Meanwhile ... What's Albo up to?

Albanese calls Labor's 45 per cent emissions target a 'mistake'


Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese says Bill Shorten's decision to take a 45 per cent emissions reduction target by 2030 to last year's election was a "mistake", suggesting he would make a commitment extending beyond that date.

The federal Labor leader's comments come amid an intense debate about Australia's climate change policies during the devastating bushfire season.

Mr Albanese also said Labor would not be taking its policy to dump cash refunds for franking credits to the next election, but didn't rule out grandfathering in the policy to protect existing recipients.


During an interview with Sky News on Sunday morning, Mr Albanese said the 45 per cent reduction by 2030 might not be feasible by the time of the next election in 2021 or 2022.

"On climate change for example, one of the things that we're likely to do is announce a longer term target before we announce ... because by 2050 you're likely to do that," he said.

"Do an AFL analogy: it's a four-quarter game between 2019 and 2022. You're asking me how it will play out in the final quarter. You've got to know what the three-quarter time score is.

"Frankly, I think it was a mistake in 2019 to continue to say, 'Well, we'll do exactly what we're doing in 2015' - as if it hadn't changed."


Labor's 45 per cent target was a major issue during last year's election after Mr Shorten, the then leader, repeatedly refused to nominate a cost for the policy.

The Coalition has set a target of 26-28 per cent below 2005 levels, but Prime Minister Scott Morrison this month said the government would look to "meet and beat" it.

Asked whether the 45 per cent target would definitely be dumped, Mr Albanese said he "wasn't saying that" and "we will be very ambitious".

He hit out at the previous leadership's decision to not reassess its policies after the 2016 election and to keep adding measures on.

"What we did during that period was to add on policies, so everything stayed the same and we just added more on. We’ve seen how that played out; it doesn’t end well," Mr Albanese said.

The Opposition Leader also said Australia's coal export industry was likely to continue for some time. He said the controversial Adani coal mine in Queensland had received all of its environmental approvals and was going ahead.

Mr Albanese has revealed over the weekend that he would not be adopting the same policy to abolish refundable franking credits.


At the election, Labor committed to abolish the payments for all recipients except pensioners - sparking a major backlash from retirees.

Mr Albanese said, "We won't be taking the same policy to the election.

"We'll go through the detail of the announcement, but very clearly we won't be taking the same policy to the election," he said.

Asked whether Labor would "grandfather" the policy, he said: "I have a view about those things, but we'll have our processes."


Labor's internal campaign review criticised the party for its big tax and spend agenda, saying its spending announcements, which totalled more than $100 billion, created the need to commit to a suite of new taxes.


Mr Albanese would not say whether Labor would dump the negative gearing overhaul, saying he would follow a "proper shadow cabinet process and proper caucus process".

He committed to matching spending announcements with commitments to recoup revenue, but hinted his tax agenda would be smaller than the party took to the last election.

"If you have less revenue you will have less expenditure ... it is certainly the case that we intend to match up the two things," he said.

He said he was committed to a surplus, but he didn't shy away from the fact that "in a civilised society you need taxation in order to fund schools, in order to fund hospitals".

"Should there be a surplus this year? Yes. Had Labor been elected, would we be having a surplus? Yes we would," Mr Albanese said.

AnAl is petrified of being accused of being controlled by the Lunatic Extremist Greenies who burnt Australia to the ground.

AnAl has become a disciple of the people's Messiah ScoMo and is following him with head bowed to the light up on the hill.

AnAl is copying ScoMo's winning policies but as ScoMo is a vastly superior salesman AnAl will be lost in the dust.

Especially as ScoMo is now turning the bushfires, caused by the Greenies controlling Labor, into a jobs creating Nation building miracle!!!!

Obviously God is helping and guiding his beloved ScoMo through the thorns and quick sand to another thrilling victory at the next election.

The Lunatic Extremist Greenies, who Labor needs to control the SENATE, will soon bring AnAl to heel and have him slobbering and begging at their heels as they force him to adopt their Lunatic Extremist junk "policies" just like they did with Shifty old Shorty.

Why? Because the Liberals have failed so badly at getting CO2 emissions down (they're not going down AT ALL) that it's too hard to clean up their massive mess by 2030.

Do try to keep up.

And look how the Lunatic Extremist Greenies greatly increased the extremely dangerous and poisonous CO2 emissions after they set fire to Australia.

