We reported on the South Australian electricity blackout – historic on the day 28Sep16 In comments I wished for “..needs nailing by a skilled questioner with experts under oath in front of media cameras.” Wow in due course we might see that unless the court action is settled first.
Today near three years later Lame Duck Govt bites back at four wind farms through the Australian Energy Regulator. The four wind farms are –
AGL Energy Limited in relation to the Hallett 1 (Hallett), Hallett 2 (Hallett Hill), Hallett 4 (North Brown Hill) and Hallett 5 (The Bluff) Wind Farms
Neoen SA in relation to the Hornsdale Wind Farm
Pacific Hydro Pty Ltd in relation to the Clements Gap Wind Farm
Tilt Renewables Limited in relation to the Snowtown 2 Wind Farm (comprising Snowtown Wind Farm Stage 2 North and Snowtown South Wind Farm).
This AER legal process has been bubbling along quietly for near three years and might explain why AGL has extended the life of Liddell. I see Pacific Hydro is owned by the Chinese State Power Investment Corporation.

ALP’s Nick Champion says buy back Darwin Port
Just do it Prime Minister!!
I have commented in four blogs on the stupid decision in 2015 to lease the Port of Darwin to a Chinese company for 99 years.
Roundup climate oddities politics Perth rain
Perth has its highest June rain for 14 years(since 251mm in 2005) – 177.2mm so far with a week to go. Enjoy all the anti-rain interests, desalination pushers, anti-damists, many politicians and assorted rain doomsayers.
Thanks to Lance for pointing out this involuntary 1896 cloud seeding experiment at Bourke when a dynamite magazine exploded and it immediately rained.
Pauline Hanson raises the Bradfield Scheme and the green/left meedja pooh poohs and ignores.
I think we have to look wider than Bradfield for solutions so using Google I hunted for river flow data to try and figure how much water PA on average flows to the sea around Vic, NSW & Qld. No luck so far.
Blackall’s Barcoo Hotel reduces power bill with diesel generator – useful article – sign of the times.
NSW quietly cancels 200MW virtual power plant, redirects funds to solar loans – sneaky backdown on a green anti-grid fail.
Qld elects 2 climate sceptics
Malcolm Roberts is back in the Senate plus Gerard Rennick for the LNP.
Labor only elected one (1, numero uno) Senator from Qld on 1.5797 quotas.
The Multifunction Polis
Last night we were dissing the over-acting in Harrow when somebody mentioned the Multifunction Polis and memories dredged up various ALP horrors. I had forgotten Gillman in north Adelaide but remembered Docklands and google says that for the Japanese it was all about the Gold Coast. Just reminded us how richly we are honoured with Govt. disasters. A journo should ask Albo how Labor plans are going for the MFP. The $150mill cost quoted would be ~$260mill today – postage stamp money today alongside the destruction of our power grid and Snowy 2.0.
PM ScoMo has a poor grasp of Chinese history
While visiting the Solomon Islands our Prime Minister made these comments in response to questions at a doorstop interview.
[Australia welcomes the economic growth and advancement of China; with their economy, their record in lifting people out of poverty is second to none. It is one of the most extraordinary achievements of the modern world and something they can claim due credit for.]
Not good enough ScoMo. China has like a parasite got fat on the Western Economic System developed over centuries as I outlined a year ago – China has comprehensively gamed the West 6Jun18.
Added 29Jun19 – This chart shows how wrong ScoMo is – reveals the relative failure of the “China Economy” for decades compared to two more capitalist neighbours. Mao’s Great leap forward – Cultural Revolution. Any western economic apparatchiks could have been hired to run China and would have produced better results than the murderous zealots who were in control. The chart(large version) also reveals the two oil shocks and the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
Aussie Govt. might survive
Polls and pundits got it wrong amazing. No GreenLabor annointing yet.

Climate mania causes iron deficiency in population
Attacks on meat production due to climate worries plus veganism are already causing an increase in anaemia in our population.

But how is this monstrous privacy abuse going under the radar.
David Archibald for the Senate in WA
David is standing under the Fraser Anning Conservative National Party banner and is pro our vital resources industry, he is against the current policy hysteria re climate, he is pro our Defence spending being beefed up, he is pro improving our fuel security by increasing our fuels stocks, he advocates a coal to liquids CTL industry in Australia which will also increase our fuels security. My many blog articles re David’s writings.
IMHO for WA people he would be a great No 1 Senate vote and then specify your preferences carefully.
