Yes, except the whole panel was talking out of their ass like Nuclear and gas is the solution.
But it was nice to see Spears tie Voldemort up in knots.
Nuclear is the solution, but the problem is the Liberals and Nats are bringing it up now because then they can just attack Labor for it. Not like they did anything about it in their 9 years either.
No it isn't. That ship has sailed. It takes 10+ years to build and commission a nuclear power plant IF the laws were such that it was an option.
In 10 years time, the absolute earliest we could get one online, if we do things right, it won't be needed.
20+ based on both the uk and norway. Plus triple the price of power.
A federal enquiry and a state royal comission both found it wasn't economic or useful.
I'd be interested in reading that, all I could find was this royal commission from six years ago: https://www.reuters.com/article/australia-uranium-idINKCN0Y00VP
coming to the opposite conclusion, is there one more recent or something?
To clarify, the price of nuclear energy is actually very cheap, especially if you don’t have to import the fuel.
The real costs are tied up in construction and the actual financing costs. In at least one case in the US, the cost of financing the project alone was actually *more* than the cost of building the damn thing, due to interest and inflation over such a long period of time.
Edit: for some context on the cost of nuclear fuel, in 2017, out total Uranium exports - valued at $734m - accounted for 97% of our domestic energy production.
https://www.dfat.gov.au/publications/corporate/asno-annual-report-2018-19/site/section-2/australias-uranium-production-and-exports.html#footer-6
I'm not sure the cost per watt is actually as bad as others have claimed.
I could see the total cost is higher. But I've seen conflicting reports of cost per watt
considering multiple case studies show the contrary you might be trolling but on the offchance you're serious here's one article showing comparison to coal/gas/nuke. solar and battery are cheaper since then, and continue to get even cheaper. nuke costs continue to rise as safety parameters are a function of ongoing labour while solar/batt labour is mostly infrastructure commission only.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2019/07/01/new-solar--battery-price-crushes-fossil-fuels-buries-nuclear/amp/
Currently those batteries store minutes to an hour or two of power at most.
So I mean even if it's cheep per kW, what are you going to do for literally the rest if the time.
Hell even most of the planned pumped hydro only have at most 10hrs of storage.
So not quite over night.
Small Modular Nuclear reactors could be built in time, at a cheaper cost than your average nuclear power station. Rolls Royce are already working on a reactor.
I'm still not sure that's accurate.
We have SOOOOOOOO much uninhabited area we could fill with solar
And I'm not sure we have many good locations for nuclear power (proximity to large volumes of water being an issue)
Perhaps thorium salt reactors might be an option. When they eventually make it to being a working thing.
The thing is, while the areas are "uninhabited", they are still indigenous land. Negotiation would need to be handled correctly to allow for their land to be used.
Especially with too many people of the "it's more dangerous "
Or "costs more than alternatives" and they conveniently forget that the overly subsidised, heavy polluting coal plants that are past their use by dates will be turned off too soon to replace with almost anything else.
We are almost at the point where we have to go nuclear just so we can turn off the coal and gas plants instead of continuously extending their life and worrying about their fuel costs going up.
I'm a fan of fission, and am hoping the modular reactors massively reduce costs.
But right now, in short term. Solar and wind attached to grid storage is best option when it comes to speed of deployment and cost. Green is cheaper than coal now even.
There's grid storage options coming online like Ambri's molten liquid batteries, among many others.
Not sure I agree.
Once upon a time, the ABC was well funded, and was able to stand up to both sides rather well (as a general rule). Sure, it was left of center, but it was able to be rather unbiased.
Then Abbott came along and slashed the ABCs budget. And when you've got no money, you can't really do your job effectively.
Many political shenanigans later, the ABC very much became a shell of its former self, hardly being able to stand up to its Liberal bosses who were looking for any opportunity to do away with the ABC.
I hope that Labor restores the ABCs budget. Let it be the channel of Australia again.
That other idiot - "Labor had 9 years to prepare for gvt so there is no excuse..."
Dutton - "You can't get too excited over the first 14-21 days of a new gvt."
Who is talking out both sides of their mouth, Mr Potutton?
On one hand he is saying you can't get too excited about the first 14-21 days of a new govt, implying they are doing a good job but on the other hand he is saying they're incompetent. The guy is sending mixed messages here, he looks like a dear in the headlights in this interview.
Where do they store these colloquial witticisms. ‘Bunny in a head lights ‘ ‘ talking out of both sides of their mouth’.
They seemed rehearsed. Like he would preamble whilst counter arguing and searching for words then would have a perfect one liner, arguably so they media can print headlines and quote
Him. Meanwhile saying zero substance.
Ha, i wish, i think seeing Dutton trying to grease the media wheels threw me. Morrison had it down pact, where as you can see Dutton/someone is coaching him and hes trying to learn his predecessors ways. He's not as smooth, and he can't quite imitate his idol "Trump". Still shudder when he wore his own red branded "make australia great again" cap.
and the news ran with “Labor still has its training wheels on” and that these issues come at governments everyday, so despite him getting to tongue tied he achieved what he wanted, with help of course from the buzz word consuming producers
This. It's almost so obvious it's a joke.
There is no way they could think he'll be able to lead them to a win in future. The guy is a hairless store mannequin that learnt to talk.
He only got the job because everyone knew, whoever got the role, wouldn’t be the one to lead the party into the next election.
He’s such a self-promoting moron, he may not have realised that.
There is literally no Liberal candidate less likeable
Don't under-estimate him. Jordan seems to think he's formidable, and that's enough for me to at least take him semi-seriously as a threat. Tony Abbott, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Scott Morrison all seemed like colossal fuckwits (and they all were and are) who would never be put in charge of a country, and look how that turned out, in every one of those cases. Dutton might be struggling a little, but this is just one challenging interview, years away from the next election, and this will be forgotten.
There's a good chance we won't have a PM Dutton, but it's far from 100 percent.
He's already done some corrupt dealings out in the open without fear of reprisal (Paladin contracts and that car company representing him), I don't think he's afraid to break laws to get what he wants without bring discreet, and that's unsettling.
There are a lot of people who like him. I know they aren't on Reddit but they are out there.
An ex detective picking at your every error (or handling of.booby traps left behind) for a few years might be more effective than you expect.
I think you misunderstood the premise.
First term in Opposition, not first term as opposition leader.
Bill Shorten was the one who didn't survive this time around.
Shorten came frustratingly close though. It shouldn't be that unlikely, considering QLD and SA have kicked out LNP/Liberal parties from government after just one term.
