Well said. It is so ridiculous.

As an engineer calling solar old technology is just silly. Solar panels are only around 20-30% efficient at the moment. So it is a prime candidate for research dollars in my opinion, because any way to increase efficiency can be realised immediately because the production capability is already there. Would be a better way to spend money than say geothermal or wave energy which are both a long way off from being large scale commercial operations

Maybe we can now get some funding for laser stimulated Thorium fission development, which could with a little work be efficient, not weather dependent for full capacity energy output, and which is safe because the process stops when you turn off the laser.
It is also silent... 8)

As for wind farms and subsonics - the French were playing around with subsonic cannons using hyperbolic horn loading in the 1970s.
It worked, causing headaches and nausea in those it was tried on but was too large and cumbersome to be developed as a real weapon.
(They did however go on with developing the Neutron bomb, a weapon which could kill a city population without damaging the infrastructure - or the art works.)

There's no evidence that wind farms cause adverse effects in humans. This was recently addressed this year in a comprehensive Australian study.

Who"s the snake who leaked this so called carbon tax paper??
Find out who it is and sack them publicly!!!
This type of treachery is what makes politics such a cringeworthy career.
Both sides do it and I don't know what purpose it serves.

Surely it wouldn't be a frontbencher? And second in command.
She's got too much to lose.

Such a shame that Bronny Bishop is in a little bit of strife over a chopper ride and that Labor are using this as payback from all the members she has booted out in question time

My heart bleeds.

She needs to learn to show the title of Speaker respect not bring it in to disrepute like fellow Lib Peter Slipper. Slipper ended up siding with Labor and the Libs screamed murder about his cabcharge fairs to wineries (hardly even $5,000 helicopter ride to a Liberal Party function) so Labor should repay the favour and do nothing but call for her to resign immediately.

Even Joe Hockey of all people thought it was poor form.

So is this how it works?

She effectively gets an interest free loan from the tax payer.
But only had to pay back that "loan" if she was caught.
Great example of the haves telling the have nots to rort the system but don't get caught.

Seriously, the arrogance of these "!&%wits blows me away.

I read`a report somewhere that suggested she had paid extra to cover interest.
I agree it is poor form no matter who from any party does it.
