If you just ignore existing state and federal laws, the cost of nuclear waste, water use, decommissioning costs, rising construction costs, building a new industry from scratch, the falling cost of renewables and the fact that Dutton’s figures are blatantly cooked, his plan is actually reasonable.

Latest monthly CPI of 2.1% shows that Australia's inflation has come down faster than in the US and Canada - thanks to the govt bringing in measures like the electricity rebate.
It is a very good reminder that leaving inflation to central banks only to fix is idiotic

The good news: The empirical evidence is piling up.
Giving people a basic income and public housing saves a range of medical, policing, court, and prison costs.
It's more humane, effective, and cheaper than mutual obligation.
The bad news: The issue was never cost, efficacy, or evidence.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