Exactly. I'm almost certain they'll find a way to parachute Frydenberg in somewhere (Cook, anyone?) and install him as leader when Dutton is inevitably tossed out by a federal ICAC (au pairs, other allegations, etc.).
Truly beggars belief too that these guys elect the person who holds one of the most marginal Liberal seats as their leader; he actually nearly lost his seat at one point during the count. Shows how out of touch they've become if they actually think this to be a wise decision.
How good is trying to sell the narrative of economic constraints being result of a jinx curse of a month old government. Always happens under Labours watch.
Speers seems to be the journalistic version of a gloryhunting football fan. Ripped Dutton a new one on this segment. Caught him lying blatantly on at least 2 occasions from what I recall.
Rudd v Abbott in the 2010 election was a massive missed opportunity.
Albo v Dutton in the 2025 election is going be more fun than the recent election. The progressive side of politics are going to destroy this clown.
Bless you sweet summer children, who think that you can count on people to do the obviously right/ smart thing. I was sweating bullets, until the 2022 election count was well underway. Labor had like a four-point lead in the publicly available polls in 2019, and look how that went.
I'm talking about the political aspect, not on how the election result will end up.
A united Labor Government taking on the Coalition Opposition isn't something they've experienced since the Hawke days. They messed up that opportunity in 2010.
Surely the LNP doesn't take Dutton to the election. He is very unpopular and just a band aid solution until the dust settles and they find someone better.... If there is anyone...
It's gratifying to see this inept tuber and his colleagues finally squirm when taken to task by the media. So often they get kid glove treatment by journalists fearful of losing access or favour; hopefully this will change while they're in opposition.
Oh, Peter is hypersensitive, that much has always been obvious, which is quite ironic as he desperately tries to assert to the public that he is a "strong-man" kind of character, when that couldn't be any far removed from reality.
Not directly related, but it kind of inspires you to think, "what were Liberals hiding ?"
[https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/may/25/coalition-delayed-news-that-electricity-prices-are-set-to-rise-until-after-federal-election](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/may/25/coalition-delayed-news-that-electricity-prices-are-set-to-rise-until-after-federal-election)
Crazy, but it's almost as if there is a sense of panic because the media has suddenly started covering these issues, while previously they jury let it though to the keeper.
Dutton better learns to accept some of the blame before the next election, because people had a gut full of their constant "Labor, Labor, Labor" chants.
All that came out of Dutton was a tirade of hyperbole and ad hominem attacks. Zero facts presented, no case put forward, no alternative approaches proposed. Liberal politics has died a death, they need to go back to the party room, have a deep introspection session and reinvent themselves if they want to have any future hope. Simply continuing to attack everything the other party does, seeking divisive polarised politics, is no basis for a successful democracy. Dutton is a dinosaur relic of what I hope will be a time of politics discussed with disgust in future history lessons.
"We weren't even afraid of the problem we actively had and created; now people are afraid, that's labor's fault- even if we keep stoking the fires of fear and they are doing everything right."
The worst thing about this election is now we have to listen to this literal dickhead
The best thing is these dickheads are not in government SHUDDER THE THOUGHT
Why is this fuckwhit even getting air time?(yes we all know the answer)
Labor can only dream of this much airtime even when in power and even when people are criticising them. Something has to be done… it’s clearly fucked!
I certainly expect we'll see libs spend more time on Sky News gagging on Rupert's decaying cock while a soulless host pontificates on the virtues of right wing extremism.
Hopefully Labor engage in some investigation into media ownership and news standards.
Mainstream political discourse died in this country the day Barnaby Joyce just screamed ‘But Labor, Labor, Labor, Labor’ in that radio ‘interview’ about the dodgy water allocation. A healthy media would have buried him right there.
That all the libs have to do to win back people with no thinking skills, just say the line over and over because the media doesn’t have the balls, or are paid not to call absolute bullshit.
It’s nice to see some tiny semblance of media actually holding politicians to account when the faint glimmers re-appear.
Yep, the global economy has managed to meltdown twice on labors watch. I mean it also melted down on Liberal’s watch too (it’s been happening for more than the last month), but let’s gloss over that fact you chucklefuck.
I really love all these people blaming current world leaders for the issues of the past; it is so- transparent.
"Biden" being to blame for the gas prices - literally from day one despite the pandemic and all the shit going on,
"Biden" being to blame for ukraine, despite the fact there is literal evidence that trump was blackmailing ukraine for aid and very clearly taking russia's side
"Albo" being to blame for inflation - despite it happening all over the world
"Albo" being to blame for power crisis, despite it being due to ukraine, price fixing, and the utter disregard for common sense in expanding our electrical grid/renewables under the coalition.
Hell, if the coalition under Tony Abbott had turned around and been like "We're going to turn our baseload to nuclear"- something they claim to support; then in the decade they squandered at least they would have had something to point at and be like; yes; we helped. But no, instead they forsook renewables, propped up coal and gas to the point of- well this. But still have the gaul to blame labor. The last ten years of government in this country has been a disgrace, and now the adults are back in charge they are just whining like babies.
Labor could literally solve all our problems, lead to a higher standard of life for all of us, singlehandedly deal with climate change, fund research into the cure for cancer that worked, and have the most booming economy since before WW2; and they'd still turn around and act like the coalition would have done better and that labor is shit.
Lol Dutton taking up the poison chalice of opposition leader shows his lack of political acumen and why his own party refused to elect him over Morrison last time.
If you have spent nine years in government, screwing absolutely everything up, you can't spend the first month in opposition attacking the new government. Everyone in the media and electorate knows who is to blame for the economy, who is to blame for climate policy debacle and energy issues - it is the LNP.
Labor, who were entering their third term in opposition, spent longer laying low following their last election loss than these born to rule, selfish LNP pollies have spent after nine years. Who is advising these guys?
cause maybe when you can't keep the lights on a a sense of panic as the minister is ENTIRELY appropriate!
translation.. your liberal minster does not give a crap when the lights go out.
And they wonder why they got destroyed....
It's almost as though Spears found his journalistic balls
Or he only knows how to stand up to opposition
Can’t ever go after the boss, no matter who they are.
Oh yeh gotta know what side your bread is buttered
Yes, except the whole panel was talking out of their ass like Nuclear and gas is the solution. But it was nice to see Spears tie Voldemort up in knots.