How many of the arsonists were Lunatic Extremist Greenies ?

I can give a ballpark figure: $767 billion

- $187 billion to replace all electric power stations with 50% solar, 50% wind and 24 hours worth of hydroelectric storage, factoring capital costs for 30 years
- $560 billion to replace all 14 million passenger vehicles with battery powered vehicles at a cost of approximately $40K per vehicle
- $20 billion for addition transmission and new charging infrastructure

This is probably a conservative estimate and would only reduce CO2 emissions by 45 - 55%.

Bushfires would continue to occur.

The Red Act 1950 :

The preamble asserted that the Communist Party engages in activities designed to assist or accelerate the coming of a revolutionary situation, in which the Australian Communist Party, acting as a revolutionary minority, would be able to seize power and establish a dictatorship of the proletariat . It will burn Australia , make CO2 and write extremist propaganda against fire-fighters.

That's not very nice.

What would be more constructive is asking why juliar isn't the young Liberal who had an epiphany where they realised the Libs were a bunch of corrupt, greedy scumbags?

Albo lost me tonight on the news when he said "Friends... comrades".... at a meeting....

"Comrades"?

Where DO these oddball refo stock people get their ideas?  He's another one who's never held a real job outside "politics", mumbles the usual claptrap rhetoric, and expects we ordinary folk to bow down to his infinite knowledge and total adherence to the party line.. communists and feminists... Jesus God.... is this all Labor has to offer as a rebuttal to the worst party to ever govern Australia on our behalf?

Proved to me why I do not vote Labor... or anyone else for that matter except selected Independents.

Get your head out of the books and bullshit, Albo - nobody wants modern day Labor...  and without a solid opposition for THE PEOPLE ENTIRE and not just selected groups, that allows the LNP to just rage on without any thought, as usual, because nobody will elect your kind.

Got it?

"Comrades"... **spits in gutter**

AnAl is dead scared as Adolf Bandt his Greeny Coalition partner goes troppo and is so unpopular he is unelectable and is raving rabid nuts like that stupid hysterical screeching sheila Greater ThunderBung.

AnAl blundered on early about how he would copy all ScoMo's winning policies but now Adolf Bandt is threatening him that he must adopt all the Greenies' junk policies or he will be struck by Climate Change SCAM lightening.

I do of course agree that "we" need to get to zero Carbon emissions by 2050 ...

Mind you, it is a can of worms in this country.  Sad

Albo Labor has calculated that there has been a real change in the Australian electorate's mindset about Climate action.

The decision was made during the heat (no pun intended) of the massive bush-fires.

Ya know what?

I don't think there has been a real change. More's the pity.  Sad

We shall see what happens at the 2022 election.

PM slams Anthony Albanese as ‘Bill Shorten 2.0’ for Labor’s uncosted net-zero emissions target
OLIVIA CAISLEY 4:02PM FEBRUARY 21, 2020

Finance Minister Mathias Cormann says Anthony Albanese's pledge to set a net zero emissions target by 2050 shows he has not learnt “from Bill Shorten’s mistakes”.

Scott Morrison has slammed Anthony Albanese as being “Bill Shorten 2.0’’ over his uncosted carbon-neutral target of net-zero emissions by 2050, declaring the Labor leader doesn’t have a plan to reach the target and can’t explain what his proposed energy transition will cost the nation.


The Prime Minister seized on Mr Albanese’s first major policy announcement since last year’s election on Friday, declaring the Labor leader was “just like” his predecessor in being unable to outline the costs of the party’s climate policies.
Labor’s stance on climate change was one of the key issues flagged in a review of the party’s disastrous election loss at the 2019 election.

“Anthony Albanese is just as much the Bill you couldn’t afford today as Bill Shorten was before,” Mr Morrison said. “Bill Shorten couldn’t tell you when he had a 45 per cent emissions reduction target, what it would cost, what jobs would be lost.


“Anthony Albanese is just Bill Shorten 2.0 when it comes to not being able to explain to you the cost of his policy.”

Delivering a speech in Melbourne on Friday, Mr Albanese also pledged that Labor will never use Kyoto carry-over credits and said a net-zero emissions target could have the potential to “result in higher wages, higher growth and lower energy costs”.

