Might as well put this up in the politics subforum, to spare the front page. It's 18 months away or so, but here we go.

This is how Dutton wins:

Dutton is unelectable. A dreadful character. He won't get in unless Labor does something catastrophic. They've been pretty good so far. Calm and balanced with a few minor hiccups here and there. They deserve another term.

U maybe right and Voldey is unelectable ?

Maybe the Electorate do agree and think that Labor and Albo appear Calm and Balanced ?

That They have been pretty good , so far and they deserve another chance , to do the same ?

Or , maybe , they are feeling something Catastrophic is unfolding , with our current Energy Transition Plan and are wanting a Change in the Other direction ?

We will find out .

When Bill Shorten lost and unlooesable election , franking credits got a lot of the the blame .

He lost the Election in Queensland !

I believe it was this heartland saying , give us jobs and cheap electricity .

I really hope Dutton Differentiates his Coalition away from the Current Energy Transition Plan that we all know , is not working .

Maybe , like Trump , they offer an alternative and Win in a Landslide ?

If Dutton loses , Albo will get a good reminder , fix the fn Problem !

Hey Salty

Just saw your note and thanks again .

There are more options of consumers of Energy to consider and it would help a lot , to help consumers understand their options and rights , to Energy purchasing .

You are so cool to have worked it out imho .

Changing a provider of Energy , Telecommunications and Banking is a hassle , for many people .

Luckily , I can afford my bills .

As a SUM , Australian Businesses and Consumers have seen Electricity Prices explode , over the last 20 years .

I can see NO action , by ANYONE , that will stop this happening .

So , think it's time for a change .

Anyone who watched Nemesis on our ABC , now understand it was Turnbull , Morrison and Bishop , who had the numbers in the Liberal Party .

Abbott was just a figure head , to be used to Stop the Boats and then to be Man Thrown Overboard , at the very first opportunity , in his FIRST term ffs !

Abbott never Lead a United Party and was stupid to ever give Turnbull a job .

Apart from Stopping the Boats and getting Rose Batty to be Australian of the Year , he had no influence , on his government .

Morrison was a the snake in the Grass .

The really nasty and dangerous one .

Gets so close 2 u and fn stabs U in the back .

Worst PM EVER and a fn disgrace imho .

Dutton looks like he can lead a United Party and Coalition and can spot snakes .

Hahaha... Dutton Potato Head or the Young Spud. Yeah he's real pm material... the ex-cop who allegedly enjoyed beating up the Koori kids... Just another private school wanker who was probably bullied then became a cop... Power hungry nothing of a man pathetic idiot.

But hey, he's learnt how to smile and the glasses give him a facade of respectability while a fascist fukwit lurks beneath.

I think it is so cool that Dutton is willing to Nuclear the Energy debate .

Anyone thought about where the nuclear power plants would go? On the coast (for water use), near urban centres (for staffing and power distribution). Howard's task force recommended 25 power plants (France, with the most per capita, has 53 reactors). There are some places that may seem obvious: Port Pirie and NW WA for example, but I reckon even there we'd see significant opposition.

It's easy to say nuclear on paper, but considering the locations is another story. Then there's also the ten years+ lead time - which is another reason it's easy for Dutton to give nuclear the thumbs up. Hypothetically speaking, if it gets the green light it'll be someone else's problem.

In football they call it a hospital pass, in politics they call it a clever ruse, on forums they call it cool.

Whatever China has done , it HAS secured it's Energy Needs during their Transition to Renewables .

As I mentioning they are still building Coal Plants and have agreements with Australian Coal companies to keep supplying them with this fossil fuel .

Even the Chinese people would revolt , if their Electricity prices doubled .

They are also the World Leader with Renewables and have all the Rare Earths necessary , to keep their dominant position in this technology .

Most people around the world are struggling with Cost of Living .

There needs be a debate , jobs and cheap energy OR Less CO2 ?

Maybe we should follow China's lead ?

We have the Resource's to do it .

Build EVERYTHING , except nuclear and Secure OUR Energy Future .

I find Dutton pushing the Nuclear thing weird and just dumb politics.

It's just not going to win any new voters and more likely to just put many people off, because no matter how good or reliable Nuclear is nobody will want a plant near them because people in Australia have been brainwashed to fear Nuclear and even fear the tiny amount of waste that can easily be stored safely.

Plus the economics on Nuclear just don't stack up unless heavily subsidised by the government, so even if it made or makes sense as part of a smart solution to reducing green house emissions it's kind of pointless to explore.

Instead we will just continue to rely on a 100% renewables dream which in reality is going to most likely be renewables backed up by a large number of gas peaking plants (Aust already has over 50) expert's say gas peaking plants will support renewables until at least 2050. (As mentioned in the ABC podcast last or second last episode of Australia if your listening)

Australia is highly respected for its nuclear scientists and institutions e.g. Australian Nuclear Science & Technology Organisation.

