Cant wait until the blackouts start teaching melbournians the harsh lesson that as a nation we use twice as much energy as we should, when everyone starts trying to run their aircon over summer

Wot?

That would be a real easy lesson for politicians to learn that the voters want to run back to coal pronto.

I'm sure power companies with would welcome them with open arms - with conditions.

I saw a thing on the ABC saying some uni students from the area were trying to start up a green energy company with as many workers from the plant as they could. Don't know how that will work out though.

There's some cool ideas about using tailing dams from mines as storage mechanisms for renewable energy.

My Little Tony: Leadership is Magic
If those creditors don't take this golden opportunity to destroy Family First and ruin Malcolm's day I'm going to be seriously disappointed. If nothing on the growing list of fuckups and pointless cruelties the government has going will make people hate them, then bankrupting the crossbench will at least stop them from doing whatever insane thing they'll want to do next.

All we need now is a bunch of people that Pauline Hanson owes money to and parliament will be saved

But Bob Day "forgave" that $1.5 million loan, so it's all okay now and the Family First party doesn't have to pay back that money to anyone :downs:

You have to try pretty hard to make Cliver Palmer's refinery failure look like a high achievement and it looks like Bob Day's effort is paying off.

He'll get right on it once he launches his coup from his position as Minister of Indigenous Affairs.
Then he'll make the Liberal party more powerful right wing than Malcolm could imagine.

Apparently Bob Day told a journalist that he forgave the loans becausw they were for his own election and not the benefit of the party in general. That seems like he is saying that his seat should not automatically go to the next FF candidate.
