Dutton’s sabotage of The Voice, with the help of the Murdoch media, was only ever about fuelling racism and populism for cheap political points because Dutton never stood for anything except stroking his own ego and fanning his delusions of power. A vile, vacuous bigot who got what he deserved

In 2020 Andrew Constance said “I’m going to dedicate the rest of my life to making sure (Black Summer) doesn’t happen again”. Now he cheers as the Liberal party abandons climate action. Did Peter Dutton ask him to park his climate change beliefs in order to be his pick for Gilmore?

Peter Dutton’s nuclear scheme will cost the taxpayer $600 billion, funded by cuts to critical services, and now the experts at the independent Climate Change Authority have found it will actually push up pollution.

Sobering day for climate action but all the more reason to stay focused on Australia’s opportunities to lead on renewable energy. Climate risks are escalating, impacting our safety and costing us. This is not a race we can quit. #auspol #climateaction

Dutton sabotaged Labor’s plan to provide a free, nutritious meal to millions of school children, many of whom live in poverty, for cheap political points….so that he can score cheaper political points by ensuring free gourmet meals for wealthy business people What an a*sehole! What a Liberal!

Good on you. When Dutton's idea was first concocted it was said these 7 plants would contribute 4-5% to the electricity grid. Now it's 38%? Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 years old how that works. My only conclusion is it's now massive reactors.

Chris was kind enough to respond. So now it's not just seven reactors, it's many reactors across 7 sights. Exactly how many? If the original 7 produced 4-5% into the grid 38% would be 30+ reactors? Where is the so called detail they promised? This policy is a shocker (no pun intended).