How much will 1 kWh cost me when we move to the so called 100% renewable future? That’s all I need to know but it’s so hard to find an answer to that. All this ‘research’ is just muddying the waters.

As Sypky said , Albo looks great , compared to Morrison .

Pete has little chance 2 knock Albo off ( his own Party ? ) .

Energy Transition is at a Pivotal Moment World Wide .

Renewables have now been part of the system , where their impact is being felt .

The Rubber is hitting the proverbial Road of our Electricity prices and it's hurting all around the world ( except China ) .

I wondered what made Morrison go Gaga , and take on Every Ministry , at the end .

Nemesis showed me he was a c..t , from the very start .

Like Trump , Albo is following in the steps of the Worst Leader in a Countries History .

Surely , he couldn't lose :)

I took odds on Trump at 4 to 1 , wouldn't bet on Pete becoming PM at those odds , no way .

From posted article.

Number of global small modular reactor projects 2022, by capacity and status
Published by
Madhumitha Jaganmohan
, Jan 10, 2024
Three small modular reactors (SMRs) were operational in 2022, located in Russia, China, and India. Three more were under construction, while 65 SMRs were still in the design stage. Most of them had a capacity of between 100 and 300 megawatts.
What are SMRs?
SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors with a capacity generally smaller than 300 megawatts. Their construction is expected to be both quicker and more cost-effective than other nuclear reactors. SMRs have higher spatial adaptability and are safer because of their small size and simplified design. They also need to be refueled less frequently. As such, SMR technology would have a global impact on the economy, energy security, and transition.

Current status of SMRs
In practice, the implementation of SMRs has been on hold for years. Since SMR projects are not standardized, and designing and licensing processes are country-dependent, new reactors would not be operative before 2030. The estimated capital costs for SMRs are proving to be unexpectedly high: SMRs' levelized costs of electricity (LCOE) could be over 100 U.S. dollar per megawatt hour compared to around 30 U.S. dollars for solar and wind energy.

Jesus @Pop, you are flooding the zone with shit today.FMD.
I'm not supposed to be here, Doctors orders, got a detached retina in my right eye and not supposed to be looking at screens before the op. But have to make an exception for you and this fountain of crapola you've been spurting. Really only logged on to check the swell.
Nuclear? Yesterday saw a coordinated zone flood of "nuke is the future" shit from LNP HQ themselves, again, and it looks like you, and plenty of others no doubt, ate it up with a spoon.
Here's my tip for you. Never going to happen, just a diversion campaign from the fossil fuel barons and their LNP/MSM mouthpieces to keep kicking the coal and gas can down the road. A fake Newspoll, then they wheeled out the pencil necked teenage wanna be Young Liberal nuke booster geek again to back the bullshit in with his "young people want Nuclear" bullshit, then fed it out to the shock jocks, "news" desks and robber baron owned broadsheet editors to do their thing and it got high rotation right through the cycle.
Probably more to do with Twiggy, who they think of as a turncoat, doing some home truthing at the NPC and the Dunkley by election this week than anything about energy. It's the go to diversion and smokescreen for the LNP atm when Dutton's criminal neglect of his past portfolio responsibilities gets air or they remember they've got nothing else in the cupboard and the old lines and lies aren't getting enough traction.
SMR's don't exist, never will probably, the only company stupid enough to spend a motza trying to develop them had to walk away and cop the loss, couldn't do it. It's a lie, a furphy, a dream wish. Great idea on paper, great heap of shit to flood the zone and titillate the idiots with in reality. A bit like capturing and storing carbon, although there have been some laboratory successes with that I've seen recently, they put it in rocks believe it or not. But still, only in a lab, nothing to scale to match the omissions, probably impossible to scale anything up to deal with that. Another diversion that got a good run for years, that they wanted the budget to fund, and it did for a while, that went nowhere and was never going to happen.
So you're talking about a large baseload reactors. 10 to 20 years to research, build and get online and the most expensive power option on the table by a country mile. Never going to happen, now, or ever here. No private money would be stupid enough to capitalise one, so it's the taxpayer that would fund it. Dutton could win the next election and be the longest serving LNP PM in history and they would never build even one. Would send the budget broke. He knows that, they all know that.
It's just a diversion and fluff from a party bereft of any talent or policy that are simply there to protect the interests of the 1% and grift whatever they can themselves, the only thing they are actually any good at.
As for "Julie Bishop had the numbers", you are kidding there too. She threw her hat in the ring when Abbott was forced to spill because he was such a fkn idiot he was pissing away the biggest majority they'd had in yonks with lunacy like giving away knighthoods to the people who give away knighthoods and eating raw onions on camera like some weird right wing George Costanza. What you see in that fucking waste of space dolt I'm fucked if I know.
But Julie got so few numbers in the first round of the spill, could be counted on one hand, that she threw a (fashionable) hissy fit and quit the party for good, moving on to her old bag modelling career and cushy Uni cash grab job and lately been doing a pretty good impersonation of Brain Mannix the last time I saw her on TV. She was a seat warmer, got the Deputy job time and again because she was no threat to anybody. Her main achievement as Foreign Minister was"fashion diplomacy", a taxpayer funded international jaunt that was just an excuse to get herself free designer gear, hobnob with movie stars and celebs and get photographed in the fashion pages with her latest manbag. Remember Dave Panton? We used to smoke bongs with him in the small caf at Monash in the late 70's, Peninsula boy,he used to carry around his own bong made out of one of those old glass oil containers with the yellow pourers. He was one of her manbags, did pretty well for himself in business, and got one of the contracts during Covid for masks or test kits or something I remember, so doing the gnarly business with Julie paid off for him it seems.
Anyway, could go on, more piqued my interest in your latest little diatribes, but not really supposed to be doing this so I'm going. But just warn you again not to go poking the bear that is Stu on his own website, the last time ended in tears remember. Be nice, like me (hehe) when you come here, you've been doing that well since you came back. Got yourself a fanbase even. Just a bit of unsolicited advice from your old mate.
You are a classic that's for sure, and pretty funny, as you always were, but sheesh the shit can flow when you get going from where I sit. Maybe you see me the same. I dunno, swings and roundabouts. Who cares really, it's all just a bit of fun, mostly.
Go get some more waves tomorrow, should be on again, better use of your retirement than coming here. Don't bother to reply, I know what you will probably say anyway. I'm not reading anymore of these threads for a while, maybe it's these things that have torn my eye's innards and will send me blind if I'm not more careful. Maybe it's just old age catching up. Neither are doing me any good it seems.

