Its virtue signalling, just like them taking on other corporate entities. Introduce some token action that is easily sidestepped.

Yep, there is absolutely nothing they can of significance and any token gesture will be easy to get around. They love threatening people with the toothless tiger that is the ACCC which always makes me laugh

Approved feed in tariffs for solar to be reduced to an amount of .04 cents. Not to be confused with 4 cents but .04 of a cent. I think the current minimum in vic is around 3 cents.
Does anybody know why they would have approved / recommended this ?

Must be easily persuaded by the energy lobbyâŚfunny thing is that electricity prices will still go up even after these âsavingsâ - basically generating free electricity for energy companies that are able to mark it up by some 10000% when selling it.

I can hook her up with my missus, sheâs both asian and a one eyed bomber.
Itâs the biggest load of â â â â â . They canât and wonât do anything to make any impact. Itâs just PR spin to make people think theyâre doing stuff in cost of living situation.
Jeez. BacchusFox please give Albo a call and suggest he keep his hands off babies and refrain from kissing them. It is not acceptable behaviour.
I dont mind the guy, but my wife objected to it vehemently. I suspect many others also would.
Everyoneâs solar panels are generating at exactly the same time.
Sometimes, thatâs more generation trying to get into the electricity market than thereâs demand for. So prices go to zero or negative.
ie. Add that little bit too much solar, without storage, and it destroys the economics for all solar panels.
I believe in the modern age, your well-drilled pollie whose campaign flunkies are marginally competent only kisses babies whose mums have been vetted and found to be reliable party members who have no problems with said kissing.
My brother-in-law spent a chunk of time in the Liberal parry, and last federal election my nephew and niece were accordingly deployed to have an âaccidentalâ meet-up with the local Teal-embattled Lib MP at a local lolly shop so he could be nice to them in front of cameras and show his caring human side. These things donât happen spontaneously these days, everything is stage-managed.
This is all true, but Iâd also offer very long odds that the feed-in tarriff increases at all once we start getting loads more storage capacity in the grid over the next few years, and therefore generation capacity becomes valuable no matter when it happens.
You donât get panels for the feed-in $ any more, that hasnât been true for at least a decade. The value in them is in the power they generate that you can use, you donât have to pull from of the grid at peak costs.

Nice of her to provide Policy Free Pete with a platform.
â She has been openly cultivating her relationship with the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, since the 2022 election, and has also hosted multiple fundraisers for his campaign. Her company, Hancock Prospecting, is now the Coalitionâs second-largest donor.
At an event at her national mining day last November, Rinehart said Australia should learn from the success of Trump.
âAs I have repeatedly stated, we need to cut government tape, regulations, governmentsâ wastage and tax burdens across Australia,â Rinehart said.
âWe need a USA-style Doge [Department of Government Efficiency] that delivers action, one that helps to return dollars to our pockets and investment back to Australia.
âDonât be frightened to call for âmake our bank accounts great againâ,â she said.

Rinehart said she wanted to cut the company tax rate and abandon and end subsidies for green energy.
Actually ACCC does have the power to have Supermarket chains divest their holdings in areas of restricted trade. It always has but never uses this power as it could be start of a slippery slope for an industry. In theory it is all good to stop monopoly power and hence to protect the supplier chain as well, but reality is that Coles and Woolies sell at much cheaper prices than competitors including Aldi, and some who are struggling now would starve without more support. Politically and economically it is a poor move to attack them in my view, when the real price gouges and restrictive trade merchants are Banks and the Fuel Industry.
