Anthony Albanese - How long? -3-

[MPMonkeys]

I agree like a lot of incumbent governments around the world in inflationary times Labor is up against it
Nuclear though is a disaster
Spend a thousand billion to realise questionable savings in 2049
I mean really

I think Dutton has opened up an obvious attack line now that could scupper his chances. They surely would have been better off saying zip on their energy policy rather than the dud that even their salesman at Murdoch are struggling to prosecute.

Labor have no credibility when it comes to energy and prices. That idiotic promise they made at the last election is going to be in every second advertisement.
The more they talk nuclear, the more focus they get on this broken promise.

And Bowen is a shocking media performer.

So bring it on. Talk energy for the next 6 months.

 

[MPMonkeys]

You're forgetting LNP lied about the energy price change at the last election and misleading Labor and the public.
But I'm sure you intentionally forgot that bit

Nobody cares. Please advise Labor to talk energy. A certain vote loser.

 

[Gralin]

Hey evolved2 you having another Sunday night drink and troll session or have you actually fallen this far down the rabbit hole that you think progressives in this country are the far left?

 

[Gavin Excell]

I wonder why the Coalition doesn't have the guts to come out and say we don't believe in net zero. As it stands, they have this foot in both camps with the pretend nuclear policy to address net zero that will never be introduced but is designed to buy more time for Gina's coal and gas interests.

I'd certainly have far more respect for just coming out and owning their stance than this current cynical approach

Again I agree
There's a strong attack point for the Coalition on the broken promise as equally there is for Labor on nuclear
There will be Simpson's 3 eyed fish in the.final weeks

I'm not trolling.

Most of my experience with progressives is on the SRP. Gotta say, I'm not a huge fan. This place has pushed me to the right if anything.

Absolutely 100% chance of Blinky making an appearance.

 

[Gralin]

Well, you can't help people like you with such a low IQ.

I'm really not a fan of this line of attack

 

[1990crow]

I'm really not a fan of this line of attack

It's true. Im actually sick of people being morally bankrupt on this issue.
I think if you're on the don't want to be welcomed to my own country narrative you're not a good person.

 

[Gralin]

It's true. Im actually sick of people being morally bankrupt on this issue.

Moral bankruptcy is not low IQ

You don't have to be stupid to have bad views, there's a long history of very intelligent evil men out there that's pretty well documented

People can also say dumb shit without being dumb

People will also see a graph that shows lower education levels equate to certain voting patterns and decide lower education means lower IQ

It's a great way to feel superior but that's about it

 

[adogsfan5]

Being morally bankrupt on an issue / not being a good person, has nothing to do with a low IQ. You might want to reconsider these posts.

The whole my side lives in reality your side is deluded / my side is smart your side is dumb thing is pushed because it helps the people profiting off the fighting

Albanese and Labor are going to get hammered at the next election. The baseball bats are out and they are ready.

It would be completely idiotic of Labor to put nuclear on the table as an election debate. That would mean having Bowen front the media and he has zero credibility when it comes to numbers. Every time he opens his mouth, he is going to get reminded about power being $275 cheaper. And people know from their bills that the complete opposite has happened.

Now the left can cry about the media but Bowen was an absolute arse clown to make this promise and it’s going to be an albatross around Labor’s neck for the next 6 months.

Serious question, how are the Libs going to hammer Labor at the next election? Doubt they'll win teal seats back, in fact they may have other inner city seats at risk with the nuclear policy. They are miles behind going into this election, I really don't see how they hammer Labor and actually struggle to see how they even win.

 

[Festerz]

Nobody cares. Please advise Labor to talk energy.

Err, you seem not to realise that all the talk over recent days HAS been about energy policy. Specifically the Dutton Coalition release of its costed nuclear energy policy plan on Friday.

Not surprised you aren't aware of this as it went down like a lead balloon and its credibility being attacked from every angle, including the business press. So of course your besties at NewsCorp have it buried in side columns in the middle pages.

A certain vote loser.

So it seems and so anyone with a fully functioning prefrontal cortex is hoping. But not in the way you're imagining.

 

[Festerz]

I suspect many parents will forgo their inheritance to help their kids.

Huh?

I'm not sure you understand how this inheritance thing works.

 

[nut]

you have a very 'different' definition of reliable.

You seem to be confused between Variable and reliable.

You do realise energy bills are cheaper by more than 30 per cent with the rebates in place yeah?, there's data that backs this up. People are better off than they were 2 years ago and would be much worse off with the other mob in control and without the rebates so stop peddling nonsense. If you do the maths it probably isn't that far off from being 275 dollars either. If the argument is you were going to get bargain basement prices than that isn't the correct analogy which you seem to be using. If the government owned the power grid absolutely but they don't. Prices were always going up it's what the rebates have been able to absorb is what is most important. I agree that wasn't argued correctly but now is the time to set the record straight with facts and data to back it up. Be honest and explain it so people can understand. " Your better off even though it may not feel like it " and go through all the numbers.

The boomer generation is like that digested rat passing through the stomach of a python
It's now at the tail end. I suspect there will be no housing investment taxation advantages introduced until that generation has passed

Gen x? Actually own more property etc

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Mate they have just proposed an energy policy that isn't even viable till 2045 best case scenario how does that exactly fix power prices right now?, people care who's going to fix the current situation according to you how's Dutton's policy going to do that? Your arrogantly sticking with your viewpoint on this topic when there's no legs to stand on.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

All 23 months of it

Yep. The only good thing about Abbott’s prime ministership is that it wasn’t longer.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

I think Dutton has opened up an obvious attack line now that could scupper his chances. They surely would have been better off saying zip on their energy policy rather than the dud that even their salesman at Murdoch are struggling to prosecute.

Given how patently stupid his nuclear policy is, the question is why did he ever pursue this dud plan?

And the only answer I can come up with that makes any sense is that Gina told him to.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

You seem to be confused between Variable and reliable.

Renewables will reliably produce variable output.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

Huh?

I'm not sure you understand how this inheritance thing works.

Many people who will get an inheritance are parents who will use their inheritance to assist their children rather than help themselves.

 

[Festerz]

Many people who will get an inheritance are parents who will use their inheritance to assist their children rather than help themselves.

. Err yes. That's inherited wealth.

And exactly the circumstances the references to inheritance at a time of extraordinary residential house prices was getting at. That those who do not have access to that inherited wealth will be forever locked out of being able to afford a permanent place to live.

And with rental prices irrevocably tied to rising residential housing prices (and the government policies that have created and promoted that) it is and will increasingly become the source of perpetual, institutionalised and rapidly expanding class divide.

THAT is the nub of what is now being called the 'housing crisis'.

 

[peetoo]

Yep. The only good thing about Abbott’s prime ministership is that it wasn’t longer.

We just had the doco about when they knifed Turnbull. 2018. Only briefly mentioned but it was all about the NEG. Since then no actual energy policy by the coalition…till now
