To who MW?


No idea, I don't follow it that closely. I'm just not impressed by Marshall at all from what I've seen and heard of him.

this makes a lot of sense to me.

The only real question is why it hasnt been done at this scale before. its such a no brainer really.

Makes you wonder why stobie poles aren't adorned with panels, why every publicly owned building isn't covered in them.

Musk is a man who makes money with smart investment, if he and Weatherill are curled up on a bear skin rug in front of an open fire with a bottle of red I say good on them, I say to Jay give him what he ( Musk ) wants and it might be a foot into the future for SA.

The discount would have to be decent if they are going to install panels and batteries on my roof and I don't own them or own the power that they generate!

Wasn’t it mentioned to be about 30%?

They can put them on my roof if it reduces my bill by 30%.

Well, I bumped into the incumbent premier yesterday morning at our local coffee shop and discussed the third wheel with him, along with the debate that I watched most of.

He's of the opinion polls are split 1/3,1/3,1/3 meaning it really is anyone's race so far as winning the most seats goes.

( I felt like Psyber then )

Had a convo with an ALP spruiker earlier in the week and I suggested "you guys will win, no worries. Surely?"
The conversation moved on with no real reference to my comment, but five minutes later the comment was made that "you don't see the figures we see". I'm not sure to read too much into it, but it was an interesting comment.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.
