Wouldnt coal miners argue thats what progressives are doing today?

Fair point. I guess thats an advantage of the FOFO set up.

If the mine feeds a powerstation and the grid, the infrastructure connections to the grid suggest pumped hydro and renewables ther.

OK it’s not labor intensive but neither is modern mining

Looks like we underestimated josh….how really really bad he was. Not only were the car parks not wanted, they weren’t going to be delivered in the same electoral cycle. And each car park costing the same as 100 e bikes.

And the cost blowouts….would that have been council or feds paying? Boroondara already has plenty of car parking, but most of it is set at 2 hours or paid…..revenue for the council

Unpublished draft documents, obtained under freedom of information, for the first time reveal the cost blowouts – and extent of community opposition – to the commuter car parks project.

Frydenberg appointed Asia adviser at Goldman Sachs​

Speculation has been rife about the next move of former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, after losing the seat of Kooyong to Independent candidate Monique Ryan.

Goldman Sachs has today announced Frydenberg’s appointment as Senior Regional Adviser for Asia Pacific.

Simon Rothery, Chief Executive Officer for Goldman Sachs in Australia and New Zealand said in the financial institution’s statement:

Our Australian clients will greatly benefit from Josh’s insights and expertise that have been gained from an impressive career which includes experience and perspectives across a range of sectors,.

Frydenberg said:

I am pleased to join Goldman Sachs which is the pre-eminent mergers and acquisitions and capital markets adviser to clients globally. I look forward to joining the team and contributing to the firm’s leadership, its global capability, and its strength of client franchise.

They presumably have the same dream I do that a parliament of independents, debating issues on merit and forming a consensus view on best solutions would be the best possible form of democracy.

Reality would suggest that's never going to happen, and if they don't unite themselves into a party then someone else will find a way to fill that space as a dominant centre-right force. If it's not a reformed Liberal Party, someone like Frydenberg but with genuine leadership and willpower could do it.



Not that it'd happen... but imagine if Turnbull rocked up in 2026 to run the Allied Democratic Party and managed to get Julie Bishop out of retirement in WA, Xenophon as part of the team in SA and the likes of Frydenberg on board combined with some already sitting members from the Libs and Teals. That'd very quickly turn the now conservative Christian dominated Libs into just the sort of party that Corey Bernardi always wanted it to be, and they could take their 5% national vote with them to sit alongside the Greens on the crossbench.

I'm just confused as to why you kept mentioning Frydenburg as if he is some kind of asset, and not a complete failure that would be a millstone around the neck of this theoretical party?
Does he bring anything to the table apart from rancid dog shit?

Well look at this. The former treasurer just happens to land a plumb job at a firm who hasn't paid any taxes in the last three years....



Funny that.

That's an absolute joke given that the government that he was a senior member of was so negligent in the Pacific that China was able to walk in almost unimpeded.

Excellent summary of the election boat scare scandal from Mark Kennedy.

'What we've seen happen with conservative governments around the world is that they just 'walk through' (democratic) conventions and it turns out that conventions only exist when they are mutually observed and universally respected. When governments decide not to follow (those conventions) there's no sanctions. It didn't work on the day but it was a very desperate act that reflects extremely poorly on the PM and Karen Andrews who should be considering her position right now'

This is exactly the sort of thing that should go to a Federal ICAC.

Liberal shill Phil Coorey virtually saying there's nothing to see here and we should move on. Reckons he's not qualified to comment. (that has never stopped him before)
