For Australia to move away from coal right now is insanity.

these people voted for labor will never learn i just hope that we can get Albo out and people use their brains this time

We should be building more coal plants just like the rest of the world I feel it’s a deliberate ploy by the major parties to destroy Australians and its destroyed our ability to manufacture absolute criminals have been slowly destroying this country Whitlam none of them have ever tried to reverse what was put in place

I don't know why everyone is blaming Labor this renewable rubbish is still a major part of supply and Net Zero lunacy for the LNP. Both parties have this Net Zero in their sights, but slightly different ways to get there.

What a joke, Chris Bowen and Labor really treat us like mushrooms and think we are stupid

The Inconvenient TRUTH. There has been no lawfully appointed Government since Federation, thanks to Western Australia, they were the last state to join the Federation before our Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1901 was proclaimed and Gazetted. Here is why. this research was carried out By Wayne Glew, one of the most conversant people on the laws contained in the above constitution. Before Federation, there were only 6 colonies of England here. And when they became States at federation they had in place their individual Constitutions brought forward from their previous Status as Colonies. Queen Victoria set these Constitutions under her letters patents, which means that only a Monarch re: Herself before her death could alter them or remove them, and those monarchs of England after her gained that privilege while they were on the throne of England. and at present it is King Charles III of Great Britain and Northern Ireland who Holds these letters patents. So, Western Australia removed 32 Clauses from their original Constitution prior to Federation, without approval from Queen Victoria, thus breaching the Letters patent and thus annulled Western Australia as a lawful State Entity. Therefore, instead of there being 6 Lawful States at Federation, There were only 5 lawful States. Now when you read the Constitution Act 1901 as proclaimed and Gazetted, to hold a Federal Election it clearly says that the candidates must be picked from the 6 States of the Commonwealth, But we only have 5 Lawful States at federation, so! Therefore there could not be an election held to form a Federal Government from then until now as there must be 6 lawful States involved in a Federal Election. So the provision to hold Elections for the Federal Parliament was breached. s. 128 of our 1901 Constitution says that the only way our Constitution can be altered is through s.128 via a referendum. But even if there was a referendum it would be invalid because only a Monarch can Change the letters patent. Since Federation all the States have removed their original Constitutions under letters patents without the Consent of our Monarchs since federation. Therefore there are no Lawful State Legislatures or Federal Legislatures. All sit in treason. Also, these unlawful Legislatures sign up to many foreign powers without asking the people via s.128. And by doing so they breached s 44 of the Constitution Act 1901 as proclaimed and gazetted, and also clause 5 of the preamble to our constitution. there are no such entities as governments, prime ministers, premiers, chief ministers or Magistrates, and the ACT and the Northern Territory do not exist in Constitutional law, there had to be referendums carried out for those possibilities. so they both sit in treason of our Constitution. There is much more evidence of treachery and treason folks. Many thanks for reading we need to take our Country back. It follows that if we accept the above as fact and can be proven via research and documentation, then How to vote becomes redundant, pointless, unless of course the population at large want to continue to contribute to their own demise and end up in total slavery. Following this path of self destruction is inevitable if that path is followed. An old military tactic is simple in construction, deprive the enemy of supply, that supply being votes, which equals cash ,which equals power, it then becomes just a matter of time, with enough pressure that the enemy will fail in their objective. The enemy are criminal frauds, Cartels, deprive them of supply and we are on the track to victory. Oh and message to those on the east coast, remember who supplies 48% of the wealth to this nation, getting involved in West Coast affairs isn't wise, especially as the east side of Australia can't even fix its own messes up, ie All eastern states are a mess, Victoria especially. Pay attention to the above information, because if you are not part of the solution, you sure are part of the problem.

Bowen said increases party due to maintenance to Coal fire power stations,Chris needs counselling there’s no unicorns mate,time to get off the METH

Even if we could & should use coal we still would be closer to net zero then China will ever be. Maybe this ridiculous government should concentrate on pushing China to cut back.

Every one gets to pass the costs onto the consumer…. Except the people who actually do the work, we are the bottom of the food chain.

How wonderful would it be, if elected politicians actually started quoting from our original Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900, as gazetted in 1901, in defence of our actual afforded rights to our own natural resources, gas, for example. We as Australians are afforded access to our own natural resources! Unless they’re finally conceding that due their ongoing unlawful and unconstitutional changes to our Commonwealth Constitution makes it invalid 🤔 Australia’s resources belong to all Australians, and neither federal government, nor states, have any right to block access for all Australians to their own resources! Any and all agreements that “they” have made, regarding our Commonwealth resources are “all” null and void!

We should be moving to Thorium reactors like the one China just constructed. Maintain our current coal, gas and renewable energy production, but Thorium reactors should be organised ASAP. Thorium reactors could be constructed next to existing coal fired power stations and once online the coal fired infrastructure can be removed for an expansion of the functioning Thorium reactor. The power transmission infrastructure is already existing so this will also reduce costs and construction time. Thorium reactors by design have multiple failsafe mechanisms to prevent the reactor from getting close to critical. They also produce far less waste and Thorium is far more abundant than uranium and therefore less fuel cost.

We need new coal fired power plants to get us to Bowen and Dutton’s Dreamtime. Why can’t they see that???

Yes, they promised that prices would go down with renewables. Still waiting....They lied. #VoteLaborOut

This government and the predicted next one will not have the brains even if the they put their heads together to run a cow poo fight in a paddock

One nation can't do a bloody thing. Stop lying to the people!

Labor doesn't know shit from clay.

Malcolm could you explain how you can do this are you hoping for a hung parliament where your party has the balance off power. Not a labour or liberal voter

Why can’t we use the ether like tateria???

