Surprise, surprise.....NOT, the biggest growth sector in Australia.
Record government spending sparks taxpayer-backed jobs boom
Of the 209,000 jobs filled in the six months to June 30, about half were classified as public sector, but there are questions about whether this is best for the economy.www.afr.com
Record government spending sparks taxpayer-backed jobs boom
About half of all jobs created in the first half of this year were backed by taxpayers, bolstering record government spending, while private sector growth stalled along with the broader economy amid a crash in consumer spending.
Of the 209,000 jobs filled in the six months to June 30, about half were classified as public sector, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics. Public sector jobs usually make up about 15 per cent of the labour market, illustrating the extent to which government spending is keeping downward pressure on the unemployment rate.

Feel free to find the quote where I believe Diesel is a good idea. Should only be a short term stop gap.
If only Dutton was as keen about Nuclear when the Coalition were in power for most of a decade by having an actual energy policy, we would be much better placed now than we otherwise are...

Victoria just got voted the worst place in Australia to do business.Another Australian business Seeley International Director Jon Seeley closing down their Albury factory in Victoria thanks to ALP Victoria. Said today the proposed assistance from Dan Andrews ALP Government never eventuated and with Victoria's move away from gas to electricity means their Australian manufactured gas heaters are now going to be replaced by overseas manufactured reverse cycle airconditioning units which he claims will use 5 times the energy of the gas heaters and put more pressure on the electricity grid. Another own goal by ALP Victoria.
125 jobs to go as gas heater manufacturer blames rush to renewables for factory shutdown
Workers at an Albury-Wodonga air conditioning and heater factory are to be made redundant, with the company blaming Victoria's "reckless" transition away from gas.
Jon Seeley responds to Vic Government’s short-sighted ban on gas
The Victorian Government’s foolish and short-sighted ban on gas in new homes will only push emissions higher and increase the risk of blackouts.
All Pain and No Gain
The Victorian Government’s foolish and short-sighted ban on gas in new homes will only push emissions higher and increase the risk of blackouts.
Forcing people off gas causes more brown coal to be burned in our aging power stations, while increasing the strain on an already-fragile energy grid. This is an indisputable fact that this government wilfully ignores in its blind, ideological pursuit of cheap ill-informed “Green” votes.
Stop being dishonest with Victorians. Stop denying the simple science that right now, in Victorian homes, electricity from brown coal is four times more emissions intensive than natural gas.
Stop using the cover of a righteous environmental pursuit and a climate emergency, to spread mistruths and lies.
The government is driving up emissions with this decision, not reducing emissions, and throwing Victorians out of the frying pan into the fire. Less gas equals more coal.
In backing her decision today, Minister D’Ambrosio claimed the gas sector represented 17 per cent of Victoria’s emissions, but ignored the fact that residential gas (the focus of this ban) represents less than two per cent of emissions. This is a gross deception by a minister desperately trying to justify a poor policy decision. Minister D’Ambrosio has also deviously played the financial fear card, referring to the big increases in gas costs, but ignoring the even bigger increases in electricity costs, which this year alone are in excess of 20 per cent.
We all recognise the need to transition away from fossil fuels. But the transition has to be carefully managed, not rushed. And it must be done in a way that steadily reduces emissions, not drives them up as this ban undoubtedly will.
Choice for Victorians, even within your own home, appears to be a threatened species.
How galling for a morally bankrupt State Government that has run Victoria’s economy into the ground, to now dictate how people live their lives, heat their homes and cook their meals.
This dangerous ideology is not only blind to logic and commonsense, it defies trends in Europe and North America where gas, far from being banned by zealots, is being embraced with a transition to renewable gas.

Are you bloody serious, Australian Universities are the left of the left...
So you reckon we should close them all down & be less educated?

Because cheating only happens at universities... NOT!
Cheating is now so rampant that uni degrees have become worthless

'Wasted experience': Does using AI undermine university degrees? - ABC listen
A University of Melbourne tutor has found that more than half her students used artificial intelligence to complete their first written assessment.

"There's a huge percentage that are not leaving [university] with any skills whatsoever," Dr Mindy MacLeod told Trevor Chappell on ABC Radio Melbourne.
"It's just been a wasted experience in all honesty."
That's what happens when consecutive governments at both State & Federal levels dick around with gas supplies, until things reach the point where they're all but running out.
Hahaha nice try lefty....The Australian power grid is in massive trouble because of the ALP/Greens headlong mad rush to renewables way way way way long before the infrastructure is available to power up Australia...if ever without a reliable firming source. batteries will never be capable of filling the shortfall so currently the fossil fuel gas is currently it. At least one lefty has common sense in NSW ALP Premier Chris Minns...just don't you dare run your dishwasher, clothes dryer etc after 3PM lest you get a blackout.
LOL University tutor Mindy McLeod doesn't agree and she's been very vocal on her students just this week re their learning .
