    Geoff, there is a university in the UK working on a "spray on" solar panel. Pretty sure solar panels are mostly silicon which can be recycled fairly easily.

    Geoff, I have seen since the advent of the internet ideas evolve much faster as its getting easier to shift information around. One of the things announced this year: clear solar panels. Just imagine, you can stack solar panels over a mirror!

    Predicting the future is impossible, who would have thought the internet would have worked in 1990?

    Coal is end of life technology, renewables are continuing to get more productive. There are too many countries [mostly western Europe] that rely on imported energy, they'll keep pumping money into renewables until they are cheaper than fossil fuels.

    the sad thing is the Chinese end up burning out coal and the ash falls on the fields, which ends up in the food chain within months of it falling. The Chinese gov will end up buying Australian farms to feed their population. http://qz.com/86416/how-half-of-all-rice-in-a-chinese-province-was-poisoned-by-pollution/

    my brother made the mistake of buying a 72 z9, dropped a valve. $4k later cut his losses and sold it.

    I like Malcolm too, he polled worse than Gillard after utegate, he's the best person to lead the LNP at the moment.
  9. fly_tornado
    Malcolm is despised by the senate branch of the LNP, he hasn't rolled out a single FTTN site yet.
  10. fly_tornado
    I don't think Malcolm has any idea where the money is coming from either nor does he have any costings for the FTTN.

    The problem for the LNP is that the ALP didn't buy the copper infrastructure that telstra own only the conduits. To roll out the FTTN network they have to buy the copper of Telstra

    From what I've read the LNP aren't funding anything in the NBN that isn't already a work in progress, so if there weren't shovels in the ground Q3 last year its not being built. My guess is they will go to the next election looking to sell the NBN off to the Foxtel/Telstra monopoly.

    I heard the Nationals have a broadband policy and they will mail it too you when it gets back from the printers

    My area was due to get NBN in Oct 13 now the LNP have bumped it too Feb 15 as far as I can tell the LNP are defunding the NBN. If you live in an area that has NBN you're very lucky

    The US labour model where 1/2 the positions in an enterprise are classified as "entry level" and paid a pittance. The LNP are committed to cutting penalties, so expect plenty more jobs to pay minimum wages.

    A better tax base would be on financial transactions, the rich pay there fair share.

    Ask the Australian Democrats how the GST worked out for them. Can't see the minor parties in the senate backing Abbott's government. I remember the GST came in and we went from spending $500 a year at the accountants to over $3000 and spent a huge amount of time rewriting software systems to make us tax collectors
  24. fly_tornado
    who introduced the GST, that takes an vast amount of time every month? Those bloody socialist?
  25. fly_tornado
    how can the pay be great if LNP just got in? don't you mean the pay is sh!t and you are sick of getting screwed by the unions?
