China's demand for power is increasing more than any other country, given they are coming off a low base per capita.

Some keep mentioning that they are increasing their coal power, which is true... but they also have one of the biggest increase in renewables too, including solar.

Murray is a conspiracy theory specialist.

Which is why he posts under so many different usernames.

You keep calling other posters who call out your conspiracy theories "sick creeps".

Ironic, as clearly you are rather unstable mentally.

You are so embarrassed by your own postings Muzza, you use different usernames. Guess helps with your likes.

This is a football site & not meant to post conspiracy garbage. Leave that for your other buddies.

It feels weird watching the Left take the moral high ground while they defend perverts in girls changerooms.

No I'm not. I'm more than willing to climb down into the sewer with them and "trade blows". The "pistols at dawn" doesn't apply when dealing with these crazies. Don't ever underestimate the damage that their deranged ideologies have done to our societies and our children. **** being respectful, they don't deserve our respect.

Typical lies from you.

No one in their right mind supports perverts... yet it's the likes of you Muzza who keeps raising this in a politics thread. I never see you on the crime board. Funny that as you wouldn't last long!

You really are a weird unit.

You are permanently in the sewer!

Most of the rest of us have no interest in posting at your pathetic gutter trash levels.

There is plenty of robust discussion on this board, but most don't feel the need to be be crass personal when they disagree with another poster.

You really should read the BF rules as you keep breaking them.

NSW minister apologises after asking chauffeur to drive 446km for Australia Day weekend lunch​


The NSW transport minister, Jo Haylen, has apologised after using her ministerial driver to chauffeur her and some friends to and from a three-hour private lunch on the Australia Day weekend – at a cost of $750.

“I made the wrong decision,” Haylen said on Sunday when apologising and confirming she would repay the money for the 13-hour, 446km trip to the Hunter Valley.
Asked why she didn’t just book an Uber, the minister told reporters: “In retrospect, I should have.”

The logbook shows on 25 January the trip started at 8am and ended at 8.50pm and was coded as a “business trip during working day”. The ministerial car reportedly drove from Sydney to pick up Haylen at her holiday house at Caves Beach – almost 100km north of the city. She and five others, including close friend and fellow minister Rose Jackson, were then ferried to the restaurant at Brokenwood Wines in Pokolbin. The car later took them back to Caves Beach before the driver returned to Sydney. Ministerial cars and drivers can be used for private purposes under the rules in NSW.
On Sunday, Haylen said her actions were within the existing guidelines but were not appropriate and did not meet the “pub test”.

“Look, we did have a long lunch and we did drink and eat … the question is how we got to and from the lunch and we got that wrong. I got that wrong,” she said.
The Coalition had called for Haylen and Jackson to resign or for the premier, Chris Minns, to sack them. Minns said using a chauffeur for a private lunch was “clearly unacceptable”.

“It’s not on for drivers to be used in this way,” the Labor leader said on Sunday. “I’ve asked the Cabinet Office to provide advice on changing the guidelines so this can’t happen again.”

‘Last throw of the dice for the parliament’: PM predicted to call an early election​


Former Labor minister Graham Richardson has predicted the upcoming sitting fortnight will be the “last throw of the dice” for parliament.

This comes amid growing speculation Prime Minister Anthony Albanese could call an early election for April if the Reserve Bank of Australia decides to cut interest rates this month.

“I think there will be an election campaign, so this is it, this is the last throw of the dice for the parliament,” Mr Richardson told Sky News Australia.

I’m not really sure if having an election in April is an early election - the parliament will have gone for 2 years and 11 months.

Reckon the government will go to the election on either May 10th/May 17th.

Why would you not wait for inflation number in late April, which will see both the core and headline rate within the 2-3% band?

You also have to consider which Saturday in April - both 19th and 26th are out because of Easter and Anzac Day whilst 12th is the beginning of school holidays in a number of States so that leaves the Saturday 5th April.

Normally 33 days from writs to election day so of it was to be the 5th then it would need to be called around the 3rd March but WA goes to the election on the 8th March so I doubt Albanese is going to call a Federal Election whilst a State Election is still in progress.

Now I could be wrong but think Richardson hasn’t thought it totally thru.

It can swing either way. If the international trade war escalates in the next couple of weeks strong governments coming out to condemn Trump and take measures to protect the local economy could play favourably with the electorate. So everything could be delayed.
