Suggesting the crisis of confidence in the Liberal Party can be fixed by anointing Angus Taylor as leader is....optimistic.

But I encourage them to give it a go.

A giant dinasoar with the head of Pauline Hanson is stomping over Parliament House. There are laser beams coming out of her eyes setting fire to the building.

How stupid are they?!!

Wouldn’t the slightest bit of research warn them that asking such a question could only result in the massive own goal that it was?

Groth's exit throws spotlight on dysfunction in Victorian Liberals When retiring first-term Liberal Sam Groth told his leader he was quitting politics, forcing a by-election, Jess Wilson didn't try to talk him out of it.

It might be a tired state government but the alternative seems worse given all the never ending infighting.
And of course the right wing Christian element..

In 2025, installed nuclear capacity of 4.4 GW was 180 times lower than new solar and wind capacity, with the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicting 4,600 GW new renewable capacity by 2030 (current global nuclear capacity is 369 GW), meeting 90% of global electricity demand growth.

Massive increase in the production of renewable tech in China in the last twelve months. A lot of that is destined for β€˜third world’ countries that will bypass the need for conventional infrastructure or reliance on fossil fuels. Not good news for Saudi Arabia or the US.

The Power of the Sun While its implementation as a renewable energy may seem new, humans have used solar energy for hundreds of years.

β€œThe scale of solar being deployed in such a short period of time has not been seen, I think, anywhere ever before.”

This is my take on solar adoption in Pakistan covered by National Geographic.
