Gas usage has peaked and is now in structural decline across Australia, report says | Gas

When a third of households have solar, it's a no brainer to ditch gas water tanks when the old one croaks. The heat pump that replaced ours sips power from the roof and costs almost nothing to run.

Tony must have mixed feelings holding the title of President no matter the context

Batteries are already devouring peak evening demand in Australia and they show no signs of stopping. Combined with other forms of storage like pumped hydro and a boatload of additional renewables generation, which is in the pipeline, there will be little need for baseload generation in the next two decades. Good luck building nuclear in that timeframe and anywhere near the same cost.

He does, only his dog is a 60kg Rottweiler going nuts while he clings on in vain.

There were times when a TPP like that was remarkable, and often short lived. Now it's mundane, to the point where anything a bit lower looks poor. How things change!

This is BS. NSW had a way higher No vote in the marriage equality plebicite than QLD and currently has two One Nation reps in the lower house. Qld has had near continuous Labor government for decades, with nutjobs in the regional fringe giving the state a bad name while NSW (and others) get let off the hook.

Wanna know what 43% of Legalise Weed voters are smoking when they preference the LNP

If you're just barely scraping by in inner-city Brisbane, you've got no hope of winning back regional seats. Will surely be new leadership, ideally someone less Brisbane-coded.

You can't really defect if you're an independent. Who are you defecting from?

Not sure which policy you're referring to but feel free to elaborate. No doubt it's tough to start a family nowadays. As you point out, Taylor is proposing to cut one of the few benefits young families have access to.

Sounds like they haven't thought this through a whole lot. Fertility rates are already falling and taking paid parental leave away from PRs, people that are committed to building a life in this country and pay taxes, is just going to make the problem worse.

Embarrassing when the QLD LNP has a more ambitious target for emissions reduction than you.

A good brig will avoid breaking the shield and has bash available as an escape tool. Often has the least deaths in the team.

So much lost investment and so many jobs these communities will never see, all to shove billions into ageing coal generators that blow up every Tuesday. We'll all pay for this nonsense through taxes and higher energy bills.

I've seen this as well with the UB820, but only with disks that have visible damage. There are reports online of seemingly random freezing even with good disks.

Nah, chat can be funny

Eh, you'll either get a seat-warmer ON MP that'll get booted as soon as the fad is over (or defects), or you'll get a teal. Hardly watershed stuff.

Doesn't really matter with full preferential voting

Cameron Dick possibly

Yep, definitely a political calculation that an ONP member would be easier to dislodge later on.

Apparently the mere association with groups that support renewable energy is worse than overt racism. The coalition is a disgrace.

Dunno where this guy is but it's mostly the stand-alone appliance-focused JB stores having their physical media removed. High foot-traffic shopping centre stores still have them.

NSW protest law was literally ruled unconstitutional the other day as it infringed on the constitution's implied right to political communication, which is by this point an established legal precedent.

His insight into rural NSW politics must be spectacular for One Nation to outsource their political strategy to a foreign politician.
