PS. you head must be spinning now that the federal government has indicated no intention of implementing a disruptive policy such as quarantining supply.

Dear Shadow Minister,
You wrote; “your head must be spinning now that the federal government has indicated no intention of implementing a disruptive policy such as quarantining supply.” My goodness what an extraordinary thing confirmation bias is. This is from the Guardian; “Turnbull warned gas chiefs the commonwealth would not be afraid to use its powers to control exports if the domestic gas supply commitment was not fulfilled. “All of the powers that we have under the constitution, we reserve to be able to be used as and when the national interest demands it,” Turnbull said. “We have a responsibility – which we do not shirk from – to ensure that there is adequate gas supplies for the Australian domestic market.” What part of export control doesn't involve ' quarantining supply'? P.S. What do you think of Josh's performance today? Your lot are just reading water at the moment. The attack on renewables was ideologically driven which prevented getting cracking on real solutions and you guys got found out. Your lot are supposed to be leading the nation but it is like they are still in opposition. Time is up. Posted by SteeleRedux, Thursday, 16 March 2017 4:48:40 PM
