How cheap it is depends largely on your hydro resources. Tasmania currently has the cheapest power in Australia. If the mainland could do the same, it would. For the most part, we are going with wind and solar.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

I never said any different. I said "They already nearly ran the Tasmania dams dry once and you want to try again?"

yes lack of rainfall generally, but the cost is prohibitive as snowy 2 attests.

I don’t mind Sussan, I don’t trust any of the others in the mix to be any better. I hope they give her a chance to settle the waves before they strike. I feel she is the best choice to take up the battle against Labor next election. I did hear on the news today that PHON has surged

Yes, the latest polls are showing PHON with a significant Primary vote:

Primary vote numbers: Labor up four to 38%
, the Coalition down five to 24%
, the Greens down two to 9%
and One Nation up four to 18%
.

What is truly amazing - and very damning of the Libs here and Conservatives in the UK and across Europe - is that they are totally unable to counter soft cock Trot bleeders like Albo.
The Libs, like the Conservatives, were in office for a long time and achieved absolutely nothing.

Totally useless. The Labor/Green/Teal mindset will destroy Australia, as it has destroyed the UK, Canada, Western Europe and the supposed counter-voice has been nothing but hand-wringing panty-waistes of the worst kind of opportunists.
Matt Keane, ffs, was a treasurer in a 'liberal' government in NSW. The Libs do not stand for anything but focus grouped blather. Even Abbott gave it all away for idiotic bollocks. Howard presided over a massive demographic transformation, started by his boss Frazer, which in the end cost him his seat!
Poetic ****ing justice. No tikky, no seat. Herro? Herro?!
