Renewables are cheap. So why isn’t your power bill falling?- conversation Transmission lines are expensive but this article does not address the huge cost of battery storage. Be great to see a comparison of ALL costs

Interesting read in @EDAustralia journal written by @ArcherJack on winning the battle for workers in #regional Australia 👇 viewer.joomag.com/eda-journal-vo…

Four times each year the RBA reaches peak stupid by re-setting the cash rate the day BEFORE it gets access to a new set of national accounts Like yesterday clubtroppo.com.au/2012/06/13/the…

Evening of humiliation for the nation and the PM. Swearing fealty to a foreign king is a pathetic scene. Time for a republic is long overdue #democracynotmonarchy #ausrepublic

@DavidPocock @SuburbZeroACT No Uriarra or Uriarra Village on the list???

Thanks to everyone who came along to the launch of @SuburbZeroACT. A crowd this big on a Friday night shows just how much interest there is! A pilot like this can show the rest of the country, and the world, just what's possible.

@peters_malcolm We have a device in our car that has the green tyre sealer and a little pump to get you out of trouble. No help if you really shred a tyre but should do the job for usual puncture.

Modern cars are ditching the spare tyre which is costing Australians time and money Extremely dangerous for woman if they get a flat driving home from town 100k from home. With amount of cars stolen and touched in country towns they have to be left on side road.

@NGruen1 Great interview. Down with group think!

Groupthink is the enemy and the review's recommendations are welcome, but not up to the magnitude of the problem Me on the RBA Review abc.net.au/news/programs/…

@NGruen1 Vale

John Kerrin has just died The man who got sacked from being Federal Treasurer for his refusal to bullshit. When a journo asked when the recession would end, he said "Your guess is as good as mine" The echo chamber of Insiders did not approve and Treasurer Kerrin was no more …

@peters_malcolm Consultation is a vital part of recognition. The argument that it shouldn't be supported because it might not be perfect is a classic argument used by those who oppose change but don't want to be upfront on why. e.g en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_f… Parliament has power to improve it.

The voice has 2 important parts. Recognition I think all agree on. Consultation- undecided people want to know how this consultation will be more effective than extensive existing. Those who understand machinery of Government query how this will work better. Not symbolic

@JulianCribb @peters_malcolm The specific proposed words for the constitution are included in this Guardian article... theguardian.com/australia-news…

@peters_malcolm If it is a constitutional change, what is the wording of the new constitutional clause? Or do we have to have another referendum on that?

An insightful history and assessment of the current state of @ozprodcom. @JohnQuiggin it seems a change of name, ideology and intent similar to the 1970's Tarriff Board transformation is now well overdue?open.substack.com/pub/johnquiggi…