“In an important study the CSIRO found last year that net zero emissions by 2050 would result in higher wages, higher growth and lower energy costs and in recent months we had some foreshadowing of the costs of inaction and that’s before we see the carbon tariffs and other measures that are being promoted by many of our trading partners,” Mr Albanese said. “That’s why today I announce that a Labor Government will adopt the carbon neutral target of zero net emissions by the year 2050.”


The Morrison govt plans to use carry-over credits to meet about half of Australia’s 2030 emissions reduction target of 26 to 28 per cent of 2005 levels by 2030.

Govt sharpens attack on Labor's net zero emissions target
In his first major policy announcement as the leader of the Labor Party, Anthony Albanese will pledge to set a net zero emissions target by 2050. The government has already ...

Speaking on ABC Radio on Friday, opposition climate and energy spokesman Mark Butler also failed to provide a ballpark figure for the cost of meeting Labor’s carbon-neutral target, but promised “no one will be left behind” under his party’s proposed energy transition.

Mr Butler told ABC Radio the horror bushfire season, as well as a mass bleaching event of the Great Barrier Reef, had made it clear to the Australian people the cost of “doing nothing.”

“What is clear, particularly after the summer of what we’ve had is the cost of doing nothing,” Mr Butler said. “We’re seeing more and more evidence of that in our own backyard from the bushfire emergencies.”

When pressed repeatedly about whether he had any concept of what it would cost to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, Mr Butler didn’t provide a figure.
“The idea we can talk about the cost of taking action without talking about the cost of not taking action is part of the problem with the debate about climate policy in this country,” Mr Butler said.

“We’ve had the CSIRO say that a net zero emissions path to 2050, compared to the path we’re currently on, would deliver stronger economic growth, would deliver high wages and would deliver lower energy bills.”

Finance Minister Mathias Cormann warned Labor’s uncosted target could send jobs overseas, pushing global emissions up and damaging the economy.

“Making meaningless commitments without actually properly assessing what the economic cost is, the impact on jobs, the impact on power prices and the impact on emissions is extremist and irresponsible,” he told Sky News.


More than 80 countries around the world have adopted the target, along with NSW, Qldd, SA and Victoria.

Senator Cormann lashed Labor’s announcement as “completely meaningless” unless they looked Australians in the eye and told them “how many of their jobs you are sending overseas.”

He said the govt would identify long-term emissions targets in time for an international climate conference in November.

Mr Butler didn’t rule out the introduction of packages for communities that might lose jobs during an energy transition.

“I don’t think anyone out there would want me simply to sit down with a pad of paper and write a policy without talking to them,” he said. “We’re very focused on making sure that no one is left behind in the transformation of our economy.”

Speaking on Sky News, Mr Butler’s colleague and Labor Deputy Leader Richard Marles said Labor’s net-zero target was “about jobs.”

“We are talking about building renewable energy, that involves investment … which equals jobs.”

Newspoll: 51-49 to Coalition


The Coalition edges back into the lead in Newspoll, with Labor, the Greens and One Nation all down on the primary vote.

The Australian reports the Coalition has opened a
51
-
49
lead in the latest Newspoll, after the previous poll three weeks ago recorded a dead heat.

The Coalition is up two on the
primary vote
to
43%
, with Labor down one to
35%
, the Greens down two to
10%
and One Nation down one to
3%
.

Scott Morrison’s
approval rating
is down two to
66%
, with the disapproval not yet provided; Albanese is down one on approval to
44%
and up three on disapproval to 37%.

Morrison’s lead as
preferred prime minister
is all but unchanged at
56
-
29
, compared with 56-28 last time. The poll was conducted Wednesday to Saturday from a sample of 1504.


One year in and Albo is only at
29%
.

A fair bit more work required.  Shocked

I no longer vote for women in politics as a matter of principle ... it's gone way too far ... I will only vote for people I know and trust personally now - man or women, whichever fits the bill best - but a Labor chick has no chance with me these days...

Well, I guess we found out today that it was not Shorty who made up all those dreadful "zingers" ...

Must be someone else in Labor HQ

e.g.

Today's example:

From Albo and Jason Clare:

ScoMo is talking about keeping the Australian dream alive ... I reckon builders would say "Tell 'im 'es dreamin'" ... 

What a zinger.  Roll Eyes

So, who's next cab off the rank?

