AdamBandt Bandt, why don’t you go on a speaking tour of Syria and give us a break from your 💩!

AdamBandt No one in their right minds gives a shit what the greens say

AdamBandt Sounds beautiful to me.

AdamBandt

AdamBandt Need base load power from somewhere, wind and solar alone won’t cut it

AdamBandt Yep because its a good reliable base load that can quite easily be supplimented by renewables when they are on line and working...a match made in heaven. All we need is big daddy nuclear and we have the perfect family

Government should respond by introducing a bill removing subsidies from wind and solar.

AdamBandt And the problem is?

We know the Labor/Greens plan for Australia. Everyone must sacrifice all comforts live in the dark ages to appease climate gods and union superfunds auspol skynews abc smh heraldsun

AdamBandt Let’s hope so.

AdamBandt They just don't get it...only in politics to push their own 'beliefs' personal agenda - not the public good

AdamBandt Ssshhh .... don't tell the poor chap, but Australia is still wedded to coal, and will be for decades. 63% of electricity production last year.

AdamBandt Good at least our lights will be kept on. Why should other countries use our coal to and we can’t

AdamBandt China is currently developing coal power capacity equal to that of the entire capacity of the USA. Coal is hot right now.
