The Prime Minister has threatened the private sector the government will forcibly intervene in the gas market and build a new power station in the NSW Hunter Valley unless it can come up with a plan and funding over the next seven months.

Scott Morrison will today call for the exploration of more gas reserves including the creation of a new gas hub in Queensland.

"As we turn to our economic recovery from COVID-19, affordable gas will play a central role in re-establishing a strong economy we need for jobs growth, funding gas services and opportunities for all of us," Mr Morrison will say in a speech.

Morrison a filthy commo now? Reds under the lodges' cubby house.

How quickly Libs flick the switch to choice. Choice the corner stone of LNP, superannuation, age care, education yet denied here. I'm confused

Why would the private sector want to fund a project nobody wants? Looking forward to seeing that smirking prick throw his toys out of the cot.

ChairmanScotty is feeling nimble in his effervescent flex of his authoritarian fervour, his dictatorial glean!

How is that free market working out

The Morrison Government is full of shit,they will go down in history as the first Liberal Government to put us in the worst recession since the Great Depression, Robert Menzies would be turning in his grave,shame on all you Liberals in the Government today,you are a disgrace !

How is that a threat? Industry is like, go for it champ. You’re saving us a crapload doing our work for us.

Bully boy!!

Overheard in Cronulla: 'DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE AND COMMAND ECONOMY YOU!'

Morrison is all bluster and wind, no actual plan and this will never come off.

Sounds like the old Soviet Russia to me.

Morrison picking losers. Again.

Promises to lobbyists must be kept, after all.

The free market is actively trying to stop climate change by realising coal and gas are no longer viable investments, but our corperate socialists government is saying fine, we'll force you to do it. We can't win!!! auspol

When the “free market” isn’t working the way LiberalAus wants it to, it will intervene so it will work the way it wants it to for their donors. Hopeless, setting us back decades economically. ScottyFromMarketing

Great news ....can’t wait for the fracking to begin

Well when you privatise everything....shallow words from the dud,lying,divisive,lazy PM and his laughable government

Market forces my arse. This is socialism!

Huzzah! Liberal party returning to socialism!

We could do with a few more Powerstations in Queensland we need those prices to drop.

So communism it is then comrades

Scotty Stalin

Isn't that what they do in socialist countries? A bit like the US where its becoming confused about what is/is not socialism with force buying of foreign companies.

The 'invisible hand of the market' at work! The so called 'liberal' party looking pretty illiberal these days

Prime Moron makes Another Grandiose Dictatorial Announcement 🤣 ElSupreMo ScottNoIdea 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now watch the climate change freaks have a meltdown.

So much for the 'free market'.

👏👏👏👏👏

How quickly Libs flick the switch to socialism when their precious market fails taxpayers again!

Yeah, sure they will ! Morrison does a lot of talking but no one takes much notice these days. If the government were to commission a power station, it would be years away. If new legislation was required. It would not pass the senate, and never happen.

I would've made it 7 days, this has gone on for way too long

Australia is handing over its privacy 'in the name of security' | Sky News AustraliaPsychiatrist Dr Tanveer Ahmed says the notion of privacy has changed in Australia as, in the name of security, increasingly extreme forms of monitoring are being allowed. \n\n“Drones now patrol the city in Melbourne patrolling social distancing protocols,” Mr Ahmed said. \n\n“The Covid safe app monitors our movements.\n\n“Our internet behaviour already produces gigabytes of data for commercial use for the likes of our Silicon Valley overlords- Google, Facebook, Amazon etc.”\n\nMr Ahmed said Sydney has about 60 thousand surveillance cameras and was only a step away from incorporating facial recognition systems. \n\n“In the name of security, we've allowed all types of monitoring that civil liberty types are up in arms about,” he said. \n\n“Every new technological, legal, and cultural development raises concerns about the death of privacy. \n\n“No one wants us to be like China, but authoritarianism is on the march in even the places we consider bastions of freedom. \n\n“Privacy is central to liberty. \n\n“But arguably, privacy is also a privilege. \n\n“Do we really have a right to privacy and how do we draw up the limits?”\n\nImage: Getty IDONOTCONSENT TakeAustraliaBack info_libertes La!!

Australia potentially relying on foreign rice production is ‘laughable’: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says the imminent collapse of Australia’s rice industry is purely a metaphor for a wider problem.\n\nIt was revealed on Monday, Australia’s total rice production is down 80 per cent.\n\nThe Chief Executive of Sunrice – one of Australia’s biggest rice producers – said the country is at risk of running out of rice by Christmas, as the company slashed a third of its workforce.\n\nMr Jones said this has been “an ongoing disgrace,” pointing the finger at the growing issue of Australian water allocation as a primary cause.\n\nAustralian farmers have not only had to suffer through drought, but given the nature of private water holdings, some have been unable to access the necessary resource to continue production.\n\n“We have the most productive and the most efficient rice industry in the world,” Mr Jones said.\n\n“The issue today is whether or not we’re going to maintain supply here by importing from Vietnam.\n\n“We’ll face the problem of having to import food from overseas. It’s laughable.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia AnnastaciaMP is credlin sucking scott morrisons dick now? how does tony abbott feel about that?

