RenewEconomy has spent more than five years analysing the energy debate in Australia, and comedians John Clarke and Bryan Dawe may have spent only a few days.
But in their latest episode, an interview with “Wal Socket”, they have absolutely nailed it. We can’t think of anything else to say, but to invite you to watch it.
Giles Parkinson is founder and editor of Renew Economy, and is also the founder of One Step Off The Grid and founder/editor of the EV-focused The Driven. Giles has been a journalist for 40 years and is a former business and deputy editor of the Australian Financial Review.
Nailed it.
Best yet
Leave it Premier Jay, he is onto the fix !
Loved it.
John Clarke is a genius. Everything he touches is gold.
In two and half minutes he has shown he is the smartest man in the room when it comes to Australia’s energy woes.
NZs finest!
Ah yes, but just like so many other notable kiwis we will claim him as our own.
Except Russell Crowe. You can keep him.

Finally, a succinct article
We knew we had it in us. 🙂
Oh my gosh! It is as if they have been reading my comments!
“It is ok for assets to be owned by government as long as it is a foreign government”.
Brilliant!
The “Market” has failed, pass laws allowing the “Market” to be sued, sue them bankrupt and re-nationalise the system.
Yep they summarise it perfectly.
And probably THE greatest thing about being 100% off grid . You don’t buy energy your buying a system that works.
have always loved john and bryan and always will, they should be named national treasures for their ability to put a mirror to the stupidity of government and policy makers – hear hear boys
Everything I might say has already been said in the comments made so far. Except for the fact that it would be hilarious if not so true.
That is brilliant. Nailed it.
Love those blokes. No fear or favour, very, very funny men.
Haha, “I’ll try and imagine there is some [government policy]”.
Have a look at this petition to get some government policy on energy:

nailed it!
This is one of the greatest pieces of comedy, satire and the awful, awful truth – we will never see it’s like again. Vale John Clarke.
Jiust had to have another look and belly laugh…nothing much has changed with The COALition.
