They're getting nuclear waste under AUKUS.
Albanese signed the law a few months ago to allow the storage of nuclear waste in AUKUS bases.
So WA will get the waste, but none of the benefits (Dutton's plan doesn't involve nuclear for WA).
What would a Dutton Liberal leadership mean for the Liberals and the country?

Dutton already risking getting rooftop solar and battery owners offside. Comes up with a doozy.
Many of these people will be voters in his target seats

Our readers respond to Peter Dutton: We charge our EVs and home batteries with solar every day
Peter Dutton's claim that rooftop solar cannot charge an electric car and a home battery at the same time may be the dumbest thing said about EVs since Scott Morrison said they won't tow your boat. Our readers respond.

All he will do is send millions off grid when people realise the benefits of V2L …
Less people on the grid = prices ⬆

…. And why should people have to pay for an expensive grid when they are not connected to it? Via taxes???
How any LNP voter can support Dutton and his nuclear BS, when they are the supposedly protectors of the free market and less taxes !!!! Why do conservatives change their beliefs to suit themselves??
The LNP is truly the party of self interest.

Excellent response from someone who is a supporter of the Party of self interest.
The security of the power grid is at stake. We have 4 million people with rooftop solar and it is important to keep them on the grid, to help pay for the grid.
Do you think it’s a good idea to make the grid so useless that no one wants to be on it?

Peter Dutton verbatim quote:
"So think about it this way, if you’ve got solar panels on your house at home, and you’re charging up your car during the day, you can’t store energy into your battery."
“You can’t, you can’t add the energy at the same time to your car, into your battery at home. And so this is why their system is being over built so dramatically, and this is a cost that’s already been passed on to consumers now.”
And here I am thinking Angus Taylor and Dan Tehan are the most out of their depth members of the Coalition front bench...

Speaking in Adelaide shortly after the MYEFO briefing, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton would not be drawn into how a Coalition Budget would be different.
“We’ll make announcements in relation to our programs closer to the election. It’ll be dependent on the economic circumstances,” Mr Dutton said.
“There’s some spending which is necessary, but there’s a lot of spending which the Government has created, which is what has driven inflation.
“Labor always taxes and spends, and then when they run out of money they tax more and when they continue to spend, they drive up inflation and that’s part of the problem.”
In contrast, Dr Chalmers said during a cost-of-living crisis, citizens deserved to rely on government support.
“I think the Australian people have a right to expect a decent level of services, whether it’s aged care, Medicare, early childhood education, the care economy, more broadly,” he said.
“This is beginning to become an increasingly important part of our economy as our population ages in particular. That’s just the reality of the way that our country and how the demographics of our country is changing.”
Didn’t inflation rise most under a coalition govt? Were they ‘taxing and spending?, hell yes

Given the announcement was crafted by the coal and gas lobbies Dutton never has to think at all does he
They have delivered two budget surpluses you moron bellend (referring to Dutton). The way the media run around repeating this idiots endless bullshit is infuriating.

Well yes. It's a complete joke.

Yep and doing the work for foreign companies that profit from our fossil fuels.
Yep. As outlined in my post the day his coatings came out, it’s true that they were based on an independent document produced by an economics consultancy that is not aligned with the Coalition. But it was the Coalition and specifically Dutton who cherry picked that document to write their policy.
Dutton is 100% responsible for what he released and in the form it was released as part of HIS centre piece energy policy.
And specifically the assumptions underpinning it.
No amount of duck shoving now it’s been widely condemned can change that.
