ACMA agreed. Even though Mr Bolt said his viewers "chose facts above fear" and presented his views as facts, ACMA believed his use of overblown language would have made the ordinary person realise he was only giving an opinion.

Serious question, what do neoliberals mean when they say this? I hear this line all the time but the only gains I can see over the recent decades are in inequality and grinding growth to zero. Like, when I press for details the best I get is that society hasn't completely imploded so maybe we should just keep on trucking and not mess with poo poo too much.

Help me help my dumb bad Liberal friends.

Energy companies withholding supply to blame for July price spike, report finds

Fossil fuel electricity generators in South Australia withheld their supply to push up prices and reap bigger profits, according to an analysis of the causes behind the extremely high prices there in early July.

The findings suggested some solutions proposed ahead of this week’s Coag energy council meeting for the so-called “energy crisis” like increasing the supply of gas in Australia won’t help the situation at all.

The three things often pointed to as possible causes of the price spikes, especially on 7 July, have been the closure of the Northern power station, the main Victoria-SA interconnector being down and wind farms not producing much power.

But in a report commissioned by GetUp, energy analyst Bruce Mountain showed the generation capacity that was available in the market still far exceeded the demand. However, besides those owned by Origin, all other fossil fuel generators continued to operate far below their capacity, only offering electricity to the market for a very high cost.

Just heard about this on the radio:

Manus Island: Children in detention 'unacceptable', WA Premier Colin Barnett says

West Australian Premier Colin Barnett says his Government would be prepared to accommodate asylum seekers from Nauru, ahead of the closure of the Manus Island Detention Centre in Papua New Guinea.

The state Liberal leader has weighed in over the fate of asylum seekers on Nauru, amid renewed concerns about conditions on the island.

The Federal Government has repeatedly ruled out resettling refugees from offshore processing centres.

But Mr Barnett said if the Commonwealth changed its mind, his state would be prepared to accept asylum seeker families.

"The answer to your question is that particularly for families, as long as they don't present a security or safety risk, I do welcome them being in Australia," Mr Barnett told the ABC's Lateline program.

"The one thing I find unacceptable is children in detention."

Mr Barnett stopped short of demanding the Federal Government reconsider its position.

"I wouldn't call on the Federal Government but if they decide to do that we would certainly accommodate a number of them [asylum seekers] in Western Australia and we'd certainly support them as a state government."

Judge sympathises with Children's Court guard who had sex with 'worldly' 14-year-old

A former Children's Court security guard has been released on a good behaviour bond for having sex with a 14-year-old he met outside the court building, with a judge saying the man was "not made of steel".

Franco Abad, 32, had been in a sexual relationship with the girl for some weeks, believing she was 17, over the legal age of consent of 16.
