  1. What a pile of crap. Australia has NO sustainable competitive advantage in solar or wind power compared to the USA, Africa, South America, Asia, etc, etc, etc. Fossil fuel extraction in Australia receive ZERO subsidies, only high taxes in the way of massive royalties paid to state governments to fund the nations schools, hospitals, police, the arts, etc, etc. Renewable energy receives around 10 BILLION dollars in subsidies, much of it going to overseas 'rent seekers'.

  2.  @davem3325  Who gives a crap what some biased green body claims about the world. The topic is AUSTRALIA, and the fossil fuel industry receives ZERO subsidies. It is incredibly heavily TAXED e.g mining royalties, fuel excise. You know ZIP!

  3. Why would anyone want to take advice from someone in the UK. They are a model of NOT what to do. With soaring gas, oil, and coal prices and shortages around the world now is the very time Australia should be expanding extraction of out natural resources. The saying 'make hay while the sun shines' has never been so apt.
