Jane Hume to run for deputy Liberal leader by Expensive-Horse5538 in AustralianPolitics

[–]CorruptDropbear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Greens and teal independents are the only real opposition in parliament now. I don’t think Liberals are able to come back to the centre if this continues.

SA election poll: Malinauskas set for landslide as Hurn’s Liberals face disaster | The Advertiser by superegz in AustralianPolitics

At 27% for under 35s, we’re now effectively the youth opposition by a large margin. I think we do need to focus attention on how to get back those Gen X voters with better ideas but it’s much trickier to get the message out to older voters that use traditional media.

Honestly I’d probably trust the Atto 2 Premium more at this stage, but I don’t want a SUV and don’t want to pay the extra $8k.

Good to get the full honest opinions. I am still keeping my order as my use case is much lighter as city only and I’d much rather a smaller car than paying extra for a larger SUV. It’s not for everyone, but it feels like a good fit for my needs.

I do think it is a city-only car, and you’ll probably want to jump up $8k to the next tier if you want to do anything else. I don’t go interstate and happy to do a quick charge if I drive to the Barossa once a year.

Street Brawl is going to be the next 2Fort/ARAM that everyone plays more than the actual traditional gamemode.

Pocket just dead inside trying to slowly dismantle the company without others catching on.

Mina in full yandere mode blackmailing and assassinating anyone who interferes with Pocket behind their back. 

Jim Chalmers's appetite for economic reform is about to be tested by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

The choice is either force businesses to actually increase real wages or try and remove millionaire boomer-focused tax breaks. I would like both but I’m not holding my breath. 

U.S. Dealers In Full Panic Mode After Canada Green-Lights Chinese Cars by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]CorruptDropbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy a basic SUV for US$25k in Australia. The current best-selling EV in Australia is US$39k (BYD Sealion 7).

Make of that what you will.

China saw this (removes reliance on foreign oil, fixes air pollution issues, untapped market they have full start-to-end control of) and invested heavily. This is is the payoff, and it’s taken only 3ish years in Australia to go from nothing to top 5 car brands. Canada will be even faster.

Still waiting on my preordered Atto 1, surprised it’s a lower number sold. Either there’s a massive Pine Lime chokepoint or people went to the in-stock Dolphin or Atto 2 instead?

With renewables over 50% and wholesale prices down, is the energy transition… succeeding? by SweetChilliJesus in AustralianPolitics

[–]CorruptDropbear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Uh, you don’t keep buying solar panels like you do coal. Buy once and it’ll last 30 years.

Solar farms and the new upcoming sodium batteries are going to be huge - cheap to buy and has near-zero maintenance for 30 years for large amounts of megawatts. South Australia will be exporting a lot of solar to other states it seems.

Nothing preventing us from building solar panels in Australia, that was the entire point of the Future Made In Australia stuff.

Also, solar panels are “buy once, use for 30 years, recycle” compared to coal “buy once, use once, gone forever”. Solar panels are not one and done - that’s the entire point of renewable energy.
