L see this mornings SMH for a review of his car wreck interview on QxA
We no longer make cars here, so will drive what others make
Power? we are told by conservatives we need to build more coal fired power stations
Build them!
Coal nuclear wind solar just build them
We will you know, as we grow we must
We will meet the market and have some type of power to fill any hole

Belly,

Tony Jones commandeered too many questions towards his own agenda of superficial gotchas, IMO, when the truth is more nuanced. Do you beat your wife stuff. Audience hostility was palpable, with several questions barely disguised diatribe. The Coalition is up against it, that's certain.

It's Shorten's job to explain how his target towards low baseload interacts with rising electricity demand for his targeted EV penetration. But he won't have to do that, as mere hand-waving appears quite acceptable from an opposition full of promises and lies.

On hand-waving, and off topic, I'm still trying to work out how abolition of negative-gearing creates revenue over the long-term, or even the short-term given grand-fathering of the policy for current investors.

As a self-funded retiree, at least until Labor taxes my backside off and I too qualify for the pension I will fund others with more than my GST, I feel subject to class hatred imbued by Shorten into our youth (as epitomised by some callow comments/questions to raptuous applause on Q&A).

I was a working man and supported Labor from Hawke through to Gillard paying my way with taxes, local state and federal, but now feel like a pariah. The young must grow older experiencing the pain of socialism (a la Venezuela) to truly understand the path we appear to be embarking upon with modern Labor/Greens.

Aside from the imputation credit double taxation scandal the rule that
really gets up my nose even though it no longer applies to me is the
"industry Super Funds" are exempt from the imputation credit double
taxation. Other super funds are not exempt !

What kick back did Bill Shortan get for that from the unions ?

Hasbeen and others; I have remembered a news item about charging
stations of a particular brand that were all closed.
It appears that there was a problem with the cooling liquid that is
fed through the cable connection to the car.
That must be how they keep the weight of the cable manageable.

Oh dear another complication. It appears that the remaining Australian
refineries cannot justify converting for Labour's fuel emission
standards. If they close how will Labour force the Singapore and Korean
refineries to produce to Labour's standards ?

Most of our petrol is imported from those refineries.
Might be time to start looking at electric cars--grin !