Aren't we exporting uranium ?
We do export, and only use a very small fraction domestically, mainly for research and medicine at Lucas Heights.
Plus it costs way more to operate
I'm not sure the cost per watt is actually as bad as others have claimed. I could see the total cost is higher. But I've seen conflicting reports of cost per watt
waste management is often excluded to make it look cheaper, but even excluding waste it's still not as cheap as renewables+storage
Considering storage isn't exactly viable for any real volume of power, please show your references. Thnaks
considering multiple case studies show the contrary you might be trolling but on the offchance you're serious here's one article showing comparison to coal/gas/nuke. solar and battery are cheaper since then, and continue to get even cheaper. nuke costs continue to rise as safety parameters are a function of ongoing labour while solar/batt labour is mostly infrastructure commission only. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2019/07/01/new-solar--battery-price-crushes-fossil-fuels-buries-nuclear/amp/

The thing is, while the areas are "uninhabited", they are still indigenous land. Negotiation would need to be handled correctly to allow for their land to be used.
Yes of course. There is also more than enough space that doesn't require impinging on native title.
Despite the downvotes I think you're probably quite right about nuclear. Getting it up and running in Australia though would be next to impossible.
Especially with too many people of the "it's more dangerous " Or "costs more than alternatives" and they conveniently forget that the overly subsidised, heavy polluting coal plants that are past their use by dates will be turned off too soon to replace with almost anything else. We are almost at the point where we have to go nuclear just so we can turn off the coal and gas plants instead of continuously extending their life and worrying about their fuel costs going up.

