Dear Belly and Paul,

Farewell to a much loved figure in Australia's politics.
Who will be greatly missed.

Robert James Lee Hawke
(Bob Hawke)
23rd Prime Minister of Australia.
Died at his home - 16th May 2019.
Age - 89.

Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine on him
May he Rest in Peace
Amen

A huge figure in anyone's politics.

Hasbeen, that study's conclusion is based on the fact that a large proportion of Germany's electricity comes from brown coal. It also used data from old electric car models, whereas new ones use less energy to manufacture the batteries.
See http://eufactcheck.eu/factcheck/mostly-false-electric-cars-generate-higher-emissions-than-diesel-cars/ for more details.

If Shorten's plan were for immediate large scale replacement of conventional cars with EVs, this objection would be valid as Australia's still getting a lot of its electricity from coal. But as that's not what he's planning, you can file it with the idiotic claims the Murdoch press has been making about EVs.

Vale Robert Lee Hawk never forgotten
Well polls show it is tight very tight first preferences show LNP about six points ahead
It will be both independents an targeted seats that see who wins
Still think whoever wins will call a double dissolution election within 18 months
That may well return the chook pen to the people

Paul,

"Issy, a real problem putting the Shooters and Hooters Party anywhere, the clowns failed to nominate candidates on time. Bob Ballsup is a real balls up. These melon heads are a joke!
... Issy where is all the dosh from the NRA?>

You forgot to mention the member's roof garden at taxpayer's expense, the member who underpaid his au pair, the members who tried to hide their dual citizenship and consequent rorting of the Australian people, the one who hurled abuse at Uni students and the one who got a political donation of many thousands of dollars and successfully claimed it as a personal gift; hang on, wasn't SF&F Party members but those from the Greens.

How could you forget?

Still pushing the worn-out lie about the US NRA secretly funding political parties in Australia; you've had plenty of opportunities to shew us when and where this happened but you can't find the answers.
Is this because you are incompetent or just spouting bull

Is Mise,

You state ...

"" you've had plenty of opportunities to shew..."

What's with "shew?"

Foxy,
According to the Apple dictionary:
shew
verb
old-fashioned spelling of show.
