@DavrosyDavros@S_GerardRennick Actually, batteries set the price for over 20% of electricity generated but only provide around 3% of that electricity. All generator's get paid the price set by the highest bidder. Which are the battery operators. Go figure.
@S_GerardRennick Where will the oil come from? How many years of proven oil reserves does Australia have? If the oil is imported, the problem isn't mitigated.
@MRobertsQLD I saw a comparison of sole trader accountants. Same qualifications, same job. Working for themselves. The men were earning more on average than women by more than the gender pay gap. You can't tell me that's men's fault.
@firstfusilier The govt and police/security services are obviously in a reactive rather than proactive stance thus giving room for these types of attacks to occur. FWIW, I don't think that team would have made any difference given what I said above.
@AndrewBGreene It seems to me that the govt and security/police are on a reactionary rather than a proactive footing. Can Australia wait for multiple years for a royal commission to hand down findings? That is if it's terms of reference aren't narrowed to ineffectiveness.
@firstfusilier A royal commission would be next to useless. How many years until findings are handed down? Terms of reference narrowed down to avoid inconvenient findings. The country needed leadership and decisiveness. It got silence and deflection as the news cycle passed.
@senatorbabet Depends on which internet pundit you listen to. Some are saying it has as much to do with stopping China from getting a place to put intermediate range missiles that could threaten the Panama canal and reach the US mainland.
@Peter_Fitz You only need to read the last paragraph of that article. Looks like the Telegraph buried the important bits in the last paragraph. It would likely be a totally different story if they used winter power prices.
@Anthony_Klan Foreign dark money spend on renewables lobbying exceeded the combined election budgets of both the Labor party and coalition during the last federal election. Foreign interests are gonna put Australia in the dark.
@JaneCaro For all your criticisms of Isreal, you have never criticized Hamas when they publicly executed Palestinians on the streets. Your antisemitism is on display.
