Vaguely sane? A bleak picture with buffoons like Blackout Bowen.

Sorry looks like you need a subscription. The headline says it all.

Funnily enough I agree with the headline.

The Snowy 2.0 hydro project, for all it's hilariously late and over budget, is also nowhere near enough. We need to be madly building more dams and we just aren't.

We are indeed most likely headed straight to a period of grid instability, where the power goes out during certain weather conditions. Total madness, totally unnecessary.

Our car industry is also dead and if they’re waiting for the electric market, they’ll be waiting a long time. The only industry over here is digging stuff out of the ground and exporting it to China, where they make things and we import them.

Our car industry was retro funded by the Government for a long long time and eventually and rightly so after the USA manufacturers refused to fund it that funding was pulled. Any model for mass producing and distributing cars in Australia will lose a **** ton. Some things are simply better imported mate.

I was told by the airport manager when I joined Qantas in the early 90's that, "the days of you blokes earning this much money are coming to an end." He was alluding to labour costs here, compared to the Asian/South East Asian airlines labour costs.

The work ethic over here in many of my experiences is questionable to say the least and the unions, at Qantas, contributed greatly to the whole shebang airside being outsourced. I'm sure this is true across the board; I've been on many mine sites and its not much different there.

So is that also the fault of the Tory party?
