Sky News host Peta Credlin says the Opposition gave ‘no thought’ to the practical issues of their electric car target and that it shows how ‘arrogant and entitled’ they have become.
Ms Credlin says Labor has not ‘done the hard yards’ on policy, evident in their lack of detail regarding how thousands of electric cars will impact the electricity grid. Ms Credlin says the government has responded to the policy with sharp messaging and could be the election contest that ‘Labor didn’t expect’. Image: News Corp Australia

chriskkenny DickSmithFairGo OMG ... it's way worse than I thought. 😟
DickSmithFairGo Hey Dick Check this power generator out! It was here when I arrived.
DickSmithFairGo The sun is shining, wind blowing, batteries storing, waves lapping 24/7 Dick. Always have, always will. Portable volts. Try to be a modern man. You know it’s fossils like you who are hindering the renewable electricity industry. Who’da thunk it. A dinosaur in Dick Smith.
DickSmithFairGo Murdock c’mon your desperation is showing. Electric cars are here, you can’t stop it. Hopefully very soon the media laws in Aus will be changed to stop foreign ownership. Your cancer needs a cure.
DickSmithFairGo No wonder your tech stores collapsed, youre a fraud and opportunist hence why you failed
chriskkenny DickSmithFairGo There are even more points that no one has mentioned. Where does Lithium come from? Mining, so let close coal mines just to open Lithium mines. Also batteries require a lot of energy to make, and also them to dispose of them when they die. Do the impacts out way the savings
DickSmithFairGo Those horseless carriages will never take off...
DickSmithFairGo London most days other countries can do more
DickSmithFairGo Yeah Australia is to bigger place to be able to sustain electric car at the moment power plants need to be built leaving Barron desert land to go to waste which could be turned into Forrest solar power wind power hydro electric power can all be built but they continue to ignore
DickSmithFairGo Computers, mobile phones used to be really expensive & hardly anyone could afford one. Solar-powered charging stations eg. Most tradies & professional drivers are contractors & would probably LOVE not being $$$ out of pocket for petrol between tax returns!
DickSmithFairGo Just when you thought we'd reached Peak Crazy on ElectricCars, chriskkenny & DickSmithFairGo set a new standard of stupidity! The grid has plenty of capacity - have a listen... EnergyNetworkAu ElectricVehicles simonahac BJafari EVTimOZ auspol
DickSmithFairGo Surely dick if you remove let’s say 50% of combustion engines by 2050 world wide We are decreasing our carbon footprint. Bye then solar and wind could possibly replace 50% of coal power stations. Is that not a vision worth working towards. Quantify wealthy please?
DickSmithFairGo
DickSmithFairGo Reviving car manufacturing? Won't last. The high wages and overheads in Australia means that it will be unprofitable for the manufacturer.
DickSmithFairGo I can use the excess power my solar panels generate - power which gets sold back to the grid for cents. The only loser is Origin who re-sells my excess power for a massive profit. Oh and BP because I don't buy their petol.
DickSmithFairGo Poor Dick. Either no idea or is being deliberately mischievous. I suspect the latter. Still railing against 21st century progress.
GrayConnolly DickSmithFairGo In New England, electric automobiles are fueled by partly by hydro, but mainly by coal or nuclear power.
DickSmithFairGo What a load of rubbish. You, of all people, should recognise the advent of new technologies brings opportunity and expansion accompanied by new jobs and skills. The first mobile phones were hugely expensive now even kids have them. Where have you missed all this? auspol
DickSmithFairGo Some good points raised by Dick...
DickSmithFairGo Even with coal powered stations. Electric cars create less CO2. This is simple economies of scale. They also present the opportunity of zero emissions power, which is impossible with an ICE.
DickSmithFairGo The only ones proposing coal generators are the Liberals?
DickSmithFairGo Just a few years and prices will drop , like all new tech. Commercial flights at first were exclusively for the rich now anyone can afford it
DickSmithFairGo Dick proves he is a fossil. Other markets have seen the price drop dramatically. The running cost of something like the Chevy Bolt is about 30% of petrol with almost no servicing costs and 400km range. Added to that is better acceleration than most new petrol vehicles.
DickSmithFairGo Dick hasn't heard of solar power it seems...
DickSmithFairGo Not seeing a lot of evidence that Dick got to where he is on merit.

Labor’s ‘uncosted’ climate policy a danger to economy | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says Labor’s new, ‘uncosted’ climate policy is ‘a danger’ to the Australian economy and ‘an assault on our very way of life’. \n\nMs Credlin says the policy refuses to let farmers manage their land, will see voters’ cars put off the road, and will result in power prices going up. \n\nIn contrast, Ms Credlin believes last night’s budget announcement was a demonstration of the Morrison government’s competence to run the country. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n\n most people want a double in the refugee intake and they also want electric card I would trust her judgment. No! I’m shocked, never thought Peta would say anything like that

Govt’s task is to show Labor is a ‘party of poverty: Credlin | Sky News AustraliaPeta Credlin says Labor ‘was always’ going to promise average voters that they could have it all, with more spending, less taxing and a bigger surplus.\n\nThe Sky News host notes the challenge for the Morrison government will be to demonstrate how Labor’s ‘Robin Hood taxes’ won’t just hit ‘the so-called rich’ but will ‘hurt the poor even more’, due to higher prices, lower asset values and more ‘government micro-managing of their daily lives’. \n\nMs Credlin says the Coalition’s political task is to show Labor not as the ‘party of fairness’, but the ‘party of poverty’. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n No wonder ratings are crap they rubbish labour 90 percent of the time He’s because it’s a ludicrous lie.

Adani approval should be based on science, not politics: Taylor | Sky News AustraliaFULL INTERVIEW: Liberal frontbencher Angus Taylor says the final approval of the Adani Carmichael mine should be determined by 'science, not politics.'\n\nThe $22 billion project is awaiting final approval from Environment Minister Melissa Price, with some Queensland Coalition MPs pushing for the project to be given the green light before the federal election.\n\nThe mine, based in Galilee Basin, still needs to be cleared by the Queensland Labor government before it can commence.\n\nMr Taylor has told Sky News host Peta Credlin that while the Coalition supports the project, it needs to go through the proper administrative channels before construction can commence.\n\n\n\n\n LiberalAus AngusTaylorMP He is totally correct but not any chance with this government based on their track record. Lies, obsfucation and misinformation are their approach. LiberalAus AngusTaylorMP Ok Science... Adani will get 1000 megalitres of water a day for the mine. What does science say would happen if that was pumped into the dying Darling river system? Or how would it impact farmers if they could get it? LiberalAus AngusTaylorMP Crap Minister😯 A rule for Angus and a rule for Angus😢😡

That's the way to traffic drugs the legal way.... This is a very real thing. I personally can say that by waiting near 2 years for surgery through public health system the only thing Dr will do is just write scripts for pain killers. I have compression on my nerves in C5 C6 and C7. Took a year to be seen by surgeon and yr 2 wait ye they have made weed illegal..

SkyNewsRicho Guess we'll just have to wait until they run out of other peoples money. auspol
