charged with one count of basic assaultSpeaking to the Upper House about the Equal Opportunity Parliament Amendment Bill, which seeks to hold MPs more accountable for their behaviour, Ms Bonaros said she "will not be silenced"."Let me be extremely clear: every single day I get to feel the humiliation of what he did to me, and to others in this place, and to the very decent people who work in this place.

"All too often, we've become so consumed by the political point scoring in this place … that we fail to acknowledge the impact that our behaviour has on others," she said. "No regard for the fact that attending functions to which I was invited, in my capacity as a member of this place, became absolutely impossible for the very same reasons."The incident was made public weeks after it allegedly happened, and Ms Bonaros said she "had not intended to discuss this matter openly" at that stage.

Hide in a hole given many of the people who were criticising the victorian govt for not opening quickly enough are now criticising them for opening too quickly, my guess is the qld opposition will continue with their bad faith attacks aided by the fed lib bully machine ;) ScottyFomMarketing tried to attack the Queensland Government, and politicise the response - and that position has backfired, spectaculary

Prime Minister's Snowy Hydro 2.0 project an 'energy destroyer': Craig kelly | Sky News AustraliaLiberal MP Craig Kelly says the Snowy Hydro 2.0 project, spruiked by the prime minister as a low-carbon emissions job creating initiative, is “a destroyer of energy not a creator of energy”. \n\nSnowy 2.0 is a nation-building renewable energy project which will aim to provide on-demand, cost effective energy, and large-scale storage.\n\nThe project involves plans to link two existing dams and pump water to the upper dam when there is surplus energy production and release the water back to the lower dam to generate energy when electricity demand is high. \n\nMr Kelly said a potential problem with the project was “you lose up to 50 per cent of the energy that you actually use in the system”. \n\nMr Kelly said he was yet to be convinced of the economic case for Snow 2.0. \n\n“The only way it makes economic sense is if you can buy the electricity for virtually nothing in the middle of the night,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nMr Kenny said this was “not the ringing political endorsement” which would be expected of Coalition MP’s in the lead-up to the Eden Monaro by-election, but Mr Kelly insisted he was committed to calling it as he sees it. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia CraigKellyMP CraigKellyMP Stupid man says stupid thing.
