  1. I'm a born bred and raised Victorian who's NOT living in Victoria for the moment and with stuff like this going on AM GLAD I'm NOT living in Victoria. This is the typical "throw a band aid on an arterial bleed" response that has plagued Australian politics for decades. Its NOT just clowns on the Far Left that do this. The Far Right are equally as bad they just do it in different ways. Let me explain something I do know about. I'm an engineer and circa 2016 I had an odd little consult job and discovered just how bad our energy situation actually is. I can simply say that the general public has no idea how bad our situation is and what sorts of costs we are going to encounter over the next few decades. If we are lucky it will cost about AU$2 Trillion *(YES with 'T'), but if we let the clown brigades fight like they are we could be up for as much a AU$10 Trillion. If people want I will explain those numbers and it has little do do with the energy transition because we were always going to require a massive rebuild replacing the old worn out power stations as well was building new power for the increased population. But right now the far Right is preaching the nuclear solution BECAUSE ITS CONVENIENT. There's actually a very sound argument for having PART of our system become nuclear. I am in favor of nuclear power being part of our energy mix, but we can't even have the discussion because of the CURRENT POLITICAL RIGHT and how they are promoting it. The way its being promoted along emotional reactionary lines makes it a terrible public discussion JUST like this idiotic ministry which is also a reactionary political response makes for a terrible public discussion. And that's the real problem. We have these REACTIONARY political activists pumping needed public discussions with emotional nonsense and they make sensible public discussion near impossible no matter what the topic is.
