You are a fucking imbecile. This is what the new economy looks like:
Pasture / farming land (where your food comes from) turned over to acres of solar panels filled with heavy metals and which don’t provide a meaningful power output and which the developers can simply walk away from in 20 years with no environmental remediation.
Everyone’s so happy with the New Economy, the grifters got their $ and the tradies got their $ which was realistically yanked out of all of our pockets.

To some, the [cue spooky music] ‘coal lobby’ is a ravenous beast; stalking the corridors of Canberra, corrupting the weak and blackmailing the unwary – and having its wicked way with policy.
In fact, as far as domestic coal is concerned, the ‘coal lobby’ is something of a shibboleth. Australian coal consumption has fallen steadily over the past 15 years. Australian coal for domestic use now makes up about 8% of total production – and probably way less than 5% by value.
Not a very successful or motivated bogey man.

ENOVA ENERGY PLACED INTO VOLUNTARY ADMINISTRATION (Ncl local news, 22 Jun)
Let’s play pass the parcel shall we? The wholesalers don’t want to commit to fixed price contracts when generation prices are sky high because mad regulators and pollies. Retailers can’t lock in wholesale prices so they can’t set a retail price to allow them to survive. So they are all likely to go insolvent from 1 July and that’s a serious offence under the regulation of the same mad regulators. So they call in the administrators and exit stage left. All due to the government and their fantasy fixation on unicorn farts.

Wind and solar aren’t the answer. While the transmission grid is approximately in its current form gas is probably as good as it’s going to get. People need to accept there is no way to store meaningful amounts of grid scale power now or in the foreseeable future.

Yes Rex, gas is there as a transitional fossil fuel, less polluting than coal but not viable long term, intended to provide most of the baseload coverage until battery tech catches up.

Yes, it is truly a ‘fetish’:

Sexual desire gratified by imagining that one is female when patently one is not. A male dressing in female clothes and presenting outwardly as a female (autogynophylia).

I believe Morrison to be worse than Turnbull. Turnbull’s ego, being rather large, would have stopped any nonsense like a “National Cabinet”. There’s no way Turnbull would have shared powers with the likes of Palachook, Andrews and McClown.
Listening to Rowan Dean’s assessment tonight of what happened with the senate in Western Australia is proof that the Morrison government was inept, supine and spineless.
As an aside, here in Wentworth, the Liberals preferenced One Nation last, behind the Greens. You can imagine my fury when I learnt this. This decision encapsulates what was wrong with the Liberals under Morrison. But that rot is deep, very deep and until the Liberal Party realise they are fighting a culture war, nothing will change. Whilst Labor happily harvests Green preferences, the Liberals treat One Nation and other small right-wing parties with disdain, because they prefer to buy into and parrot leftist mantras about “far-right parties”.
Whilst the Morrison government deserved to lose office on 21 May 2022, what’s sad, really sad, is that we didn’t deserve an Albanese/Greens/Pocock government.
It’s going to be a long three years.

I keep asking him to take the Solar Challenge. Solar panels on the roof, battery beside the house, EV in the garage, cut off from the grid.

There was a book written in the 60’s called “The Year of the Rabbit.”

Essentially, Rabbits the size of Alsatians, Australia conscripts 60 year olds to do a reprise of the Emu Wars, and weaponises Myxomatosis which is unleashed when the coding system is overrun by the mutant rabbits in Canberra when they trash Parliament House and the PM’s personal dunny which happens to have the keypad locked in the dunny seat.
Funny as.
As a coal miner I’d like to know about this lobby group, I have done contracts for all the majors and never heard about one. From my experience most of the majors are that influential they have access to the highest levels anyway like any other big business, so why bother. Sometimes they get what they want from the Minister, sometimes they don’t. Coppabella Mines proposal to move the Peak Downs Hwy a second time so the can mine that area and join to Moorevale comes to mind there on the latter.
As for Coal most of the Bowen Basin’s output is for steel making. Coking coal down to PCI coal in grade. Even if we wanted to try and sell the stuff that usually ends up on the stockpile that could easily run a power station we can’t. The capacity just isn’t there in the logistics side to move it unless like in the Hunter and putting aside the issues with water, we build the power plant there.
Yeah and the so called subsidies we apparently get are green BS. The only handback I know of is the fuel excise levy in the form of a rebate and on unregistered machinery only used on site. Since this levy is figuratively meant to only be for public road maintenance I don’t think this arrangement is unfair.

