Turnbull, at the last, calls out Far Right and shows some spine
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull may be going out, but he is going out fighting. Finally. He puts eligibility of pretender Peter Dutton to legal test, and says he will leave parliament if outed, threatening razor thin majority.

Five red line items that need to be fixed before NEG is agreed
“Even if the Energy Security Board gives Malcolm Turnbull a Rolls Royce model of energy policy, it’s not going to be of much use to the country if he immediately seeks to put it in the garage and lock it up for 10 years.”

5 quick fixes for Turnbull and Frydenberg to change energy debate
A series of 28 consecutive News Polls show the Coalition is trailing Labor. So perhaps it’s time to dump the right wing policies on energy and climate Turnbull promised to cherish, and set a new path. Here are some quick and easy fixes, offered free, and without retainer.

Conservatives go completely nuts over battery storage
The Tesla big battery storage array in South Australia signals a major pivot point for Australia’s energy future, but the response of conservatives shows they are not having a bar of it, and their renewable energy target remains 100 per cent ignorance.

Will Turnbull’s Coalition stand up to Australia’s energy oligopoly?
