What would a Dutton Liberal leadership mean for the Liberals and the country?

[peetoo]

“Peter Dutton’s massive $331b move to slash bills”

ummm, ok

Makes you wonder why we don’t do it already if it’s so unambiguously good

My maths says $331 billion is approximately $12,730 per person in Australia. It is $31,520 per household.

And that is just to build the plant. And these calculations are made before the cost inevitably doubles - which it will.

How the **** is every household in Australia spending $31.5k EACH on building new plant + operating costs going to achieve lower energy prices? How?

What the hell is wrong with this country that anyone would take Dutton seriously?

Dutton is clearly a complete imbecile.

So Duttons proposal will likely cost Australia another 2 or 3 SRLs (east, north and west) which is apparently too expensive - than Labors greener proposal.

All so the Gina's of this world can extort coal and gas money for themselves for another couple of decades whilst they're still alive. At the same time as helping to screw future generations environment and living conditions.

You literally can't get more evil than this.

Fletcher has retired from politics and hinted that he wouldn't have won the seat of Bradfield, an independent is going to take it from them.
Nicolette Boele ran last election and only lost by 8%. There's also been a redistribution. Looks like Fletcher wasn't up for the fight.

Not many inner-city seats left for the LNP. That was the most inner-city they had left in Sydney.

Bulleen (Vic), Mt Gravatt (Qld) and Kogarah (NSW) would be the closest the LNP gets to the three capital cities.

Dutton, as representative of the new LNP politics, is showing how to completely turn off any inner-city voters.

Looks a lot more like a hung parliament coming up.

At state level they have Clayfield in Queensland which is much closer to the city. Mt Gravatt is in Mansfield which is a Labor electorate.

If labor voters in teal seats abandon labor, they’re voting teal. Should counteract any swing back to liberal, which would be a reversal of a ten year trend anyway.

They may even target a couple more seats too

Dutton is clearly a complete imbecile.

$331 Billion includes all the costs, including running and decommissioning.

Capital costs are $10,000 per kilowatt of capacity
Capital costs improve 1% per year based on conservative learning rates for repeated commissioning of a technology type
Variable and non-capital fixed costs of $30 per megawatt hour, including decommissioning costs.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

And we all know the Coalition's costings never balloon out

Just look at the NBN...

Secret figures reveal Coalition’s cut-down NBN tech three times more expensive than forecast

Exclusive: National broadband network ended up costing almost as much as estimated cost of full-fibre plan

www.theguardian.com

...oh

 

[Vindicater]

So let me get this straight.

The libs say that their plan will be 44% cheaper than Labor's.

But they also are saying people will use 45% less energy under the plan.

And he wants to run the county?

Well you're a little incorrect because the nuclear plan excludes WA, so exclude all the households and population west of Port Lincoln

My mistake. Dutton and the Australian media have numbed my brain.

So it is $14,390 per person - bloody hell

That’s only the half of it. Australia has something like 97% of the world’s uranium reserves, and if Gina “Django” Rinehart hasn’t got a fat swag of uranium leases in her top desk drawer I’d eat my hat.

You use a pickle as a dildo? The nuclear energy proposal is now the second weirdest thing I've read today.

I could understand say criticsm of the WTC and Acknowledgement thing which imo has gotten out of hand but him going for the flag is being a massive arsehat.

It's not that all. He's already a known racist with a particular bent for aboriginals, therefore there's no skin to be lost in pushing out a racist distraction. It was only done because the CSIRO laughed at his nuclear plan right on the eve of their great unveiling.

When Liberal donors really want something, Liberal politicians do it. They're who the party is for. Irrelevant how bad it makes the leader & party look.

Of the equivalent of what Elon Musk is worth...or thereabouts.

“We have to make the decisions that are in our country’s best interests, and it takes the strength of the Coalition to be able to do that because we’re better economic managers.”

Bit you’re actually not, Peter. That had been comprehensively debunked.

So if the voters can’t trust you to tell the truth on something as fundamental as that…

There’s a few issues will cause people to believe this though.

The cost of living crisis is evident throughout the majority of Australians. A lot simply aren’t educated enough and can’t differentiate that between Government economic management so I’m expecting that to be a line they push.

Victorian Labor I feel is massively on the nose and are without a doubt terrible economic managers. Again I’m expecting a fair subsection of people punishing the Feds based on the state Government and conflicting the two.

It may or may not be material but I think it’s definitely going to impact the result.

This is the end game for climate deniers. Nuclear power is the latest iteration of an argument that began twenty plus years ago with these same people refusing to even admit that man made climate change exists.

LOL - bunch of amateurs, and they expect us to believe they can run the country....

In 2044 the Liberals might actually go "well yea climate change is real and renewables are the answer but "insert some 2024 nonsense""
