yeah burning our coal to manufacture Solar panels to sell to us and the World....

Maybe it's you that can't see the woods for the trees.

Nah, you are the dinosaur. If we were back in cave man times, you would never leave the cave for fear of the unknown outside.

Renewables are the future and you obviously didn’t read the article.

There is a reason why Dutton hasn't announced where his proposed Nuclear power sites will be...

The horse has bolted with Nuclear.

It is just a delay tactic so coal power stations can continue for years to come (even though are unreliable and will need replacing)

If he by chance gets into power, he will just say it is going to take longer than anticipated and will drop the policy.

Mind you the majority of the proposed nuclear plants will in all likelihood be in Coalition seats in the country but still be close enough to the major capitals.

... which why there are some Nationals who are not supportive of this policy.

I'll agree to anything that might go towards curtailing China's influence anywhere in the world. Not sure a rugby team does that though

Side note - I was surprised at Penny Wrong's stronger than usual language talking about China's threatening bully tactic of the recent simulated all out assault on Taiwan. I was also surprised she'd pulled her head out of China's arse for long enough to get the words out.

Until Hamas is no more this cannot happen.

People surely can’t want more of this.

I’m no fan of the alternative either, but surely people have learned their lesson now about what happens to the country when you give the keys to the ALP.

Yes, it gets a social conscience.

Seriously, the Coalition is not better at economic management than the ALP. Only one party ever gave us the trifecta of double digit unemployment, interest rates and inflation and it wasn’t the ALP.

One difference is one party has ideas and unfortunately it is not the Coalition - just think Medicare, Superannuation, Dividend imputation, NBN, NDIS (more work to get it right but concept correct), push for renewables for starters.

They are chalk and cheese.

The next election won’t be fought on immigration- if it does it will reinforce we are a nation of racists.

The latest immigration mess engulfing Andrew Giles harks back to a fateful meeting between two friendly prime ministers

Andrew Giles is facing immense pressure over the decision known as Direction 99, but he shows no signs of going anywhere. This mess can be traced back to a meeting of two prime ministers looking to repair a broken relationship.

The almighty mess engulfing the immigration minister harks back to a gesture of goodwill towards our closest neighbour​

By David Speers
Posted 9h ago9 hours ago

Andrew Giles is still standing as immigration minister and the prime minister has no intention of sacking him.

But a scramble has begun to fix the latest immigration mess that, this time, can't be blamed on the High Court.

In fact, it's a mess that can instead be traced back to a meeting of two prime ministers on the shores of Sydney Harbour nearly two years ago.

New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern was the first foreign leader to visit Anthony Albanese after his election win. They had dinner at Kirribilli House, followed by more formal talks the next day.

The two leaders had known each other for years and both were enthusiastic about "re-setting" the trans-Tasman relationship, which had developed a major sticking point during the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison years.
Despite the very public pressure, Morrison proved to be as much of a brick wall on this as his Coalition predecessors. The then-prime minister refused to budge.

When Australia elected a new government, Ardern had a fresh opening.

A fortnight after Albanese was sworn in, the two prime ministers discussed the deportations during their meeting in Sydney. "This does represent a reset," Ardern declared after the talks.

While Albanese didn't announce any immediate change, he did make a commitment to "work through with our department, work through the implementation of the way that Section 501 has been dealt with".

"We've listened to the concerns and there's more work to do," he said.

Enter Direction 99​

That work culminated early last year in Immigration Minister Andrew Giles issuing Direction 99 to "decision makers", both in his department and at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).

The new direction listed five "primary considerations" to be weighed when deciding whether to cancel someone's visa. For the first time, this list of primary considerations included "the strength, nature and duration of ties to Australia".

In other words, a more lenient approach should be taken towards those who've spent a long time here.
Direction 99, however, also specifically listed some offences that are "so serious that even strong countervailing considerations may be insufficient". These include family violence, forced marriage, violent or sexual crimes against women, children, disabled or elderly people, human trafficking, people smuggling, and worker exploitation.

The intention here was to clearly spell out which crimes should still result in automatic expulsion of a non-citizen, regardless of "ties to Australia".

Although the words “may be insufficient” clearly left room for interpretation. We now know the Administrative Appeals Tribunal appeared to ignore that part of the ruling, and gave great weight to the new consideration of "ties to Australia".

It decided to allow all sorts of offenders to stay in Australia, including a serial child rapist, a man who r*ped his stepdaughter while his wife was giving birth in hospital, and a suspected people smuggler.

The libs next election slogan might be: higher interest rates, less rapists

Perhaps but this isn’t a good look for Mr Potato Head. After all, he barely spent anytime in any of his portfolios as he ****ed up each one by one. So 102 sex offenders and 40 domestic violence perpetrators. This issue will go away given no-one can hold the higher moral ground.

And God help this country if Mr Potato Head ever becomes PM.

Those “vaccines” are working brilliantly too, as always

She (said) there were more than 140 patients in hospital with COVID-19 and the flu, with metropolitan hospitals reporting around 270 staff are off work with COVID.

“Compared to this time last year, we have 200 more admitted patients in our system,” Lawrence said.
