Australia's Inequality

Its not a 'class issue'
Its not a left wing socialist plot
Its not us versus them envy
Its real
Its inequality in Australia

Its so bloody obvious and will become more obvious as our children become disenfranchised in housing, education and health.
It has to stop.

RET Review: Cat and Mouse Game

Can the following people give an unbiased review of the RET (Renewable Energy Target)?

• Former Caltex head Dick Warburton, who has publicly questioned whether carbon emissions cause global warming. 
• Economist Brian Fisher - previous work in oil and gas industry.
• Shirley In't Veld, former head of WA's biggest coal generator.
• Australian Energy Market Operator's Matt Zema

Now isn't that like putting a cat in the mouse house? 

What will you have after they've 'done the job'
Bare bones RET or nothing at all.
"For 14 years, the oil and gas industry has lobbied for the 20 per cent RET to be dumped."

Yet again shame on Tony Abbott and Greg Hunt, ministers of environmental destruction.

RenewEconomy's link to Solar Value Past Present and Future gives a good understanding of similar issues in the US.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning during the coal mine fire at Hazelwood this summer is the next whitewash. We shall see if the claims of the Fire Fighters Union stack up!