Chalmers? One of the three architects of the policy that lost the unlosable election?   Wink

...

Another Dr. Jim?   Roll Eyes

...

Last time there was a Dr. Jim in charge of Labor budget policy, it didn't end well either.   Cheesy

Albo's main function these days is to get ScoMo re-elected with a massive majority.

I think Albo is quite smart.

Being in opposition, he has nothing to do but count his cash.

Policies can be made up all the time and never have to be proven
no problem with stuffing up, who cares
Just coast until he gets to pension age and enjoy.

Sounds good to me.

Albo's job is to get this moron out of office.

...

Albo has started to bell the cat on this fraudulent PM, and it's about time. The current government must be removed from office at the next election. Never has there been a more compelling case to remove a government: a recession, numerous scandals, rampant corruption, many broken promises, bad policies attacking workers, incompetence and mismanagement.

Albo's problem isn't his strategy, it's the right-wing media that protects the Coalition by censoring the Coalition's many misdeeds and the media won't give him or the Labor party a fair go.

There is only one poll that counts - the final one.... and in my view neither party will 'win' it - though one will lose more than the other.

What's Albo's stance on the current wage differential per hour that favours women $55-$46 for men plus the extra time off they get for various things?

What are his views on a Voice = one man - two votes if you're Black?

What are his views on immigration policy for the future - a viable future that is.

What are his views on the continued stacking of Labor branches with feminists and the surge for a permanent majority of women in Labor, given that the 'policy' says 'at least 50%'...... meaning there can be more but never less - does the same apply to men, and how, in a democracy, could such a thing be enforced?

What are his views on the ongoing betrayal of men, and especially younger men, in Australia when it comes to a fair go in education and job placement etc?

What are his views on finally closing down affirmative action after forty years without let?

Thousands and thousands of INFECTED illegal immigrants would try to enter Australia - not just for the Dole $$, but now for a place to live where there is minimal infection and cheaper to get free Medical care.

Thousands and I mean thousands would put Australia in the position of erecting 'Shanty Towns' for the diseased and illegal Dole hopefuls with their 15 kids.

Accepting them would be like saying Over-Population is justified.

Can't fix your own home up, so break into another.

Union unrest continues ...

Dump Anthony Albanese call as Labor heartland vote tanks


GREG BROWN
2 HOURS AGO JANUARY 18, 2021

...
Labor’s primary vote in the NSW Hunter Valley under Anthony Albanese has plummeted since the disastrous 2019 election. Picture: Sean Davey.

A union-commissioned poll showing the ALP faces the loss of two seats in its political heartland at the next election has prompted a senior CFMEU official to call on Labor to dump Anthony Albanese as party leader.

With speculation increasing that an election could be held in the second half of the year, CFMEU national political organiser Elizabeth Doidge — a close ally of the Opposition Leader’s union nemesis John Setka — said Tanya Plibersek would be a better chance to lead Labor to a victory.


Ms Doidge’s call came as The Australian revealed Labor was on track to lose the Hunter Valley electorates of Shortland and Paterson at the next election, according to polls of 955 people in each seat conducted in November by Chorus Consulting with New Zealand research firm Community Engagement.

Labor’s primary vote in the coalmining electorate of Shortland, held by frontbencher Pat Conroy, has dropped 13 points since the election to 28 per cent compared with the Liberals’ primary vote of 45 per cent.

In nearby Paterson, held by Right faction MP Meryl Swanson, Labor’s primary vote has ­fallen by 11 per cent since the 2019 election to 30 per cent.

This is compared to a primary vote of 43 per cent for the Liberal Party and nearly 7 per cent for both One Nation and the Greens.


The Nationals polled at less than 2 per cent in both seats. The margin of error is 3 per cent.

“I would love to see Plibersek up there, I think she would be a fantastic leader,” Ms Doidge told The Australian.

“We definitely want a change of leadership. I’m not necessarily saying it needs to be Plibersek but it definitely needs to be someone other than Anthony Albanese.

“He can’t unite the party, he can’t unite the unions, he doesn’t have the leadership the party needs to win a federal election.”

Ms Doidge, whose Victorian division of the union is furious Mr Albanese forced Mr Setka out of the party, said the poll of the Hunter Valley seats was commissioned by the nat­ional offices of key building unions.

“We are very confident there is going to be a federal election this year and we want to make sure ... any money we might spend on (it) or backing a certain party is going to be well spent,” she said.

