It's mind boggling that the Turnbull government is now wants to make changes to the CEFC to include coal. It's the last thing the coal industry needs is more subsidies. Yet he is trying to flog this dead horse that is carbon capture and storage. The coal industry has already been caught out using a subsidy for clean coal to fund a propaganda campaign during the last election campaign. There are no large scale CSS in operation around the world and pilot studies have shown that coal power plants lose between 20-60% fuel output and the costs are huge.

It's very sad isn't it. There must be some powerful vested interests at play.

So many exciting technologies available, and we have to choose to go back in time and pretend coal is this amazing new fuel source, when it's widely recognised as the most polluting and damaging option out there.

That shot looks like the sinking titanic and eventually it's going to happen

It came to me a moment ago...wasn't it Malcolm who was accused by a Judge of "poisoning the fountain of justice" back in the 1980's when he did his master's bidding and filed a vexatious suit against a commissioner in the Costigan Royal Commission? It killed his career as a legal eagle I seem to recall.

Very interesting.

Here is one version of it, I wonder why Labor hasn't run with it.

Bill Shorten’s ex Debbie Beale was in the “Union Wives Club” with Kathy Jackson says Labor staffer
by Shane Dowling on December 10, 2016 in Bill Shorten

Bill Shorten and his former wife Debbie Beale were highly likely “benefiting from the proceeds of crime” given their previous close relationship with Kathy Jackson says newly appointed Labor Party staffer Peter Wicks. Peter Wicks, who since the 31st of October 2016 has been employed as a staff member by federal Labor MP Michael Danby, […]

Bill Shorten’s crime gang ignites civil war in the Labor Party and union movement
by Shane Dowling on December 4, 2016 in Bill Shorten, Senator Kimberley Kitching

In the last few days Bill Shorten’s allies have escalated a civil war in the Labor Party and union movement and it is now unavoidable that in the coming months it will explode. At the heart of the civil war is the ongoing fraud at the Health Services Union and now involves alleged fraud and misuse […]

Isn't that typical:
Turnbull and his ilk are exposed as sleezebags, liars, and cheats, and up comes - not a rational response, but a dish of dirt against another person's mate.
FFS, keep quiet if you don't have anything relevant to contribute. Bang your drum in one of your favourite hangouts that bash Labor. Heaven knows you've started an abundance of those. But if you can't find anything to say in Turnbull's defense, the old "others are also behaving badly" doesn't wash.

Pixel, I dislike Turnbull as much as you do and Shorten less still.......You lefties like to dish it out but just can't take your own medicine when it comes to criticism of your Fabian Leader or the Labor Party.

Too bad you don't like it.......This is what they call free speech...I know you lefties like to dominate this FORUM and it is a regular pattern of the left to character assassinate, intimidate and and ridicule an opposition if their opinion or comment is not to their liking.....You might be able to frighten some away with your delinquent tactic but there is no point of imposing it on me......Other prominent lefties have tried this caper and have failed miserably.......I really believed this bullying had stopped some months ago but you seem hell bent on using it again.

If you want to use the Kangaroo Court feel free to so but look at the other articles as well not just cherry pick on an article that just suits you.

Who in the the hell do you think you are telling me keep quiet?......Think again sport.

The combination of the omnibus legislation going through the senate which reduces family benefits and the reduction in penalty rates is going to bite hard for a lot of working/welfare class come June.

I bet there is still a significant number of those who will still vote Liberal/National at the next poll. And we wonder at blind faith in religion.

It's not your inane rants against your favourite fictions that I'm talking about, noco.
It's the observation that you try to divert attention from "The Turnbull Government", which is the subject of this thread, by going off-topic and attacking someone not to YOUR liking. In Internet etiquette, that's defined as trolling.
Nobody minds your contributions - but stick to the topic, "sport"!

Coalition's finished. First in WA and then Federally.

I think you are correct. A return to Abbott will hasten their demise.

Tony Abbott the wrecker, as if we didn't know...

Someone should persuade him and his acolytes to join Cori whatsisname and hide under a rock. Maybe they'll find a coal pit somewhere.
That would liberate the few halfway decent Liberals deserving of that name, who haven't lost their social conscience and believe in balance between personal rights and communal responsibilities.

Never fear, a steady hand at the tiller...there is nothing to fear Malcolm

The Liberal Party under Malcolm Turnbull and is deep $hit and Turnbull can only blame himself..... henever takes the blame and in this case he is blaming Tony Abbott.........Turnbull is losing voters left right and center and it is because he has gone too far to the left........I am starting to believe he wants the Green/Labor socialist coalition to win the next election and by gawd he going about it the right way.

With the polls the way they are, Turnbull should resign with dignity before there is an implosion in the Liberal Party.

At 10%, One Nation is nearly as popular as the Greens.
The original article under is behind the Aussie paywall:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/a...s/news-story/90040942626998eef7c2019dffd0506d
..The latest Newspoll, taken exclusively for The Australian, reveals a slump in the Coalition’s primary vote to 34 per cent, five points lower than in the weeks before Mr Turnbull toppled Mr Abbott as prime minister.
Disaffected voters have driven Pauline Hanson’s One Nation to 10 per cent of the primary vote, more than doubling that party’s support since November, as its leader seeks to echo Donald Trump’s appeal to conservatives...

'He knew exactly what he was doing': Malcolm Turnbull blames Tony Abbott's 'outburst' for Coalition's worst poll result in two years

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...bull-accuses-Tony-Abbott-sabotaging-poll.html

Spot on Malcolm, it's all Tonys' fault. Without him interfering I'm sure the LNP would have got into the high 30's.
Absolutely nothing to do with policies (or lack of them).

On question time at the moment, Barnaby and Chris Pyne have the answers, trouble is no one is asking the questions to the answers.