Plovers are dumb fcuks too – they used to nest on the grass helipad at Victor Harbour hospital. Every time we landed our 5000kg 412 on the pad, it would blow their eggs off into the distance. They would voice their displeasure after we spooled down, then busily roll the eggs back into place, all set for a repeat performance 40 minutes later when we took off again.

whenever some dimwit bring up the fuel excise rebate, I ask them what fuel(/road) levies the EV owners are paying.
Plovers are the original Angry Birds.
They lay eggs in the most vulnerable positions, then act like Karens when the obvious becomes obvious. Still, I respect them greatly for punching above their weight against people, predators and everything else in possession of more than a squwark, skinny legs and a puny beak.
Geese with wings that work.
132and Bush:
Oi!
Sometimes we use a mixture of gypsum and #9 birdshot.
As you do.
I don’t mind plovers. They do this idiotic dive bombing thing with me and squawk as they approach. So I spread my “wings”, eyeball them and squark back.
I always win.
Those little victories are what makes life worth living. 😀
132and bush.
Oh ok.
I didn’t actually do that – but they made a decent omelette.
I’m still getting the pin feathers out from under my dental plate.
Great point, Duncan.
The elephant in the room is the lack of road finding without petrol vehicles. It is inevitable that EVs will attract a road tax. The only reason it hasn’t already is that they aren’t a captive market . Yet.

The correct technical term is “Tupperware teeth”.
We are talking about politicians here, Mater. Honesty to them is like farting loudly in an ambush… 😉
On the lighter side of things, I’m reading “To Marry an English Lord.”
It’s an account of the American heiresses, of the late 19th century, who couldn’t break into American society, so they crossed the Atlantic to marry into the peers of the British realm, and exchange dollars for titles – the forerunner to “Downtown Abbey.”
One young lady made the trans Atlantic journey, and entered her fiance’s ancestral castle, to be confronted by a life sized painting of her fiance’s current mistress hanging over the main fireplace in the main lounge room – depicted nude…..
That Weez iz bettah than yooz Easternerz meme is a religion. 😀
Though that apocryphal story about Canberra separating Perth and the Southwest of WA, making a new State out of the rest with its capital at Kalgoorlie and port at Albany if WA didn’t agree to Federation makes sense as a creation myth… 🙂
“I could dress myself in my wifes clothing and underwear, but it won’t bring her back.
How do people – supposedly rational – get to thinking this way?”
It’s a sexual fetish. They get aroused by putting on women’s clothing and underwear. They imagine themselves to be women. Once upon a time any sane society (sadly long gone) would have either laughed at such creepy men or deemed them to be perverts but now their sexual fetishes are legitimised and we are told that must accept this perversion as normal.
When you watch a tranny and observe how he dresses, how he puts on makeup, how he walks, you can see that his notion of what constitutes “a woman” is completely sexual, kinky, even pornographic, this is exhibited in their attire, fishnet stockings, high heels and satiny silky clothes. They want to look like whores because that’s how they think of women. They’re freaks….it’s pure misogynism.
Sheila Jeffreys is a radical British feminist. I’ve long respected her writings. Jeffreys says that “men who put on drag and pretend to be women is as offensive as someone who puts on blackface”. I agree.
Peter Wherret used to like a bit of cross dressing before it became fashionable. On the ALPBC too, although that may simply have been a coincidence unlike today.
Lisa Wilkinson hired a barrister just hours after he appeared on national television and slammed her Logies speech as “ill-advised”.
On Wednesday morning, Matthew Collins, president of the Australian Bar Association, was interviewed on the Seven Network’s Sunrise program and said it was a “serious possibility” that authorities might look into charging The Project co-host Wilkinson with contempt of court after her Logies speech on Sunday night, which subsequently resulted in the delay of the trial of the man accused of raping former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins.
Within four hours of his appearance on the breakfast TV show, Dr Collins was approached to represent the Ten Network and Wilkinson.
Oz breaking news
Canberra bashing ( including Sydney & Melbourne) never goes out of fashion in the West.
Beat me to it, Top Ender – great minds.
Bingo!
*Runs*
Ahahaha! You bet!
Thats one ‘expert witness’ nullified then.
I’ve got a nasty, cruel and suspicious mind, but might said barrister have been hired to stop him criticizing La Wilkinson?

The End
Cold clear night around Casa Pedro, three foxes crossed the rainbow bridge courtesy of the CZ .22LR with the new Zero Tech scope. I am starting to think that lurking in a dark and dank treeline waiting for the feral wildlife to appear should be confined to warmer evenings, not the winter solstice.
Back home with the jarrah logs blazing, the resident hound hogging the fireplace, and Pedro sipping a fairly large glass of 2002 Jamieson’s Run Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz after a big feed of lamb curry. (No, not Dorper curry, you degenerates).
Better than grubbing in the red dirt looking for sparkly stuff, though.
Sliante, Pedro!
You see, Dmitry, when making war on enemy’s energy supply, is best to label it as “special market intervention”.

