    The Climate Change Thread

    No. Its half 4 in the morning and I want to go to bed. The penalties and hurdles for nuclear are what most of the rest of the world calls safe guards. You have a dictator at present who is removing all oversight of everything, where does this end up? I'm 12,000 miles away so I'm way beyond...

    Last good song you listened to?

    As a teenager things were very political. I grew up in a part of town with a huge drug and gang problem. It was a weird way to grow up, I was mostly insulated from it.

    The ALP was always in the box seat here but I think undoubtedly Trump has helped the Labor Party. The Liberals were excited by Trumps win and it must be remembered that the party membership of the Liberals is further to the right than the elected MPs. Their base and some of their MPs couldn't...
