Dunno, I'm more likely to despair, TBH.
Dunno, I'm more likely to despair, TBH.Not just this thread - more like the whole of general chat
Scomo has focused too much attention on the fires and has been to slow to act on the floods. How dare he.....
He should be thrown out #cancelculture
Actually you could add to that, regardless of the Party, or the responsibility.He has lacked leadership and played politics with all the issues, consequently he has been caught out.
His supporters keep saying how everyone is blaming him............people / media aren't they think he is insincere and playing politics!
Compare that against the state leaders........haven't heard one complaint regardless of the party.
Well it is a State responsibility, and apparently a Premier from an affected State was away on holidays, a shame the the press didn't give that the same airplay. I guess it depends who you are head hunting, as usual.When you in the middle of a national emergency and your staff instead of planning a response or action are frantically backgrounding media how the lack of federal response is the NSW state governments fault is damming for Smoko's sincerity.....= 0

Actually it is interesting the fire brigades heads are asking not to conduct a royal Commission, so the outcome may be not what everyone expects, who knows? It may well be another shot in the foot, or foot in mouth situation, fortunately Albo showed sense and said very little most unusual for labour, but a breath of fresh air IMO.
But in the long term when the dust settles, I think common sense will come to the fore and everything will return to normal 24/7b news dribble will see to that.
The article in the AFR gives food for thought, it will only cost $100,000/ dwelling to go zero carbon, maybe the press will run with that one, it will give people something to get their teeth into.
I think it will happen a lot quicker than people think, the Power Companies are desperate to close down coal, it is a very labour/maintenance cost fuel ( coal handling plant, boiler tube/air heater erosion and ash handling is all a pain in the butt) .I think the zero carbon thing would actually be much cheaper the technology is there but the real impedance is the amount of money tied up currently in fossil fuels and that influence (think tobacco) will prevent the rapid change required.
Indeed.In W.A in the last 8 years 640 MW of coal capable generation at Kwinana has been shut down and de commissioned and another 640MW of coal will be de commissioned at Muja in the next couple of years, that is a lot of coal generation out of our system.

That's every politician ever......
Didnt happen last time.That's true, but there comes a time when people get sick of nothing important getting done and pick the other side in the hope that things will change.

So it shows people still think about the issues.
In Australia everyone gets priviliges, one way or another.No, they think about themselves and their privileges.
But also I can't imagine Hawke or Howard needing their hand held to such an extent.Can't imagine a Hawke or Howard getting themselves into such a muddle over a crisis. The party needs to examine the PM's office, and who is advising him.
The PM looked horribly back-footed and reactionary. Can you imagine Arthur Sinodinos allowing John Howard to be so badly ambushed! It should have been managed from before the Morrisons even left the country
