@lesstenny I'm frankly offended that you think a Dutton win was even a possibility. It was only ever going to be me to lead my flock to victory. If only their poor blind souls had seen the light.

[Scott W Morrison** (lay preacher) @ScottyResponds]

@AlboMP ...ever so slightly.

[Scott W Morrison** (lay preacher) @ScottyResponds]

@ArthurMacwaters Ummm. What's the r-squared on that?

[Scott W Morrison** (lay preacher) @ScottyResponds]

Nobody understands Victorian politics like me, and if it's one I know, it's that Moisey will bring the moderate centre flocking back to the Liberal Party. Great vote winner team.

The waxing gibbous is the best of all the gibbouses quite frankly. I will fight you over this. I don't care.

It's too early to call the #savotes results. There are a lot of postal votes to come in, and there will be countless recounts that we'll be able to count on. Let's just stay cool for now...

This is a very long post. We'll probably reach net zero by the time you finish it.

[Jacinta Nampijinpa @JNampijinpa]

The National Party, as we know, has officially dumped Net Zero.

It’s the right thing to do – in the interest of our nation and all Australians.

Now the Liberal Party needs to dump Net Zero too.

And there are five good reasons to do exactly that.

1. There’s the economic argument.

Reaching Net Zero could cost a staggering $7 to $9 trillion dollars by 2060 – as estimated by independent experts.

Net Zero will devastate our economy and impoverish Australians – including our children and grandchildren.

Businesses are already closing, and manufacturers are already moving offshore, because Labor’s Net Zero agenda is causing energy prices to skyrocket across the economy.

Energy is the economy.

2. There’s the energy argument.

Labor’s overbuild of renewables to reach Net Zero – and enforcement of draconian emission reduction policies – are only going to cause power bills to continue to rise.

The government is replacing cheap ‘always-on’ power with expensive ‘sometimes-on’ power.

The Centre for Independent Studies has found that once a nation’s electricity grid exceeds 20-30 per cent of weather-dependent energy, the renewables energy ‘honeymoon period’ ends, and electricity prices increase substantially.

Australia’s grid is about 33 per cent wind and solar. And Chris Bowen is pushing for Australia’s grid to be 82 per cent renewables by 2030.

Whether it is re-wiring the nation with thousands of kilometres of transmission lines – or subsidising intermittent renewables to make renewables look competitive – you are paying, and will continue to pay the price for Labor’s reckless energy policies.

Chris Bowen is engaging in one of the biggest con jobs ever attempted on the Australian people.

3. There’s the environment argument.

Net Zero is seeing Labor carpet our landscape and coastline with industrial-scale solar and wind farms.

Just have a look at Rainforest Reserves Australia’s Renewable Energy Map to see the massive footprint of Labor’s reckless renewables rollout (see image attached).

Aside from it adversely affecting regional and coastal communities – especially our farmers, fishers and tourism workers – the Net Zero and renewables-only agenda is not even remotely environmentally friendly.

4. There’s the emissions argument.

China, the United States, India and Russia are the top emitting countries and responsible for about 60 per cent of global emissions.

Their emissions are increasing – and there’s zero chance they will meet any Net Zero commitments.

Australia contributes just over 1 per cent of global emissions.

If Australia spared no expense to reach Net Zero – and committed economic suicide in the process – nothing we do will alter global temperatures one little bit.

Nationals leader, David Littleproud, suggested a better way would be to pin our emissions targets to the OECD average – about half the pace of Labor’s current economy killing trajectory.

That seems much more sensible to me.

5. There’s the liberty argument.

Net Zero is an ideology that affects every part of your life.

It’s about the government dictating how you and your family should live, what you should drive and how fast you can drive, and what you should eat.

It’s about telling businesses how to operate.

It’s about restricting what our farmers can produce and what our manufacturers can make.

Net Zero is about reducing our freedom.

Labor and the Greens say those of us who are against Net Zero are out of touch – but they’re the ones who are out of touch.

They refuse to change course when energy costs are skyrocketing and hurting people across the country.

Senior Australians are having to choose between eating and heating.

Mums and dads are having to cut back on groceries because high energy costs haven’t just caused their power bills to rise but the prices of groceries too – as it costs more to grow food and to refrigerate goods.

Small business owners, farmers, and manufacturers have seen their energy bills go up and up – and to stay afloat, they have no choice but to pass those costs on.

As long as Net Zero is on the books, living standards will keep going backwards and Aussie families will be poorer.

That’s why I’m glad the Nationals have dumped Net Zero.

And it’s beyond time for the Liberal Party to join them.

It’s time to end the Net Zero nonsense.

Maybe if they'd slowed down on the burgers and fries. Just sayin'. Personally I've never been a fan of Maccas. Especially that crap at Engadine.

[ClimateJohn @John_On_Climate]

@RobMcCathie You’ve got plenty of trees in your backyard. Why don’t you cut them down and burn them for energy.

Just because we have uranium doesn’t mean we need to dig it up and use it in the most expensive form of power generation.

We also have plenty of sun and wind. Don’t be an idiot.

To my remaining erstwhile colleagues: Before you elect Angus Taylor as your new leader, you might want to go over his track record with a fine-toothed comb. Just sayin'

I mean you went for Pete and I before him. What does that tell you?

Congratulations Australia. Nice work

It's clear that the vote was rigged again. My internal exit polling showed LNP galloping home in a landslide. And galloping in a landslide, whether home or anywhere else, takes some skill.

The whole Medicare argument is nonsense. Think of the money this country would save if we abolished Medicare rebates and shut public hospitals.

If you can't afford private hospitals and consultants, don't get sick. Simple.
