The Turnbull Government

Malcolm Turnbull to announce millions in funding for Snowy Hydro 2.0 pet project
27 August 2017- James Massola : http://www.smh.com.au/federal-polit...owy-hydro-20-pet-project-20170827-gy5042.html
..The expansion of Snowy Hydro, which will conservatively cost at least $2 billion and which will take at least four years to complete, is designed to provide power for an extra 500,000 homes when finished.
...When completed, it will effectively function as a giant battery for the east coast electricity market and the new power station will have an estimated generation capacity of 2000 megawatts...

I'll take that as a comment

Shorten is a boring windbag, Turnbull is a boring, sanctimonious windbag.

I can't listen to either of them.

I would rather have Bowen for Labor , but I really can't think of any good Liberal performers since Bishop made a goose of herself over the NZ thing.

This morning Turnbull was being interviewed and on cue he managed to blame Bill Shorten for everything from Energy costs, the potential Korean war and Barnaby Joyce's dual citizenship. He continued to reinforce the suspicion that his party is gradually morphing into a 1980/90's Labor party and others are starting to question too:

Why do pollies think they can match it with Leigh Sales and/or Emma:

of course it's Bill Shorten's legacy that's at fault

Shorten tables papers showing he renounced his British citizenship.

The Labor Party is a tough gig to garner a guernsey and they have navigate through a mill of egotistical ar53holes to get there. Citizenship would be one of the first things people hankering preselection would throw up.

You notice this only happened after a fall in his personal polling?
Bill Shorten played a silly game and lost.

But what about this doozy? http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ne...p/news-story/1eed526f519de0e4c0e462d48f426029

The Daily Telegraph today revealed Mr Turnbull fronted Mr Abbott, labelling him a “disloyal c***” and giving a blunt assessment of his first 10 months as prime minister after the pair and several ministers attended a booze-fuelled, celebrity-studded Sydney party.

And he was dead right

Credit where credits due, 300 odd people beavering away at a revamped dam project assessment for pumped storage... Hats off a project that will stand and service a need for centuries.

On every other level the Turnbull shambles could only justly be described as a Spastic Siamese cat; A Spastic co-joined Siamese twin cat, joined ar$e to mouth.
Neo Conservative rejection convulsions.
Ideology inversion reinvention derangement
Self awareness delusion
Unable to see in the dark of its own making
Powering itself on its own crap and your taxes
Endlessly going in circles

and that's just James Patterson.... that's a little unfair to james, he suffered terrible deprivations at the IPA re-education 'facilities'. But nothing like the suffering they've got in store for you.

It's all very traditional Labor policy this building national infrastructure.

I'm of the mind to think that base load generation is a furphy that justifies privatised stations balancing fuel usage with capital expenditure, so that the station becomes a bandaided untenable piece of scrap.

Poor Malcolm is finding even his corporate mates are denying his version of events.

It was that c#$@ who finally, after many years, showed his and called out Bill to show his too.

Morrison only tells you the good news about the economy, he leaves it to the experts to tell us the real situation.

Household incomes dismal, wages flat and spending props up the economy. What could possibly go wrong?

The Liberal Party has always had wages in its target. To them economics is a very simple model of land, labour and capital. The aim is minimising wages and keeping a pool of cheap unskilled labour to put downwards pressure on the means of production.

That's why I don't vote for them anymore.

Exactly, and it's worked out really well hasn't it ?

Consumers represent 60% of the economy and they are being squeezed by low wages growth and higher prices for services they need.

I don't know why the Libs adopted the attitude they have back in the Fraser/Howard period, but it stuck and it stuck good.

In Micro the reasons are manifold; In Macro Fredrich (fcuking) Hayek...and the 'Fresh Water school'.
The spastic metiphor I used above in part illudes to the war on Unions the Liebral party has pursued for decades... the asendency of the 'Dollar Sweets' Dullard, Smirk'n Pete is illustrative( is he making an entrepreneurial buck these days, not likely, he's sucking off the revenue of the sale of the once public asset Telstra) ; Had his mother been publicly own he would have sold her... The only place there is going to be upward wage pressure that counts, Morrison's professed aim, is from where you have organised labor, an anathema to his very restricted thinking...
Their own spastic ideology is kicking them in the balls. And you to...

" let's go Serf'n now
every one's have'n to learn how
come on to subsuvence... with all those who own nothing and the growing numbers in the same boat..."

A great example of the Turnbull government supporting local industry.

Foreign ship builders are being told they do not need to partner with local companies to bid for projects under the Australian Government's $90 billion naval shipbuilding plan.

A Senate Inquiry has heard a Defence Force employee contacted international shipbuilding companies to ensure them they would not be mandated to work with Australian Companies.

West Australian shipbuilder Austal and its South Australian partner ASC are lobbying to have a slice of the Navy's Future Frigates program, which will be based on a yet-to-be-selected international design.

What is a frigate and why do we need them?

The Government's plan to build a new fleet of frigates and a new fleet of patrol boats was announced in its 2009 Defence White Paper as part of a focus on building maritime capabilities to the year 2030.



The inquiry heard that Defence department chief Kym Gillis phoned the three international bidders vying for the $35 billion contract to build frigates and told them they need not work with local companies.

Austal chief executive David Singleton told the hearing that after the foreign ship builders — Britain's BAE Systems, Italy's Fincatieri and Spanish company Navantia — were told they did not need to work with local companies, communication immediately ceased.
