@saltyreigns Opportunity Party is skyrocketing up the polls, WP will no longer be king maker, he will be totally irrelevant as he should be and will retire.
... And now that you understand that solar and batteries is the best solution for most of our new power generation, you will be encouraging everyone to do it.. Right?? Of course you'll lose all that fossil fuel lobby money but you don't mind do you?
Weโre putting solar panels on up to 500 schools to help lower power bills.
On average, that will be $8,000 a year saved for schools, so they can put that money back into teaching our kids brilliantly.
@matt_horncastle quoting FDR!!! Congratulations, you have outgrown your childish views of how the world works. To tackle inequality, FDR's 1935 "Wealth Tax" pushed the top income tax rate to 79% (& later 94% during WWII). FDR curbed corporate excess by creating the SEC to police Wall Street, passing Glass-Steagall to regulate banking, & empowering unions.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
@matt_horncastle You've finally seen the light. To tackle inequality, his 1935 "Wealth Tax" pushed the top income tax rate to 79% (& later 94% during WWII). FDR curbed corporate excess by creating the SEC to police Wall Street, passing Glass-Steagall to regulate banking, & empowering unions.
@JosephMooneyMP Large scale solar/battery installations would plummet wholesale rates by 50%, but that would kill national's funding from the fossil fuel industry. We will have the "Opportunity" to change that in November.
A perfect example of the need for minimum education requirement for our politicians. It's criminal that the million children under 16, the 500,000 retirees, University students, mother's with school age children and every person with a disability aren't in full time employment. If you can understand basic statistics you certainly shouldn't be in parliament. Resign and make room for someone who can do the job.

@kaiviti_cam Any idiot can promise a bright future but their past performance of borrowing at double the rate of labour shows they have no credibility.
