I'm pro-nuclear power, but very much anti-nuclear power in Australia. There's no way this sorry sack of cunts could be trusted to safely operate a nuclear power plant, no matter how well designed and safe they are now - which, to be sure, is very. They'd either cut every corner, hide every failure because it would make the minister look bad if anything got out, or stock the upper levels of control of the station with bootlicking goons who'd run it into the ground. All while Dutton petitions to change the laws so they can bury waste in children's playgrounds in poor suburbs.

Save 40 bill by gutting the public service so you can spend 80 bil on contractors.

A food industry heavyweight says Australians are ‘profit shaming’ a sector in crisis. I'm genuinely struggling to come up with a response to this more coherent than "get hosed you pack of dog cunts".

I get so loving angry with dog cunts like these appropriating the language of mental health and acceptance to justify their outright evil bullshit. Anyone who genuinely uses a term like "profit shaming" should be fired into the sun.

it's funny how "social housing!" is still accepted as a cultural touchstone for doing it tough when so many disadvantaged people nowadays would give their right arm for a chance at getting into social housing. it's so far out of reach for most that it might as well be a luxury good. incidentally, some people who grew up in social housing in sydney in the 80s/90s ended up with a huge advantage once they were given ownership. i know several people who sold a single housing unit they'd lived in for forty years and were able to buy two houses in a non-sydney locality for the price. it was all about being in the right time at the right place during that brief shining window of opportunity when the system was accidentally working to lift people up, and albo reaped the benefits of that too.

...so did the budget actually have any courage at all to change anything fundamentally (wrt the housing crisis, cost of living, ...) or are we going to keep heading the way we're headed but just throw a little money to provide a temporary reprieve (for some at least)?

Rooftop solar is now a problem for the grid, causing voltage and stability issues. The grid needs upgrading to allow more rooftop solar to be added. As the grid owners are legislated to receive a regulated return on investment, they will recoup the cost of this from somewhere and slugging the people who are benefitting/going to benefit seems fair to me. I do think that grids should be operated by governments as a not-for-profit service like health care, education etc, but that argument was lost long ago. Ultimately it's a small cost. If you're currently earning a feed in tariff (FIT) of say 6c per kw/h, this will be reduced by around 1 or 2 cents for generation during the middle of the day and increased by a similar amount if you generate early in the morning or late in the afternoon. As always the best option is to utilise all of your generation yourself. Or if you don't like the price you're receiving, don't sell to the grid and curtail your generation. It will help the economic case for load shifting with batteries (or hopefully vehicle-to-grid) but the numbers don't quite stack up yet. It does seem backwards but the alternative (apart from removing regulated return) is that all consumers foot the bill of upgrading the grid so that people wealthy enough to install panels on their free standing home can do so. One of the other side effects of the massive expansion of roof top solar is that it is eating into the financial viability of large scale grid solar which is significantly more efficient. I'm a fan of more solar on roof tops and large scale, but we are starting to see some of the challenges that will need to be addressed as we decarbonise.

Well as the grid is a natural monopoly, the regulated return essentially puts a cap on profits. If it wasn't regulated, the private owners could charge whatever they want, knowing that there is no competition. Return the grid to public ownership. Although even the state owned grid companies still seek to maximise their return as it's an effective form of arms length taxation for the states.

So it shifts the costs to those wealthy enough to install solar panels, but not to those wealthy enough to afford a battery? Given the current high costs of household batteries, this just seems like a massive gently caress you to people trying to be responsible.
