4th month of the year, is here…
First quarter of 2025 done, dusted, home and hosed..
The Newz… The Bluez…
Australian Federal Election has been announced for May 3.
We have the incumbent, Albeneze and the Labor party, who have been running the country into the ground for the past three years. The Nut Zero BS has seen way tooo much $$ going in the wrong directions, into the wrong pockets. Cost of living, cost of everything is stoopid.
We have Dutton and the Liberals trying to take over, take control, from what could be one of the few one-term administrations in Aus history… Dutton and the Liberals, like the Abeneze and Labor, are making promises, spending $$$ that is not available, buying votes with the public purse.
Status Quo as near as I can tell.
Aus needs to decide which forward path they wish to take. Chase the elusive Nut Zero, dismantle and export all manufacturing, decrease co2 emissions by exporting everything from energy to productivity to profitability.
It may well be too late to reverse the trend, to cease the hemorrhage of resources and capacity.
A fun fact… Private investment in Nut Zero here in Aus is… well, it’s hard to say. We can see that the Federal Administration is still throwing money around, but numbers are hard to find. It is in the billions… Billions of $$s of public funds invested in backing winners and wieners… From what I see very little private funding is involved. its pretty much all Gov’t grants to would be “green” enterprises.
This says little, but tells us much: https://international.austrade.gov.au/en/news-and-analysis/news/australia-accelerates-investment-in-net-zero-transformation#:~:text=Areas%20of%20focus%20for%20government,critical%20minerals%2C%20batteries%20and%20infrastructure.&text=The%20Australian%20Government%20is%20accelerating,for%20net%20zero%2Daligned%20investment.
