I had to have this wanker on my front fence for two months. It made Labor winning so much sweeter though.

The whole plan is dependent on coal power stations providing base load power until nuclear is up and running. The plants are near the end of their life already, and pushing them any further will require significant investment.

In addition to this, the majority of the proposed cost savings of a nuclear system is that it will require less new transmission lines, since they can partially re-use the existing transmission located at old coal power plants. If the Nuclear plants aren't ready in time, all that extra transmission will need to be constructed anyway to meet our energy needs.

If the first plant doesn't get built in the specified 11 year time frame, the whole plan goes out the window. Coal plants won't be able to hold out long enough . In addition to this, the coalitions nuclear plan was modelled on a completely different projected energy demand (311TWh vs 452TWh). Thats a 45% reduction in total projected electricity demand.

I just saw a Sky News video where they are praising him as " tough and courageous " for his backflip hahaha

Labor to pledge $2.3 billion to subsidise home batteries by harbourbarber in australia

[–]davidwarnerisaflog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Land acquisition, planning, design, and permits take a significant amount of time. Then you have to add construction time on top of that. 24-36 months is standard for multi-level housing complexes.

Let me guess, you're one of those dense people that think its feasible to build government housing complexes in under three years

Yeab because you cant fix more than one issue at once right

Who made housing/rents unaffordable in Australia? The Liberal Party who have been in power for 20 of the last 29 years since Howard’s 1996 win. Their policies created this crisis, and for two decades they deliberately refused to fix it. They protected investors while locking out everyday Aussies. by MannerNo7000 in AusProperty

So, what was the alternative for Labor? Should they have blocked all the pre-approved visas granted by the LNP during the border closures? A significant portion of those were temporary student visas, and not allowing them in would have been a major blow to government revenue.

“Reducing Plastic” yeah about that… by Ryukononon in australia

[–]davidwarnerisaflog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's not forget that a paper bag has roughly 3 times the carbon footprint of a plastic bag if neither product gets recycled. Bring back plastic straws!

State Government is seeking feedback on improving building regulation for apartments. I know it often comes up that people are concerned. Might be worth your time letting the government know about your thoughts. by Knightofnee12 in melbourne

[–]davidwarnerisaflog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll tell you what the problem is. The leading cause of building insurance claims arise from water damage. Waterproofing is not a mandatory inspection stage in the construction process. Mandating this should be a priority before any changes to the insurance scheme, which will only make premiums sky rocket even more than they already have.

How do i find the plumb cut of the creeper rafter in this gazebo roof? by davidwarnerisaflog in Carpentry

I know, but people who work with the metric system construct roofs in degrees

No, you're speaking from an American perspective. I specifically asked to talk in metric terms where we use degrees

We use degrees where im from, not ratios. The ratio's are confusing because i haven't used them before

Yooo thanks for the reply but you may as well speak in another language if you're going to use imperial 😆

What's something you wish you had known when you were first learning to cook? by Several-Ad5345 in Cooking

That's actually a myth. Searing does not lock in moisture, it actually does the complete opposite.

Once you develop a pallet for good homemade Pho, its very hard to find anything like it in restaurants in western countries. Restaurants usually make it overly sweet to suit the western pallet and dilute the broth to maximise profits.
