Qantas?

There is a difference when things change. They were asked several times during the election and they said flat out NO. Not much has changed since the election. Housing has been an issue for a long time now. As far as the Howard and Costello thing, Like I said they are all the same and we should get and expect better.

T least he took his gst to an election

She lied/ misled the people- no better than the rest of them. Albo, gillard, turnball, morrison all the same

Now it has no services at all.

Its a shame it has gone that way. The small town I grew up in had a general store, butcher, baker, pub, 2 mechanics at one stage. A doctors surgery where a doctor came from the larger town once a week. Use to catch a train to Adelaide about 745 and be back at 830 at night. Didn't realise it at the time but it was a great place to grow up.

If you want to change something that was asked about 50 times or what ever during the election campaign, call an election! or wait till the next one like Howard did with the GST. Its not rocket science. Chances are they would win it easily anyway. The classic one is the old there will be no carbon tax in a government I lead, 2 weeks later? Like I said they are a bunch of liars, some of them are smart enough not to get caught.

I'm not saying they are the worst government around, but are you saying that it is OK because there are worse ones around? I also think that the recent lies within the budget would have been talked about before the election. You are right that they may only be in for one term but they know that before hand and one reason for the generous pension schemes although its not as relevant as it use to be. When the pension was implemented people use to have one job their whole working life, not so anymore. I hold people in office to a high standard, but that standard is not reached as often as it should be. They do work in a media saturated society now so you would think they would be more honest as they should now chances are they are going to get caught. I believe they don't care because I think they are smart enough to realise this. The way some (all) of them act in question time when they get asked a question they don't answer makes a mockery of the whole system!

Are you guys saying we should just accept that politicians are always going to lie for our benefit? Why worry about having election campaigns then. Do we just pick those whose lies matter least.

They are all puppets, left included. Some party's hide it better then others and some are more transparent, not necessarily the ones that say they will be. Most are straight out liars as we have recently seen!

Germany electricity for the last week with approx. 170,000MWs of installed wind and solar.

And Pauline was upfront and disclosed it because they new people would make a big thing out of it. It seems the major partys have been quiet on it, worried some people might do some digging.

LPG has to have a process. natural gas is pretty well ready to use

How much gifting from corporations do the other parties get. easy to find. Pretty hypocritical for people to carry on about this. Albo just uses the governments money to get around(fair enough). Sarah Hansen Youngs husband uses the governments money to get to work. What was the largest single donation to Labor? The largest single donation was A$1,500,000.00 from Pratt Holdings Pty Ltd on May 22, 2022.

natural gas comes out the ground as is, LPG is seperated at a refinery.

Maybe we should put some of the global warming budget into it. Trains are efficient when you work out the tonnes of freight/ litre of fuel.

What we forget is that although China is building heaps of intermittent generation, it is also building a lot of synchronous generation as well.(includes traditional hydro) It will include enough capacity to keep the grid stable. China aren't silly. Really like this comment. By all means decarbonise but don't make Australia a basket case to do it. Do it in a planned, sustainable way. It will make no difference to global warming. The other countries with low emissions should do the same thing.

What has that got to do with the price of bread? Had a house hold pump break down on the week end, That has no highly loaded bearings OR rapidly reversing loads etc in an electric Motor. Reciprocating motors are just trying to fling themselves apart and have Large Pressures and thermal stresses. and critical Lubrication issues" either but it still broke down. Welcome to the world of mechanical apparatus!

I know you wont like the source but here is another view.https://www.cis.org.au/commentary/video/the-csiro-report-that-proves-coal-is-cheaper-than-renewables-zoe-hilton/ Why has every country that has gone the intermittent generation got the most expensive power? Germany, Denmark, UK. Which countrys successfully are transition to net 0 with intermittent energy have cheaper power. Real world situations arent supporting the modelling. The modelling can be made to look like anything the government want it to be. The ISP has nothing to do with cheapest energy, just cheapest way of doing government policy. CSIRO give 30 years of life for a nuclear plant which is just plain wrong!.

Bled 100s of diesels, not that hard, bit messy though. Electric cars will have problems as well, the manufacturers will see to that. They make a lot of their money on spare parts. They still have motors, bearings, gearboxes, power electronic components

Again people are looking at just the cost of one part of it like the whole intermittent thing. eg intermittent energy is the cheapest form of electricity which it is until you start adding the storage, extra transmission etc. etc.. As we get more electric vehicles the charging stations are going to get bigger. If you have say 10 350kW chargers at a station that's a maximum demand of 3.5 MWs. The wind farm I worked at had 3MW turbines, we had 3 phases coming down an 80m tower of 70mm2 copper at 33kV (Vestas have their transformers in the nacelle.). 9 wtgs(27MW) in a string had 500mm2 aluminium going back to the Sub. At lower voltages you need bigger cables. The current distribution network will have trouble coping with the extra load. You could put battery's at the charging station to buffer this a bit or reduce the output of the charger , but there goes your cheaper than a petrol station and fast charging. Still like electric cars by the way. It is the way of the future but like net 0 it is not going to be as easy or cheap as it first appears.

Saw a Tesla being towed on youtube and it was actually charging the battery. Not sure if it was a real thing though.

Run a diesel out of fuel and you only need to wait for someone to come by in a diesel or have some diesel. Run out of power in an electric car and you have to wait for someone to come by with a generator who has time to sit there while your car gets enough charge to get to the next charger. Reckon I know what i would rather. Most diesels aren't that bad to bleed if you know what you are doing. Messy though.

It needs to be economic to recycle the blades. if it doesn't make money it will not happen. This is not just limited to wind turbine blades either. i can't see the 2 (3 if you include the old wtg) sets of wtg blades at Coober Pedy getting done. Probably be buried in the desert somewhere. If they are not cut up on site, transport to a recycling depot would be very expensive. Especially with the size of modern blades.

Gina may support ON a lot but they are all owned by someone, to the extent they get jobs after politics in fields they use to oversee. ON is not special, just gets a bit more attention because the major partys are feeling a bit threatened.
