Across the board there is very little difference between ALP and LNP. The best voices in parliement are amongst the independents.

Under Albanese, the ALP has just slowly morphed into a party much like the LNP. They have buggerall in significant policy and are just determined to cling onto power for powers sake whilst protecting the moneyed class.

Perhaps should start calling him a criminal rather than a felon. I think many of his supporters are too dumb to know what a felon is.

As a scientist with a good idea where climate change is going, I would avoid having children out of concern for them.

Put the money in a frozen "Russian Assets" fund and then allow Ukraine to borrow against it for the war effort.

I am old enough to remember the Liberal party under Menzies. In some aspects it would be considered left of todays ALP.eg In 1960's I went through uni with all course fees paid and also a living allowance (Tax free) equal to the then minimum wage None of this had to be repaid later.

My 14 year old solar panels are effectively self cleaning. Never had maintenance to date, original lifetime estimate was 25 tears. Do note though that efficiency has dropped off since first installed.

Its 31c/kWH for me if I buy grid power but my rooftop solar costs 2c/kWH All this is initial capital cost - (no ongoing cost in 14 years). Most of Canada's electricity is also from renewables, particularly hydroelectricity

Due to renewables the production cost of electricity is actually decreasing. Your costs are increasing because transmission costs and retail margins are both increasing. Every time poles and wires come down in a storm, costs go up.

Limited benefit to those with solar panels though. I generally do not use grid electricity between about 9.am and 4.pm, all power comes from my solar. However it will be good for those without solar panels.

It makes more sense when you accept that the Nationals are really the mining party. Their talk of supporting farmers and country jobs is just for show.
