Nuclear does not make sense if renewables can supply 100% energy. however that is far from clear. Renewables supply 35% today but unlikely to supply all. We need another source. Coal gas Ok short term but not long term.

QW: Barnaby no-show at all candidate forums
Barnaby owes it to his electorate to show up to all ‘meet the candidates’ across the electorate. What thinking person would vote for a candidate that can’t be bothered to attend these meetings

QW: Decentralisation the way to prosperity
Planning for the future decentralisation is the foundation of which Australia should be looking at, for rather than continually creating more of the same within our larger cities opening up the country offers a way forward in not only lowering cost of living standards but offering growth and prosperity once again like in the past.

QW: RU OK Barnaby?
I saw at the candidate forum in Armidale that someone had written on a card for Barnaby Joyce: “R U OK? (serious question)” I was thinking the same thing. I know he’s not that old, but he hasn’t looked well for a while. Y’know, when we actually see him. Maybe he’s just tired?

QW: So not everyone has Sky News?
I only just learned tonight while talking about the debate that people in the cities have to pay for Sky News – it’s only in regional areas you can watch for free. I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing? Is this why we seem to be on completely different […]

However, following the official confirmation of election dates—Australia’s for May 3, 2025, and […]

Letter: Has Barnaby gone quiet on Nuclear?
Peter Dutton says his nuclear power policy is “probably the biggest energy economic policy offered by an opposition in our country’s history.” So why have Dutton and Barnaby Joyce, a man not averse to spruiking, gone strangely silent on nuclear? Maybe it’s that recent nuclear projects around the world have been plagued by massive cost […]
