I'm not a scientist either but know about it and I have no skin in the game. pretty poor really.
-
Like I said, pretty major part of what they are trying to sell.
-
It is pretty important if the transition is a major policy of your party! If its your job to sell those tyres, its pretty important to have know what the main contributers to the process are. CO2 is the one we hear about all the time in the climate debate.

I did use to believe we needed the big business to supply jobs for Australia, but now the politicians have been bought by big business. Too many politicians of all sides go and work for the businesses that belong to portfolios they use to have. Out and out conflict of interest but none of them are going to change it. Does make our political system a con. Oops wrong thread.
-
Still shows how much are politicians are just winging it. Pretty basic question really.
-
Often thought that the "how to vote" cards should carry a message that to vote for you first preference, you don't have to follow this card or something similar- and big enough so you can read it.

It will free us from industry, we don't even make intermittent generators here.

Kyle forgot to add UK to the list. Although they have had no end of trouble with Hinkley, They are going to build more. New Zealand so have a some wind but it is only an addon to their hydro and geothermal. Australia has not much Hydro (about 8%) and no real accessible geo thermal France id exporting 15GW of electricty over the border at the moment including to Germany. see electricitymaps where you can see NZ as well. It shows who is doing the best. Hint, its not Germany https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/FR/72h/hourly

95% yes, Australia's contribution to it is that small it is not worth sending the country broke going hell for leather at reducing our part. Lets do it sustainably. Our rules for industry enviromental compliance is also a lot more stringent then other country's we trade with as well. The best thing Australia can do for climate change is export uranium!
-
All the countrys we are trading against use coal. Personally I haven't got a problem with it as long as we head to not using it in an orderly fashion. (like China and India- India has jut started a fast reactor in the last couple of days)One of the things that is sending our remaining industry overseas is the price and perceived unreliability of our weather dependent intermittent electricity generation.

Would Canavan really be any worse than any of the others. Looks like he would get some industry going, eg making fertiliser. Phosphate Hill may be going down the tube. We are trying to go green but buying are fertiliser from country that is putting industry first. Jobs for our kids. It would be good if we did the same, we have all the ingredients and don't have to transport it on dirty bunker oil burning ships, so it is greener than what we are doing now.

Definately agree that we need politician that have done other stuff except politics
-
Not when the conversation is started. They should reply, even if it is from their office, which is what I was expecting during the whole episode.
-
Being invited and already having an email has definitely started a relationship, and remembering these people also "work" for us!
-
As far as this government and past ones, My kids still can't afford a house, we pay for expensive electricity unless we have enough money for solar panels and have a house to put them on. Our smelting is closing down so we export raw commodities and we have no industry's. So governments in recent times are doing a bad job including the current one! I could go on.
-
I did include the premiers office and the relevant minister in one of the "any update on this? "emails. Nothing. It was not out of the blue. I was contacted by this particular MP as the ALP representative for the seat I am in. Asked a few questions, received some answers and replied with some follow up questions. So it wasn't out of the blue and is pretty disapointing. I suppose I do live out of the metro area!
-
Nice, still would have been nice to get an answer from the politicians if you make the effort to contact them.
-
He is if you live in the city and like you like sport sports. He seems to have the gift of the gab. Still no word on how much the failed h2 plant cost. I suppose thats what you get when you are in a safer non labour seat. Use to be safe non labour, but not so sure now.)
-
Yes it is a complicated situation. How far do you actually want to go back. Its been going a lot longer than that.
-
Forestry company parks electric truck despite spike in diesel prices sounds like it was a conversion.
-
apples and oranges, 1 person goes and kills a heap of people is a lot different to a state sponsored mass killing, especially if they have been poking the bear for many years. It is not nearly the same thing!
-
mmmm!
-
Maybe, maybe not. I have never been in this position, but I feel it was about more than just this one incident.
-
So its OK if they come into a country, kill 1400? civilians as well as other incursions over the last few years. Is Israel just supposed to talk about and contact their local Employee assistance program to help them get over it?
