and anyway, Nuclear is better then coal, it's a win win
unless you wanna start using renewables lmao
That's exactly what would happen through privatization.
Firms would begin constructing nuclear power-plants in competition for market-share.
the chief scientist literally said our efforts were futile, then in the very next breath said that we must continue our efforts
You see, when you're competing for market-share, lowering your production cost is necessary to expand your consumer base.
Thus, you must invest in ways to cut down costs, which makes your price more competitive.
and NBNco
Thats the big issue, most Aussies don't pay attention.
Phasing out coal for Nuclear, cutting down on pollution by phasing out plastics and such as well as drastically reducing our population to be more in balance with nature is about as good as Australia can do
Telstra is utter trash
Did your government fuck you over with a cartel?
@Ethreen42, mmm, genocide!
That's a campaign winner right there!
<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
not genocide, deportation
How else does one drastically reduce their population?
Australia's population is about 25 Million, around 6-8 Million of those people should never of been here in the first place
Lovely.
Again, your aging population, @Ethreen42.
@Jeremy telecom company nationwide, was privatised but the entire physical network went to the one supplier - so we got fucked with a telecom monopoly. When the gov mandated broadband installation, they had to give the contract to Telstra (who massively overran cost of course) and so we've had Telstra just fucking everyone for my entire life. Internet and phone is about $80-120 per month, on copper wires to a node however far away
I'm not going to support importing millions of people just to prevent our country from aging @Jeremy
you can use various other means to slowly increase out fertility rate
our*
we could reach a fertility rate of 2.1 in 20 years if we tried
private competition has seen two other companies reach some similar coverage in about half the country, after 20 years of waiting. telecom industry relies on Telstra networks so the industry is effectively price-floored
which would be enough for a stable popualtion
The greatest scam in the history of nations is GDP
it means nothing. Literally has no intelligent meaning. Wage in real terms is the only measure of economic success I will accept
pretty much
fuck nbn is pure garbage
and for those purposes, population decline is no problem. If there's a population age bubble, let it burst. We'll reach a stable replacement rate when we heal our culture.
I'll never understand conservatives who obese over GDP, there are far more important things to worry about
obsess*
they aren't conservative, they're free-marketeer and mostly libertarian, not conservative. If they're advocating immigration as a solution, they're anti-national
I mostly saw Conservatives talking about the debt more than anything else.
And high taxes.