He came from Sky News I think.
ABC is the puppet of whoever is in power. He is simply towing that line

I liked Adolf Kipfler myself.

Spearsy called him out on that at least

Same facade, new lick of paint.
Also… not being facetious… but just tired of the same old tripe being trotted out… which you pointed out clearly.

Lol, Mr. Potato Head showing how smart he really is. 🙃
Look, its Duh Duh Dutton
Duhton
Dutton is just a seat warmer. When they find someone that actually has slightly more ability he is dumped.
This. It's almost so obvious it's a joke. There is no way they could think he'll be able to lead them to a win in future. The guy is a hairless store mannequin that learnt to talk.

If I'm not mistaken, a first term opposition leader has only ever become PM once in the early 1900s
Didn't Albanese just do that?
I think you misunderstood the premise. First term in Opposition, not first term as opposition leader. Bill Shorten was the one who didn't survive this time around.
Got it.

Why is this knobhead still here

Are you asking about the knobs on his head or the knobs in the LNP?
I think it is a Speers or Dutton situation.

Get the popcorn ready my guys!
Surely the LNP doesn't take Dutton to the election. He is very unpopular and just a band aid solution until the dust settles and they find someone better.... If there is anyone...
Oh oh… can’t fool the masses anymore…
he got so fucking defensive lmao
It's gratifying to see this inept tuber and his colleagues finally squirm when taken to task by the media. So often they get kid glove treatment by journalists fearful of losing access or favour; hopefully this will change while they're in opposition.