“It is clear from these results that Labor cannot win a federal election under Albanese’s leadership.”

Nearly 71 per cent of respondents in Shortland and 65 per cent in Paterson said they were “very certain” they would not change their voting intention before the election.

Labor holds four seats in the Hunter Valley and the region’s most experienced MP, Joel Fitzgibbon, nearly lost his seat at the last election with a 14 per cent primary vote swing.

Liberal strategists believe the party can win Hunter, Paterson and Shortland at the next election as Scott Morrison intends to portray Labor as the party of inner-city elites.

...

In Shortland, voters in all income categories are favouring the Liberal Party. Forty-three per cent of voters on a family income of less than $50,000 are backing the Liberal Party, compared with 35 per cent for Labor.

Support for the Liberal Party increases to 48 per cent of voters on incomes between $50,000 and $80,000, while Labor’s drops to 31 per cent.

In Paterson, Labor is well behind with low-income earners but its stocks improve with people on wages above $80,000.

Thirty-five per cent of voters in Paterson with a family income of between $80,000 and $120,000 intend to support Labor at the next election, compared with 33 per cent for the Liberal Party.

Just 7 per cent of labourers in Shortland, including coalminers, say they intend to vote Labor at the next election, compared with 42 per cent for the Liberal Party and 33 per cent for One Nation.

In Paterson, 42 per cent of ­labourers say they will vote for Labor, compared with 34 per cent who will back the Liberals and 13 per cent One Nation.

Voters in both electorates are strongly supportive of the renewables sector, but wary of climate change policies that will have a negative impact on coalmining. In Paterson, 46 per cent said they would be less likely to vote for Labor if its climate change policy resulted in lower support for coalmining, compared with 34 per cent more likely to vote for the ALP.

That's what you get when you mindlessly forget about the majority in your relentless pursuit of 'equity' for certain groups, and forfeit your right to carry out governance of all.

I cannot get that across to Labor.

No reply yet from Albo over the reality that women are currently paid 11.7% more per hour actually worked than men... women have been slotted into the higher paid jobs with the soft ride and best super for years now, and the results are coming out - this same thing happened in Russia pre-collapse of Communism - and standards in many areas went down....

Labor don't want to address that reality... indeed they are incapable of doing so while ever they are bound by a constitution that allows a majority in stacked branches to suit 'feminists' to hold the vote.  If they reckon they have the right to compel 'at least 50% women' - they have the equal right to compel 'at least 50% men'... in both party membership and genuine voting rights... or 50% feminist/50% non-feminists...  once you start down the enforced quotas trail, there is no end to it, and you end up back where you started but after an incredibly drawn out Trail of Tears for far too many.

Someone commented - re 'direct democracy' - that a group such as private schools could get together and push for doubled funding - well - when Labor has allowed itself to be over-run by feminists and their running dogs, it is inevitable that women will be handed more and more and more of the pie without actually doing the work for it.

Time to stop and revert to genuine equality and not this rubbish about 'equity' - equity means, under current figures, that women should only work 30 hours a week to earn as much as men do working 39.

FFS.... add in all the extra days off, childcare benefits and so forth, and away you go... how much is enough?  Don't tell me the girls haven't had it too good for too long, while the men have been progressively driven out of professions and forced to accept any sh1t job they can get.

Now then, for a start - about that approach to school education falsified in 1989 to 'suit girls more'... FFS....

How Dare They??  Don't these idiotic 'feminists' have sons and grandsons?

Oh - just the usual - juggling the demands of the feminist and other vipers along with his certain knowledge that there is a vast need to genuinely equalise everyone and treat everyone equally and stop handing out preference.

When men are forced to work 25% longer than women to earn 11.7% less per hour worked, there is a seriously deadly gender wage and working hour gap in operation against men ... what WILL Albo do about that? What will he do when the figures come in for the fancy retirement of women as opposed to the men sifting through the job scrap heaps for a daily crust?  When WILL Labor enforce 'at least 50%' men in areas of work where women are the majority?

Never and Sweet Fanny Adams as long as the Party is in thrall to the feminists etc.... they simply vote in the party for what they want and are not concerned in any way about what the rest deserve as equal treatment, as required by law... and they sure can't do simple figures despite their much vaunted educational skills.....   Roll Eyes

NOWHERE in the workforce are women 'better' at any job than men..... there is nothing special about being a woman, in fact, in many job areas they can only do the light work anyway.  Passed some road work today - who was holding the signs?  Women... who was digging with a shovel?  Men ....

