There are lots of problems with the forthcoming same sex marriage postal survey but the biggest one is voters are essentially voting blind in the absence of a bill.
Why do we not have a bill? You’d have to ask the Turnbull government. If you ask me, I’d say the Turnbull government doesn’t have the backbone to put one up and give some useful form of definition to what we will soon be checking the boxes of in the coming weeks. But that’s just me.
Right now we have a fierce debate going on about something we do not know and cannot possibly divine and this, of course, has led to a lot of talk about nothing.
The rather tedious example being shuffled about and one mirrored in the United States is the one associated with wedding cake bakers (they call themselves designers now but I’m not falling for that one) and whether some of them have the right to withdraw their services to same sex couples who are preparing to tie the knot.

It appears that the Libs are thinking of subsidizing the coal fired stations while at the same time keeping the subsidies for the renewables going so that the renewables can keep undercutting the coal fired stations.
The same companies own both types.
Somebody is going to clean up here and I am willing to bet it is not the consumers or the government.
I am glad that they are not trying to run a chook raffle at a country pub – it would be embarassing.
I think they’re modelling themselves on the ABC’s Utopia!
yup! we’re the loser’s in this caper mate. and for something as basic as keeping the country plugged in.
the way we are going I’m stocking up on cow dung….
Never has a more accurate comment ever been uttered on this blog JS.

Wait until they find out the cost of electricity in SA.
45 km/hr is about the right speed for Adelaide 🙂
Seriously though, the way Adelaide is laid out, it would be a lot easier for a driver-less car to navigate around there than say Sydney.
The square mile JS
Wait until they start subsidizing the subsidies–and then allow tax deductability.
meh…

WTF. Frydenberg after continually attacking the SA state government has just stood up in QT to claim responsibility for Pelican Point gas fired plant upgrade and getting contract and now he is back to lying about SA power policies. This coalition government is an absolute disgrace. For the sake of this Nation we need an election to remove this coalition cancer from the books.
Hold the phone. The screeching M. Cash appointed Hadgkiss knowing he had broken the law he was supposed to administer that is after we know the ;lies the coalition told the nation about why we needed re-regulation. Cash must resign. She is a disgrace.
All is not lost COHD is back with his cutting edge knowledge bank.
One of your extreme left winger idols is he honey?
Well dear from memory he was middle of the road.
Probably a pseudonym for Bassy 🙂
Brilliant!

Agile and Innovative? HAHAHAHAHA. WTF? What happened to that slogan. Turnbull is now using more slogans than the idiot abbott.
The AEMO highlighting the coalitions hypocrisy and misinformation.

Or leave the agreement…..
Dr John Hewson nails it. “It is worth pointing out that a true “conservative” response would be a purely market-based emissions trading scheme, using a market-determined carbon price to ensure the most cost-effective transition.” Liddel will take out 1000megawatts when it closes. the AEMO have 21,000 mega watts waiting to be allowed into the NEM. The coalition are continuing to LIE to the Australian people.
