I disagree, I think this could impact Labor if what he says regarding the potential size of the industry both for employment and economy is true. Especially given our poor situation in these areas.

They all talk a good game, remember Gina only worth about $15 Billion on the back of the ute whinging about the MRRT? That's part of the reason the Libs were flogged in WA the huge deficit they had in large part from not taxing the big miners enough. Now the boom is over see you later.

Do the tiser has there hands on the deal from Alinta to keep Pt.Augusta open until mid 2018.

Surely now surely this is enough for Steve Marshall and his liberals.

And Francis Bedford has even pissed off now.

Also in addition to the energy issues, Engie the Pelican Point operaters have made significant deals and contacts with customers and hence from July this year the second unit will be back in service and online. This will return the plants capacity to 480MW.

That will be helpful in the short term but we still have an issue which is 2 days away and thats the shut down of Hazelwood.

Some of this conduct is so seriously bad, you really question why they are not legally or statutorily brought to account

It seems they have one set of rules for Parliament and another outside

Must be an election in the air, as Govt ministers such as Malanaskaus, Bignell, as well as the Premier, greeting commuters at Adelaide Railway station this morning.

Forget about the bus strikes today which are aimed at not having passengers validate tickets. Normally I would validate mine regardless as the state government is a mob of assholes and will have an inspectors waiting. But today the driver actually managed to have the validator locked out in a fault mode.

Very funny but solid thinking.

Bignell still trying to pinch a AFLW Crows guernsey from a supporter?

John Olsen is a disgraceful 'human being'. An even slimier version of the current Labor clown in charge.
