Labor says this budget is “for workers”

The numbers tell a different story.

Since mid-2022, wages have gone up.

But prices went up faster.

And personal income tax is now doing far more heavy lifting than it did in the debt-free Howard/Costello years.

@flexibledragnet Are other countries with advanced economies and completely isolated grids removing dispatchable generation while relying heavily on weather dependent energy?

82% renewables by 2030?

Please name these countries.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@flexibledragnet Yeah, good one.

Except every other country in the world completely disagrees.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@Frank_J_Grant @JohnAndersonAC It's 'saved' you money because you have invested private capital in to power generation and potentially storage assets with huge government subsidies on both.

Meanwhile retail power prices have been driven higher and higher by the transition, making the savings seem greater.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@sceptic47 @JohnAndersonAC Lol

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@TheKouk Every single one of these figures is too high, except for COVID.

Hence housing demand outpacing supply for decades.

Next.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@flexibledragnet Haha.

Imagine if you had actually asked the question you are insinuating that you did.

Is your memory going or are you just a dishonest piece of shit?

P.S. just a couple of times hahahaha

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@flexibledragnet I don't sign up for political tribal nonsense.

I most definitely haven't decided where my vote is going for a federal election in two years time.

You assume too much and know too little.

Keep hiding behind a power source that works 25% of the time. Just stock up on candles.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@flexibledragnet There are multiple reasons why we need fuel based synchronous generation capacity. Cost is but one.

You're hiding behind some false notion that Australia, world champion of mining, is unable to do something it has literally been doing for 100 years.

This is fucking dumb.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@flexibledragnet So we've moved the goalposts from domestic captive mines to mines that are now economical or with enough proven resource to support a new power station?

Do you have any idea how much coal we have in this country?

Fuck you are dumb.

@GodzillaKillz @CMO931719 @Osinttechnical This deal returns the state of things to exactly where they were before the war started, except the US has given huge financial concessions and leverage up.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@GodzillaKillz @CMO931719 @Osinttechnical Iran has been sanctioned since the Islamic regime took power in the late 70's.

Trump is an idiot and this deal is fucking atrocious.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@girl_wild95331 @joegarra61 They actually removed these because it was too expensive.

Then we had to hire translators for every language on the planet.

Our country is run by fucking idiots.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@flexibledragnet Myuna, Chain Valley/Mannering, Callide, Kogan Creek, Meandu, Commodore, Premier, Griffin/Ewington

Here's 8, just in Australia.

Where are the goalposts moving to next?

Are you ready to actually learn something old timer?

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@stegwort23 @SWatMR11 @Ben_Davison1 You almost got it right.

Comprehension failure.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@stegwort23 @SWatMR11 @Ben_Davison1 No, I have not.

The result of the review will not increase the price of Gary's medication.

The action taken after the review is reviewed will determine the outcome.

Nobody knows what that will be.

The original post is nonsense.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@DrewPavlou @karlstefanovic Renewable energy.

How much public money has been spent in its entirety across all support vehicles and policy driven revenue streams, since inception.

I have asked my MP and Chris Bowen for full itemised figures on this and received no answer to date.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@stegwort23 @SWatMR11 @Ben_Davison1 In your reality, are questions and statements the same thing?

Learn to read.

Reviewing government spending practices regularly should be common practice. It's sensible.

Getting upset over the proposal of this is ridiculous.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@flexibledragnet One with no access to a port.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@BambrickDaz @flexibledragnet The $22/MWh is with the government subsidy added.

[Tolly 🇦🇺 @TolsonKiefer]

@BambrickDaz @flexibledragnet Sorry but this is quite literally a mine selling into a long term contract at a price far below $45/MWh (it's about $22/MWh). Which is far below the export price of around $63/MWh.

These calculations apply to new USC coal.