Dutton has said it and it’s not disputed by those in the know that his 1st priority is to keep the coalition united and thus far he has been pretty successful.

Successful but only from an internal coalition standpoint … which leads to the reasonable question is what is good for a united coalition good for the country? In this instance the answer is an overwhelming NO.

Dutton pushing nuclear doesn’t make sense for the vast majority of Australians however when you need to keep the good ole boy LNP parliamentarians from QLD and the Nationals more generally happy pushing nuclear makes perfect sense (and we all know who owns the QLD LNP and Nationals).

So the climate wars continue with the QLD LNP and Nationals tail wagging the Liberal Party dog same as it always has with the LNP even further away from regaining the Teal seats and government.

I personally expected the LNP to implode after the last election given the internal divisions but I guess too many moderates lost their seats for that to happen but it could happen after the next election if they get equally savaged by the electorate, here’s hoping:)

morrison tried trumpy, dutton giving it a go... but they are clueless amateurs...

so much so, I'd say morrison's little trumpy efforts did him more harm than good

trump appealed across the divide, these clowns don't know how...

ttump even tapped the bernie bros.

that is the key to contemporay political success

morrison and dutton are either unwilling or incapable of this...

that's not to say dutton won't steal large swathes of the working class and win

but that's more about an aloof and out of touch albo than anything dutton is doing

which is a bit hilary...

Hey Adam 12

Not sure whose post u read , but I said two or three times this morning that Nuclear Energy , is not going to happen in my fn life time in Australia .

Never going 2 put 1 next 2 u for U 2 work at ( Homer fn Simpson comes 2 mind ) .

I did say it was politically smart of Dutton , to put it on the table .

Just like Texas sending Immigrants to NYC , get it ?

I am a big fart and want gas , how about a Gas Power Station , or are U still a Wind Bag ?

Bishop hates Tony . Stupid Shrek came up with the Worst fn First Budget for a new fn Prime Minister .

No one was working FOR TA and he ran a Government that took no notice of him .

Your mate Turn Coat should have stayed Labor .

So , most of what U wrote was a waste of time but always good to hear from you :)

Just surfed the same , unmentionable spot , Portsea , in board shorts and rashy .

Ugly sight , for sure .

I pointed out that Pete , like Donny , is an underdog .

Trump had NFI about politics when he first ran .

Comparing Morrison to anyone , in Australian Politics , is ridiculous .

He is the worst Ever , think Hitler !!!

Dutton made a better policeman than Albo as a bank teller….
that was Albos only real job and only lasted for one year.
Neither should be prime minister. Neither have relevant life experience.
Also , nether listen to the will of the people.

Hey Optimy

Actually not sure what Life Experience U think a Great Politician needs .

Remember , the Money is terrible , for an Extraordinary person .

