Angus Taylor was all over the place at the NPC, at odds with Peter Dutton on immigration, superannuation & everything. #auspol https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/may/22/shadow-treasurer-angus-taylor-peter-dutton-migration-targets-budget-reply-liberal-coalition

Pt1/2 Trying to pin Angus Taylor down on subsidies for the nuclear reactor industry given the CSIRO has today reported on the high cost of building them. Trying to get out of it by throwing to Peter Dutton & Ted O'Brien. #auspol

Qld LNP's David Littleproud still wont reveal the details but he now says nuclear reactors will be built "close" to the existing coal power stations. They are targeting 6-7 sites. (The easiest ones to secure would be the Qld owned ones with David Crisafulli as premier.)

Colin Boyce is the former Qld LNP MP for the state seat of Callide & current fed MP for Flynn. He's volunteered the electorates for nuclear reactors. Under the Qld LNP, coal power would be extended while hindering the state's renewables progress. They have begun targeting power hubs at Gladstone.

On housing, Peter Dutton is attempting to divert us into a conversation about immigration so that we turn on each other. Let's not do that. What we need to do is get all the state & territory housing waiting lists down. Let's get people out of cars/tents & into a place.

The NDIS is expensive. Speaking first hand, it is working. As always, thanks to all. Important to make sure it gets to everyone that needs it. About 13-14 million workers in Australia so every dollar must be spent correctly. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/may/14/australia-federal-budget-2024-ndis-cuts-disability-pension-reforms-employment-program-savings-surplus

Angus Taylor confirming nuclear energy will have to be subsidised in Australia. Even just being a distraction is bad enough. With David Crisafulli as Queensland premier they'll use him to slow down renewables while consultants are paid to conduct feasability studies at all the proposed sites.

If you haven't already, you'll start seeing the Qld LNP ads with the state director authorisation at the bottom or end as B Riley. Ben was suspended in 2013 for 6 months for taking a pair of RM Williams boots from a stand outside the LNP convention. It was dismissed as a prank & he was soon back rising through the ranks. https://www.smh.com.au/national/disgraced-young-lnp-star-comes-back-to-the-fold-20140126-31gtd.html

Queensland & Australian governments set aside $470 million each in grants, loans & share purchases for the company PsiQuantum. It will attempt to build the world's first large "fault-tolerant" quantum computer. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-30/australia-signs-deal-for-first-useful-quantum-computer/103781352

It's a uniquely Qld Labor strategy Premier Steven Miles has initiated. In 2017 the media was telling Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk she couldn't win again because of One Nation. So she said, if that's really what you want, I'll lead into opposition. https://youtu.be/5X_W0oO0h4E?si=oYkkF0uy5TaPju7X

Peter Dutton informed of the update from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation on small modular nuclear reactors. In their "infancy" & "relatively untested". Predictions on build time & cost should be treated "with a high degree of uncertainty".

If Peter Dutton isn't listening to ANSTO, who is he listening to?

ANSTO link on small modular nuclear reactors. A lot of information on them & where they are up to in terms of development. https://www.ansto.gov.au/news/small-modular-reactors-an-overview

Peter Dutton confirms the he'll extend the lives of Australia's coal-fired power stations. In Queensland, he'll need David Crisafulli as premier to do that but what about other states? Also, corrected on his nuclear power G20 claim - Indonesia has no nuclear, Italy & Germany have phased theirs out.

Andrew Bolt gets Barnaby Joyce on to agree with him. Joyce accuses others of falling off things. Both conveniently forget PM Tony Abbott's 2014 Israel Hamas ceasefire call and reiteration of the two-state solution.

At 19 my grandfather was deployed to Gallipoli. The message from him to me which I share with you every ANZAC Day is one of peace.There's no upset in my family over biscuit tins. Enjoy April 25 in whatever capacity, perhaps take a few moments to reflect on how better the world can resolve conflict. ♥️

NSW Premier Chris Minns noting the difficulty in achieving new home targets. Regardless of party, I think all leaders will struggle with this measure because there's so many factors at play in the building industry. Best to prioritise public housing wait lists. https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/nsw-premier-chris-minns-said-it-will-be-extremely-difficult-for-state-to-meet-housing-target-by-2029/news-story/7dabaa09e06d9da76986fcde20245a4f

Data shows how the Coalition's HomeBuilder scheme contributed to inflation. Scott Morrison & Michael Sukkar targeted people who least needed it through uncapped, demand-driven stimulus which exacerbated construction supply & labour costs. https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2024/03/27/pascoe-housing-good-news

Peter Dutton yet to provide the details on his coal to nuclear plan. In Queensland he can't implement anything without getting his colleague David Crisafulli to become premier & getting him to lift the state ban on nuclear facilities.

Good to see the headline unemployment figures fall. The underemployment figure is really what we need to address.

On headline figures, we know what happens in Queensland when the Qld LNP takes over & starts axing. Up to 6.9% under Campbell Newman. https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/labour/employment-and-unemployment/labour-force-australia/latest-release

Carbon Transport and Storage Corporation (CTSCo), a subsidiary of Glencore, plans to inject Co2 from Qld coal-fired power stations into aquifers in southern Qld.

Michael Kroger knows the hope you rural people carry in your hearts (Tasmanians excluded). It's nuclear reactors. Why didn't someone think of this before?

The Morrison government knew Australian Business Mobiles had no experience in PPE when in 2020 it paid it $100m for masks. 5 of the 7 manufacturers suppling to ABM were deemed non-compliant resulting in 46 million of the total 50 million unusable. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/mar/14/australian-government-covid-masks-unusable-australian-business-mobiles
