Yet again, Marcia Langton demolishes so much of the baggage around useless & racist Hanson & the ON rabble, now funded by the super rich & entitled. Far too good an article to be behind a paywall, but reason alone to read real journalism & subscribe to @SatPaper

My god, are Australian voters really this stupid? It doesn't matter how well Pauline Hanson polls for "Preferred PM" - she's a Senator. She'd have to resign, run and win a Lower House seat, and *then* win a majority at a federal election.

Bradman did more than just bat better than everyone else, he transformed the team into an international sensation, and brought hope and identity to a nation during some very tough years. Dude got knighted for being unique, not for being a false image. Get back to me when Joe root is knighted.

The Liberals lost those seats because voters rejected their climate change policy with net zero. They have now abandoned net zero so their climate change policy is even worse! How they can possibly win those seats back now with a worse policy makes no sense!

Eyes wide shut. Australia possibly no longer a voice of moral clarity under the Liberals.

Sceptics say EVs will overwhelm the grid. In fact, they could be part of the solution

Electric vehicles are ‘batteries on wheels’ that can put energy back into the National Grid when solar panels and windfarms do not provide much power