Nobody’s brave enough to approach them…
Correct.
He runs a manufacturing business FFS.
They need to be there.
Yes, even back office people.
They need to connect with the operational side of the business.
Well done sir !
I found my CZ 455 in 22LR somewhat lacking in stopping power with the foxxies, and went to a .17.
South Yorkshire Police: Cop told dad of r@pe victim sex attack would ‘teach’ her a ‘lesson’ – report claims
A damning new report into South Yorkshire Police’s handling of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham says the force made ‘systemic’ and ‘significant’ failures, but despite this, no officer investigated has lost their job or been found to have failed in their statutory duties.
‘We saw examples of SYP seeing children and survivors as consenting to their exploitation’
‘ Many vulnerable individuals were seen as problems not victims’
a police officer allegedly told a parent who raised concerns about their daughter being missing and being involved with older men that it was a ‘fashion accessory’ for girls in Rotherham to have an ‘older Asian boyfriend’ and that she would grow out of it.
The same playbook was used in Queensssland.
“Queensssland hospitals are for Queenssslanders”.
Fuck I am a wildlife softy.
I was retrieving some bricks from a damp shady corner of the property over the last couple of days.
Disturbed a bunch of frogs.
So I built them a new hidey-hole out of broken mortar chunks and paving stones.
They’re lucky I’m Spanish and not French I guess, otherwise they’d all be in wheelchairs.
Excellent!
I am loading that one up and having it ready to go.
Dropped below 20 has it?
If only sandgropers were as hard as their timber.

Boy, 16, is arrested after two men are stabbed in knife attack at Swedish shopping mall
Both men in their 50s are in a serious condition after what police have described as ‘act of insanity’ in central Västerås.
Back in March, two women who were stabbed at a high school in Southern Sweden died from their injuries.
Both were said to be employees at the school and in their 50s. An 18-year-old student was later arrested after their deaths.
UK Police have failed to solve a single burglary in neighbourhoods covering nearly half the country over the past three years, a Telegraph investigation has found.
Of more than 32,000 neighbourhoods analysed, 16,000 of them (46 per cent) had all their burglary cases in the past three years closed with no suspect caught and charged by police.
Almost 2,000 of the neighbourhoods – each containing approximately 3,000 residents – recorded at least 25 burglaries, but none were solved. The worst neighbourhood, in Sheffield, went three years without any of its 104 burglaries being solved.
The country’s eyes are trained on high-profile massacres in Texas and Buffalo, but most mass shootings bear little resemblance to those.
Of 267 incidents this year classified as mass shootings by the Gun Violence Archive, nearly all can be tied to gang beefs, neighborhood arguments, robberies or domestic incidents that spiraled out of control.
Indiscriminate slaughter by a lone gunman blasting away at a store, school or some other public place is rare, according to a Washington Times analysis of the archive’s data, accounting for less than 4% of the total.
Damn Tom Hanks !
I just watched a Western movie, on SBS on demand, called Jane Got a Gun.
Starred Nathalie Portman, Ewan McGregor and Joel Edgerton. The movie was ruined by the fact none of them are American.

What a co-inkidink- I took hold of my new boom stick today, CZ 457 on the general recommendation of Cat-arsenal. Yet to sight in the scope, but hoping for many good times. Haven’t bagged a fox since Danno the wonder dog ran one down a month ago.

You’ve got the Red Nose and ClownShoes out early today, schmendrick.
The cops in England are under strict instructions not to harass gypsies and blacks committing Crimes against the English.
Climate change trumps human rights.
News at eleven for progressives.
Plenty of police available in the UK to do useless stuff.
Just watch that new police reality show on Netflix to see where the priorities lie.
Progressives are notoriously selective about the people and the rights they support.
Unborn score a big zero (but some are sad)
Liars who tie up millions in taxpayers resources get a visit from the PM while Sri Lankans fleeing from an actual crisis get the bums rush.
Muslims in western China, cares only when convenient.
The poor ditto.
Aborigines, if they are urban, fair skinned and parading around in machine made possum coats.
The list is endless.
Make that a little sad.

The murdered woman lived in Australia for four years.
At a loss as to what the Australian community could or should have done
We need to do something so that nothing of that sort ever happens to any other Australian women. We need to empower our women in a way that no one in future can exploit them or take advantage of them wherever they are in the world.”
