  1. Kean asks why didn't the LNP remove the prohibition on the use of uranium during their term in office. Even a lightweight like Kean would know they couldn't have achieved that without bi partisan support as it would have been blocked in a hostile Senate.

  2. No. Governments, not the free market, are responsible for nation building projects e.g Snowy, ports, airports, etc. Electricity is critical infrastructure which for decades was 100% paid for by state and federal governments. The same should happen with nuclear. The government should build them.

  3. The LNP NEVER had the numbers in the Senate necessary to do what was required.

  4. Australia doesn't have 'green energy' all around us. For about 15 hours of every day the sun doesn't shine, and the wind nay not blow strong enough to turn generator blades for weeks at a time.

  5.  @pwillis1589  Nonsense. Anyone who wants to change the legislation needs bipartisan support to get it passed by the Senate. Such a proposal will ALWAYS be opposed by The Greens who hold the balance of power in the Senate.

  6.  @pwillis1589  So you just pretend the Senate doesn't exist. You really think idiots like David Pocock and Jacqui Lambie who can actually determine the direction Australia on critical issues actually reflect the wishes of the Australian people? You're deluded if you do. They reflect the views of lightweight nut jobs.
