Apparently 50k marched in Melbourne.
Reckon the Lib-Nats are at risk of losing a generation of voters.

I was one of them. Went in my lunch break. Majority of the marchers were teenagers. Didnât seem like 50k to me, though I didnât really get a great view.
And Iâm always skeptical of the âlose a generation of votersâ thing. People forget or develop other priorities. Hell, I remember when 700k marched against the Iraq War. Howard ignored them, and won the next election.
More like âanotherâ generation, theyâve already lost most of gen X and virtually all of gen Y.
Theyâll claw some votes as kids age, start earning money and amassing wealth, but theyâll never win the under 40 age bracket again.
But that is because the Tories never worry about morals and conscience because they always resort to their stock-in-trade: hypocrisy.
Meanwhile, in the West, the McGowan backflip on carbon emissionsâŚ
What about SCUMOâs backflip on no Taxpayer funds backing up or being invested in new Coal mines?
Does he remember holding up and shaking that black lump in Parliament?
Does he think he can just trot out his dribble and every one will just forget that happened?
Scamming turd of a bloke.

Frank Jotzo, climate change economist, now with ANU, formerly ABARE, is ripping apart the latest analysis by Brian Fisher, former ABARE chief, who took funding from the coal industry at that time.
I have the greatest respect for Jotzoâs integrity, arising from my dealings with him when he was at ABARE.
What do you think of Fisher, then?
Wow, sheâs a keeper. As in, âPlease Libs, keep herâ. Might be mistaken but arenât they losing their small âlâ nimby types in droves over just such an issue? And her views on feminism say to me this is one deep thinker who isnât afraid to sidle up to the apple cart, maybe even touch it a bit.
He was able, but risked ABARE independence and standing by following the public private partnership model, which is not always appropriate for research organisations. When he was in ABARE, he was subject to the constraints of the mandate accorded to ABARE , but now as a consultant he gives the appearance of delivering analyses tailored to the interests of his funding sources. There are question marks over his peer reviewers. Not all ex ABARE consultants have gone down that path.
The figures tell the actual story. Around 15GW of renewables already in the grid. Another 35GW under construction or DA approved. Thirty freaking five. Thatâs already enough to get near 50% nationally. A further 15 applied for. The concept stuff will change. A lot of the wind from that set of data will never happen once solar starts undercutting it in price significantly. Anyway, long story short you wouldnât want to be Trevor St Barker because the industry is in full pivot as we speak.

Of course, not all these projects will be built at the scale envisaged. There may be local issues, connection hurdles, financing challenges and market headwinds. But if they were, they would deliver enough megawatt-hours to deliver Australiaâs current demand.
But if they were,

Yep, that is right. The exciting thing about though, is that this is only what has been thought of as of now. When things like solar thermal start becoming competitive that really is end game. That â â â â will give wind farms and hydro headaches.
Important story for anyone considering Solar about Rip Off Solar Companies coming up on 7.30 tonight.
Heard a fair bit about such barstards recently. There was a few mobs that basically raided the towns of Northern Vic and bailed. One of the reasons a high %age of people up there now hate on the Greens in a weird turn.
It was rogue capitalist prickz that did the ripping off, but somehow environmetalists got the blame.
