Universal Love TRTT Part 6: The Undiscovered Ken

Just farken have some balls and build a nuclear plant. The Greenies won’t vote for you anyway and after the ‘oh no we’ll start
Glowing’ scare campaign is past we’ll have baseload carbon friendly power.

Marshall is pro nuclear. If things go well, it will emerge as an issue for debate again. He actively campaigned against it when Labor had power because he was interested in taking credit for it should he get the chance to go with it if elected.

Maybe. Just maybe. We can hope.

Needed.

No, SA needs to invest in its future rather than cut everything and grind to a halt. Austerity never, ever works.

I should clarify, restructure and refocus. Not cut. There are so many great opportunities for optimisation that labor were always too scared to do because they fear the wrath of the unions.

You can't even re-define a person's role without the union poo-pooing it. It's ridiculous.

Marshall is a dud nothing will get done

why in the * do we need a nuclear plant?

it'll take 20 years to come online when we're already at 50% with renewables anyway

a few more batteries for storage, some pumped hydro and we can be at 100% within a few years

in the other states where most of their generation is still coal it might be a good idea. it's completely unnecessary here.

Narrow view. We're talking nuclear fuel cycle which isn't just about nuclear power.

 

[sobrave]

Don't recall ever hearing Marshall speak.

he's an incompetent buffoon but will make a good stooge for turnbull as long as he's there.

Going by the history of the Libs, 'restructure' and 'refocus' essentially means cut to the bone. The SA Labor govt, for their many many faults, were sort of getting the state on the right track recently. As someone else mentioned in this thread, if we were going to vote out Labor, two terms ago would have been the more sensible time.

Whelp, we just elected the political equivalent of a piece of wet lettuce.

Sometimes you need to cut to force efficiency and innovation and doing more with less, it would be temporary. Because after you make cuts, you can then make allocations at a later date which will be politically motivated. Many areas have gotten away without cuts for far too long and as a result there is an incredible amount of wastage. They've got to learn to do things better and sometimes you have to force that.

pretty sure he said nuclear plant, you're the one who brought up the fuel cycle which a separate issue.

if you think being a waste dump is the saviour of SA then good on ya. there's plenty of other locations around the world which also have large expanses of desert, but there are reasons they havent volunteered to be a repository of nuclear waste. it's a pretty short term view to volunteer for something that is going to provide an (arguable) economic benefit and a potential environmental impact over hundreds of thousands of years. not to mention the native title issues over the suggested locations.

[raman]

******* hell a flamewar over a state election, we need footy.

 

[Power Girl]

There'd be working class types who voted for that charlatan.

"He'll get rid of the pokies and bring back TOOBS!"

How so when his preferences went to Liberal ... or didn't they know?

Damn right. Good thing my job is essentially around trimming the fat and supporting that trimming with fact and strategy. Looking forward to getting stuck in.

 

[Needs Gravy]

Will be interesting to see the impact the change in government has on SAHealth. Whole range of back of house problems they need to fix

Most of Xenophons ballots preferences labor or were open ballots with no preferences on how to vote cards.

Apparently the open ballots preferences were about 50/50

EPAS is a ******* mess. Everyone they bring in to deal with it bails shortly after. Big task.

Lol I didn't flame anyone.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol such a weird vibe at the labor HQ it's like "we had a good run"

 

[Power Girl]

I just look forward to the next actual election year when they chuck some money at essential services health, roads, eduation, police and they all pretend they are different and that they actually friggen care. So play on it will be mainly business as usual for the next 3