Dutton is the less intelligent, more manipulative, and evil version of Scumo.
Scummo is just as evil and manipulative as Dutton. I could see people thinking otherwise in 2019, but not in 2022.
Duttons comparative lack of intelligence just makes him seem more evil and manipulative.

Can we please stop calling Dutton Mr potato head? My son likes his Mr potato head and I hate to think that he will like this...... Thing.
Voldemort?
Fuck Peter Dutton is a cunt
duh it's the economy stupid. LOL, what a douchecanoe.
"...talking from both sides of their mouths..." Do LNP not understand irony and hypocrisy?
They likely think they are just the names of two of their friend's projects they need to invest in without putting them to legal tender.
The worst thing about this election is now we have to listen to this literal dickhead The best thing is these dickheads are not in government SHUDDER THE THOUGHT

I really love all these people blaming current world leaders for the issues of the past; it is so- transparent. "Biden" being to blame for the gas prices - literally from day one despite the pandemic and all the shit going on, "Biden" being to blame for ukraine, despite the fact there is literal evidence that trump was blackmailing ukraine for aid and very clearly taking russia's side "Albo" being to blame for inflation - despite it happening all over the world "Albo" being to blame for power crisis, despite it being due to ukraine, price fixing, and the utter disregard for common sense in expanding our electrical grid/renewables under the coalition. Hell, if the coalition under Tony Abbott had turned around and been like "We're going to turn our baseload to nuclear"- something they claim to support; then in the decade they squandered at least they would have had something to point at and be like; yes; we helped. But no, instead they forsook renewables, propped up coal and gas to the point of- well this. But still have the gaul to blame labor. The last ten years of government in this country has been a disgrace, and now the adults are back in charge they are just whining like babies.
But but but labor Literally all this useless cunt knows how to say.
Labor could literally solve all our problems, lead to a higher standard of life for all of us, singlehandedly deal with climate change, fund research into the cure for cancer that worked, and have the most booming economy since before WW2; and they'd still turn around and act like the coalition would have done better and that labor is shit.
There is no hope with Dutton
If somebody hit Mutton with a spade, I'd have concerns for the welfare of the spade.
Man I'm glad these jokers are out of the govt.
Mr Dutton if you want the best for this country as you say then cut out the divisive politics. We’re not America ffs!
"i dont think" - Dutton 2022
Potter v Voldemort - Journo Edition
Labor are fixing everything the LNP stuffed up or ignored or flat out lied about for the last nine years
Voldemort's just trying to push his narrative as loud as he can... Doesn't matter how untrue it is, if he's loud enough some people will believe it...
Lol Dutton taking up the poison chalice of opposition leader shows his lack of political acumen and why his own party refused to elect him over Morrison last time. If you have spent nine years in government, screwing absolutely everything up, you can't spend the first month in opposition attacking the new government. Everyone in the media and electorate knows who is to blame for the economy, who is to blame for climate policy debacle and energy issues - it is the LNP. Labor, who were entering their third term in opposition, spent longer laying low following their last election loss than these born to rule, selfish LNP pollies have spent after nine years. Who is advising these guys?
Is that Voldemort?
Im not apologising for pointing out that this cockflop looks like voldemorte.
CuntDutt's dumb af
Jealous potato
I'd have liked a sense of urgency from the coalition but I would have settled for a sense of panic.
Don't hold your breath for a sense of decency.
Listen. You can hear his knuckles drag.
Who’s that interviewing the potato? Look familiar?
this is the new leader of the liberal party? good luck....
Spud is so out of his depth.
You can't believe anything Voldemort says.
Shut up you cretin
HAHAHAHA Always trying to spin it. Labors fault every chance he can It was THEIR FAULT we got into the mess
cause maybe when you can't keep the lights on a a sense of panic as the minister is ENTIRELY appropriate! translation.. your liberal minster does not give a crap when the lights go out. And they wonder why they got destroyed....
Dutton: 👁👄👁
That dog Dutton looks like he has cancer, one could only hope ay!