COVID is ‘not the only health crisis’ Australia is facing: Peta Credlin | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rita Panahi says the preoccupation with one virus will lead to “a cancer crisis” with people not receiving critical prevention treatments as experts have warned.\n\n“People aren’t getting those cancer screenings, they’re not presenting for blood tests, they’re not getting that early intervention … and people at the end of their lives are not getting the care they should be,” she said.\n\nSky News host Peta Credlin said of course coronavirus is important but “it’s not the only health crisis we’re facing as a country”.\n\n“It’s just got out of control. It’s absolute tunnel vision here in Victoria.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia RitaPanahi host RitaPanahi says RitaPanahi This really is a national shame where is the PM? rogue premiers are bringing this country to its knees RitaPanahi Avoiding covid overloading the health system is what they were trying to into people's heads right at the beginning.

New modelling advice suggests Dan Andrews should 'redo the roadmap' | Sky News AustraliaHealth Minister Greg Hunt says new advice from the University of Melbourne has given the Andrews government the opportunity to “redo the roadmap” and set “achievable targets”.\n\nThe Health Minister told Sky News academics from the university have indicated modelling produced by the institution should not be used to “justify zero cases as the basis for the roadmap”.\n\n“They’ve encouraged Victoria to redo the roadmap,” Mr Hunt said.\n\n“I think the improvement in contact tracing and the statements from the University of Melbourne mean we really have the opportunity now to work with Victoria, for them to work with the business community and the academic and medical community'. \n\nMr Hunt also said the Victorian government had finally adopted measures proposed by the Commonwealth which included working with NSW to develop an automated streamlined contact tracing system and the introduction of local public health units.\n\nThese new measures “increase the ability to give people back hope, to give people back freedoms and movements and therefore to support their mental health,” he said.\n\nImage: Getty GregHuntMP Hopefully he is removed from this map!

Palaszczuk's tough border stance has made her 'the Queensland version of Donald Trump' | Sky News AustraliaNationals Senator Matt Canavan says this past fortnight has seen the 'absurdity' that is the Queensland government’s policy on border restrictions, adding it has just “collapsed upon itself”.\n\nMr Canavan told Sky News there is widespread support for restrictions on travel from areas where COVID-19 is, but the Queensland government put 'far too much stock in that and far too little stock in actually making the sensible decisions on the ground that impact real human beings'. \n\n“Too wrapped up in focusing on being tough on borders, Annastacia Palaszczuk has become a Queensland version of Donald Trump … building the wall keeping all of the Mexicans out from down south.\n\nMs Palaszczuk was heavily criticised this week after a 26-year-old Canberra woman was only allowed to leave hotel quarantine for a private viewing of her father’s body, however, was not permitted to attend the funeral on Thursday with her mother and 11-year-old sister.\n\n“That was just a completely heartless approach and then later in the week there was a gutless approach with the premier throwing her own medical officer under the bus and putting her out in front of the media and refusing to face the cameras herself,” he said.\n\nImage: Getty mattjcan Is Matt still on BigGina’s friends circle? mattjcan it has just “collapsed upon itself”, the “absurdity' that is Nationals Senator mattjcan mattjcan Hey Matty, we’ll see on Election Day who has collapsed again.

Federal Government was pushing Victoria to do more on contact tracing 'for months' | Sky News AustraliaSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell is questioning why Victoria and New South Wales didn’t “swap notes on contact tracing and the like” months earlier. \n\n“It was a full day session involving a deputy secretary of the federal department of health, Commodore Mark Hill, who heads up the ADF response in Victoria, the Chief Scientist Alan Finkel and senior Victorian health officials,” Mr Clennell said.\n\n“The officials were shown the NSW state operations centre and taken through all the co-ordination of pathology services and testing and contact tracing operations which has led NSW to be a success and stay out of lockdown.\n\n“They were told about the police hotels for international travellers and the health hotels where overseas travellers with coronavirus are taken.\n\n“Dan Andrews and the PM set this group up, but I asked a federal source why they were not sent up months ago. \n\n“They said that the federal government had been trying to get the Victorians to do more on contact tracing for months.”\n\nMr Clennell also said Victoria recorded just 37 new cases on Saturday and his concern is even if the state opens up soon, is there “such undetected community transmission around or are they just unable to have the contact tracing capacity to stop a third wave.'\n\nImage: News Corp Australia aclennell I don't know.