Thats a government that don't care about the people what hope do we have with labor

Spot on as usual Malcom

we need more coal power not less .. and we also need nuclear .. we have to use our own resources to bring manufacturing back here .

dirty, toxic, polluting and expensive.

We need cheap energy so we can live as decent human beings.

Did Bowen get dropped on his head as a baby ,we need coal powered electricity for this country this solar ,windturban isn't working ,these electricity companies are killing this country off all feign countries own our inverstructer, time to start taking it back and tax the blood money they rake out of this country, Trump might have screw lose buts he's right keep Australia, Australian

Labour are talking to us as if we ignorant n dumb

Right now, all baseload power is forced to immediately switch off when wind and solar unpredictably turn on. This isn't how baseload power stations like coal are built to work - they're meant to keep spinning consistently which is why they're called baseload. Flicking them on and off causes extreme damage, more expensive maintenance and in some cases, power stations literally blowing up. With one simple rule change, One Nation would guarantee baseload power the minimum amount they need to keep spinning and drastically cut down their costs instead of being forced completely off when wind and solar unpredictably turn on. AGL who runs coal fired power stations stated that the coal they use to make electricity is costing $21 a megawatt hour. In the last quarter the wholesale price for electricity in "wind and solar capital" South Australia was $200 a megawatt hour. With this simple rule change, your power bills would go down by at least 20%.

Bowen’s expensive renewable madness…… he’s absolutely destroying our future energy market…

Why would anyone with a little bit of intelligence sell power stations to foreign conglomerates like AGL, this country is more or less held to ransom by these multinational conglomerates its utterly obsurd. As a tax payer I would like my taxes to go towards the re purchase of said coal fired power stations so we as Australians have control over one of our most important services and then you can start with petroleum. We are at the mercy of multinational companies and its not good for us at present or our children's future.

While you’re talking about power how can we have smart meters removed from our homes? Because my power bill has risen since & every night my Solar power is turned off & it’s only since they came and put a smart meter in without my consent!

People voted for it so they can’t complain. Blame those that voted lab/greens/teals. And no, I don’t like the libs either. In saying that there are a cohort of brainwashed that are prepared to be destitute because they have been led to believe that if Australia reduces our output of ‘scary gasses’ we’ll actually achieve something. We don’t have international clout, we don’t have manufacturing, and we produced such a paltry amount that all we’ll achieve is a lower standard of living for everyone. By the way, how’s everyone’s $275 reduction in the cost of living going? 😂

Why are we exporting our coal to places like China for their coal powered electricity? does not make sense

surprise surprise wouldnt expect nothing less from this country a disgrace

we have to get rid of all these corrupt politicians and the ones they work for

Its all well and good to vote under the illusion of making a difference... yet only one in twenty people I have ever talked to about this confirms they voted for either the two major parties. If this is the same for the majority of voters and they are being honest it would seem we are voting simply for the illusion of having a say or the preference voting system is ripping everyone off and needs to be abolished, currently voting is pointless exercise. If someone has a real understanding of the problem, I quote the much respected Pauline...please explain

Why not burn coal for power. If there is really a slight increase in Co2 then we can grow more food on the planet !

How when you can not even get in Australia has a 2 party only labour or liberals voting for one nation will do nothing

This is Coruption and greed at it s best..

What about the rip off solar incentives “ that power companies use us to take our generated power and now pay us a pittance back so our electricity bills are still through the roof! I paid nearly 10k for all my panels to help save in the long run and we are still paying through the roof for electricity 🤯 What is going on that we have no cost of living safety measures and our whole country is suffering to live on just essentials? Is the bigger plan just to run us into the ground?

I was just going to write about this .It looks like pensions go up this week so that will be a great help .O wait they are going up about $3.70 a fortnight cant even buy a cup pf coffee with a months rise .Please lets get rid of this useless mob fast as we are loosing more than our ability to live like humans but will loose the ability to live at all if they have their way .And I am not only speaking as a pensioner but watching family and friends suffer exactly the same even having a job these days does not protect us any more

Luckily pensioners are getting a $2.30 a week payrise to cover all these extra costs..unless they waste it on a loaf of bread a fortnight

You get what you vote for.

No more Treasonous govt with private Seals. All parties

We will never see cheaper prices, Gulf war 1 doubled petrol prices and it never come down.

And what the hell are they doing extra to raise the cost so much all the time? We are encouraged to get solar but the rise in prices is defeating the purpose! The amount of time the power is out is beyond a joke! What are they doing extra for that money??? Why are batteries so expensive??? What is the government doing to keep these electric companies in line? Oh that’s right they sold it all off and privatised it, well done Howard you should be in prison, crimes against humanity! If you want votes Malcolm you need to change the whole system and stop it privatised! Bring it back under government control! THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN 👇 After privatization, a government can regain control over a previously privatized entity through a combination of strict regulations, performance-based contracts, public service obligations, and in some cases, by buying back shares or re-nationalizing the company; essentially, by setting clear rules and expectations for the private company while still maintaining oversight to ensure the public interest is served, even if they no longer directly own the asset.

Simple.Kick the contacted fo reign controller s out of our utility managemrnt.

It's what the people voted for.

And Malaka wont help. To busy doing photo ops about sport. I bet S.A residents will vote labor again.

Should have remained in public hands! Only went up by 2 to 3pc per year, and still everyone moaned.

So a private company is being rewarded for its negligence. All the power grid corridors should be pruned back just like the NT has done since cyclone Tracy. What a shit show!

Labor and Liberals have been in power for the last 100 years and also the Greens they are experts at how to FK up Australia's energy needs, Time to prioritize voting for smaller parties and independents give them more power to control the corrupt Labor, Liberals and Greens
