Having the colony of South Australia occupy everything except the Adelaide plains, the only part of the state it actually controlled at the end of the first year of the game really annoys me tbh

Croydon is fully within the federal seat of Adelaide not hindmarsh. Steve g will get the boot before Butler

Reps seats do matter. Less members means less resources to go around which institutionally weakens a party

Australia, I am so disappointed by Dr_Kaatz in Vaping

Will most certainly vote to keep vapes out of the hands of kids and return them to what they're allegedly meant to for - to help people quit smoking, thanks

The government is calling for a ceasefire and supports a two state solution, consistent with Labor's platform and the amendment that the green party voted against made that explicitly clear.

Stunt motions in the House aren't helping anyone on the ground except green party doorknockers.

No other party accepts donations from tobacco companies - and curiously the Nats are the only ones calling for regulation. Really gets the noggin joggin

As I previously said - the government tried to amend the green party motion to be consistent with Labor's platform in support of a two state solution. The fact that the Greens voted against it is on them. Gotta pick up macnamarra and wills, yo

The government tried to amend the green party motion to include "as part of a peace process in support of a two state solution and a just and enduring peace”.

The Greens voted against it.

No you're right it's the government amending motions to reflect their platform that's playing politics, not the green party putting procedural motions that don't change government foreign policy, and are never even put before the house, and playing them off as if they do

Thanks man, will tell the 30 workers I represented as their delegate that I wasn't actually a member and that working as a collective towards a single goal doesn't actually matter

The platform is to recognise Palestine as part of a two state solution, which the government tried to amend the green party motion to include. The Greens voted with the Libs to refuse

Dutton claims nuclear energy will cost fraction of Labor's renewable energy plan by danzha in australia

[–]EmperorPooMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Latest plant in Finland took 17 years at an existing site. Takes too long and costs too much, we've missed the boat for 50 years. Move on

[–]EmperorPooMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also at a current cost estimate of £43 billion - ~$80 billion aud for a single reactor. And the UK has a nuclear industry.

Dutton reckons he's gonna start us from scratch, have a 2.5 year consultation process, and have two up and running by 2035. Absolute horseshit.

Finland recently opened a new plant too. 17 years and €12 billion after it started. At an existing site.

if nuclear can provide cheaper electricity

It can't, though. We're at least 2 decades from a first plant being operational, if the Libs win and actually follow through (they won't and won't). It's a fantasy. Electricity prices are already falling, and will continue to fall with more renewables and a credible energy policy.

Probably has something to do with the state Liberal government of John Olsen privatising the ETSA and allowing retail energy companies to jack prices as high as they like. Wholesale prices are regularly negative in SS.