No wonder Labor find it so hard to be elected these days..... and look at the LNP... Jesus.....

We'll all be rooned, I tellz yez....

This unpaid gap you allude to is a symptom of a wider malaise that has less to do with gender and more to do with an exploitative industrial relations system that is skewed way too far in favour of employers.

When we get unemployment down to 1% or lower, employers will become much more interested in paying their staff for every hour worked.

Oh my ... what an interesting development:  Cheesy

Obviously, Albo wants to go "Liberal Lite" ... an extraordinarily risky strategy. 8-| Just how long are the Labor Left going to put up with this?   Shocked

Albanese drops Butler from climate in reshuffle restart on emissions

By David Crowe
January 27, 2021 — 9.50pm

Federal Labor leader Anthony Albanese will drop climate spokesman Mark Butler from the key portfolio in a shake-up that aims to bridge a gulf within the party on gas fields, coal mines and greenhouse emissions.

Mr Butler, one of the party’s strongest advocates for ambitious carbon targets, will lose the portfolio of climate change and energy after months of dispute over whether Labor should make a new pledge to cut emissions by 2030 or 2035.

Mr Albanese is expected to announce the reshuffle within days to transfer health spokesman Chris Bowen into the climate portfolio.

Mr Bowen, the party’s treasury spokesman at the last election, is said to be keen to take on climate and energy.

Labor insiders dismissed talk of Mr Albanese’s leadership being in question in the reshuffle, pointing to support for him in the left faction, the NSW right and the Victorian right.

Mr Butler takes on health and ageing at a key point in the pandemic, with the government facing questions over its vaccine rollout and its aged care policies ahead of the final report from the royal commission into the sector.

Senior figures portrayed Mr Butler’s new position as a central portfolio given the pandemic and given his experience as aged care minister in the Gillard government.

The change from Mr Butler to Mr Bowen will mark a shift in ownership of the climate portfolio

from the left faction to the right of the party after a stand-off last year when the resources spokesman at the time, Joel Fitzgibbon, argued against setting an interim target for 2030 or 2035.

While Mr Albanese has pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 under a Labor government, some caucus members believe there is no need to set an interim goal that could make the party a bigger target at the next federal election.

Labor’s pledge at the last election, to reduce emissions by 45 per cent by 2030 compared to the Morrison government’s target of 26 to 28 per cent, remains in limbo until a decision is made on whether to recommit to it or update it for 2035.

Mr Fitzgibbon, who stood down from the resources portfolio after his clashes with Mr Butler at the end of last year, welcomed the news about the reshuffle but signalled he wanted a change on policy as well.

“Obviously I welcome the change,” he said.

“We have to send a clear signal to our traditional base that we are back, and this is a good start.

“But changing the jockey will not be enough in the absence of a shift in policy emphasis, calibration and language.”

Mr Albanese backed Mr Butler last November when some caucus members wanted him moved after the disputes with Mr Fitzgibbon.

“Yes, Mark Butler will remain as our climate change and energy spokesperson. Mark Butler is doing a fantastic job in that role,” Mr Albanese told reporters on November 13.

Mr Butler declared last year the party should go to the next election with an interim target to show how a Labor government would deliver net-zero emissions over the longer-term.

“You can’t set a mid-century target and then check in 2049 whether you’re on track to meet it. No one thinks that,” Mr Butler said in September.

Mr Fitzgibbon rejected that argument and the interim target remains to be decided.

Captain Nemo is very eager for a change of government, judging by how frequently he keeps resurrecting this thread.

I find it immensely amusing - all the carry-on within the Labor Party.  Grin

Removing Butler "strengthens" the green energy push?

Really?  Cheesy

What a joke Labor is. I reckon Albo is stuffed.  Wink

He didn't get a chance to be the Benevolent Covid Dictator of OZ, too bad. The Coalition will keep Covid going as long as possible to squeeze Labor out of existence. They're past their use-date anyway, don't need them any longer, we need some brand new parties for the rest of the 21st century

First policy off the rank for the new parties should be "No one should have to pay for what they don't use"

Everyone knows what I mean by that