I probably come across too hard on our Pollies , as I am disappointed with the US .

Generally , I respect them ALL !

The percentage of Stockbrokers who don't Care about their Clients money , is MUCH higher than Pollies who don't Care about the People of Australia .

It's a hard job , that I definitely could not do , for long .

Turnbull , like Trump are not Career Pollies .

I thought Trump ran as an ADD and fn got in against a SURE thing .

Hilary thought she was going to be the first Female President , as did everyone else .

Tulsi sees that Trump is now in it to win it , 4 The USA .

He spent a million in lawyers fees this year , 4 the rite .

I started in a shit job , a teller sounds cool .

Hard to excel as a Fish and Chip shop owner or Police Person .

I read Dutton started as a cop but had a bad accident on the job , so left and put himself through Uni .

Started a Building business with his dad and built Child Care Centres .

Eddie Groves , a great guy , started buying Child Care Centres and listed the business on the market . He was given money by the Market to Buy everything so the Duttons sold and made great money .

Eddie became the King of Child Care in Australia and the Market loved him .

Fn US Advisers said they could make him King of the US .

He went broke .

All real Polly's , even Dan , deserves respect and to be listen 2 , imho .

The Politicians who become Leaders , are usually extraordinary , as its a ruthless Career .

The job is not given to anyone , U have 2 take it from other team members !

Morrison IS an exception , he was too bad .

I don't respect Turnbull and NOT a Career Polly .

Dutton , like Dan , has my respect and has earnt the rite 2 be heard imho .

Dan did a lot of things I didn't like , but the people liked him .

I haven't heard on SN ONE thing he has done that I don't like .

So far , in Pops eyes , Perfect Pete :)

Good on him , I really hope he and Albo don't STUFF anything BIG , Up !

That would be great !

Our transition to the use of other Energy sources is Out Of Control imho , Stu .

I think U are saying , just do more of the same ?

Our Electricity Bills are really holding Australia back and causing our Cost of Living to skyrocket .

Australia is loosing its competitiveness every day .

What are we DOING NOW to address this urgent issue ?

A Royal Commission into Electricity costs should be held NOW .

All these things are of Extreme National Interest .

Even if a ruse , Dutton , has lead 2 our discussion Stu .

I have noted SN all hates Pete , that's why I started closely looking at him lol .

Not ONE of the many people I have debated have pointed out one Pink Batts type f up !

I love that U all think he has NO chance and NFI .

That he is some Fairytail Character out of Happy Potter , a Minnie Vanilla lol .

Voldemort might prove ALL u wrong .

The people , the working class all will listen to him and Albo , debate before the next election .

I remember when everyone said the same about Trump .

He became a President and even he , didn't think it was possible .

Pops.

We all have to ask ourselves, why do we need so much energy per person in this country?
We don’t have to look far to find the answer!!!!

We have the greatest thermonuclear reactor known, it’s above our heads , develop technologies to use it to its greatest paragon. AW

27th Feb 2024 : Scomo's Farewell to Democracy Speech!

#1 swellnet exclusive exposes another undemocratic electoral anomaly!
Be thankful for Oz non voters playing their part in mind numbing 100% Political neutral analysis!

You bet, this howler blasts away all other tbb exclusives...Blew his own mind with just one sniff!

ABC Nemisis is a Red Herring that draws in Voters to lap up last lucky roll of the democratic dice!
Whole of the Country is fixated on same intense brutal pressure point altering the course of history.

But Why focus on that...Nemesis never once mentioned $50b NBN blowout or other (Wallflowers!)
Coz Political Parties are hiding the real truth in plain sight...so wot are they hiding tbb!
+
How & Why the Fuck would the swellnet non voter pretend to give a shit about such...said again!
Ok! So crew are pretty smart ...tbb has no answer for that > Still sweating on the big stuff!

Coz since { Nemesis } > Australian Political Parties never once again spilt blood on the dance floor.
Cue the Track...

Parties now bypass democracy to Parachute Drop vetted Autocratic Leaders!
Welcome to Aunties Reality TV Sequel [ Autocrats! ]

Not one has the Support or confidence from just one Party Member!

All just Parachute from the Sky during Covid to land in our National Cabinet Star Chamber!
No one says a word...Anonymous Ai Star Chamber glistens before you...from who knows where?

You Voters better say something equally as fucked up to yer Kidz to explain this Alien invasion!

Ah, didn't realize. Have been at work and only just saw your post. And thanks Andy.
The key points are in the last paragraph of Andy's post. Cost per kWh is 330% higher than solar. People aren't doing it. As for your esrlier question, why the ban? When the industry can devise a safe method to dispose of reuse the waste, then lift it. Until then it should stay. The peak industry body saying what they do is peachy is not good enough evidence.
