Yes, but will the disclosure be only scope 1 and 2 emissions (as per the existing NGER Act), or will they have to disclose the emissions that will occur when others combust their coal and gas (scope 3 emissions)? Albanese never counts that in his “Net Zero” plan.

You either allow negative gearing, or you don’t. If you allow it on only one, people will aim to gear the biggest most expensive house, rather than building and renting out affordable homes.

Distribution costs are not per capita. They vary hugely by density. Compare Citipower and Ergon, for example.

That 39c/kWh includes transmission and distribution costs. Our networks are spread sparsely. Japan’s small size and high population density should give rise to much lower transmission and distribution costs for Japan. And yes, fix the PRRT.

I take your viewpoint and I’ll review myself with that in mind. Let’s see what brings. My current view is that I blame both sides of politics much more than the market operator.

I expect Eraring extension is due to the reality that Snowy 2.0’s TBM is still buried somewhere with barely 2km of 22km dug.
I think AEMO works with what it has been dealt. I don’t detect any less desire to decarbonise.

I’m an amateur, so take it with a grain of salt. We see all 3 species: rusa, sambar and fallow, running in groups together across our wooded (eucalyptus and wattle) mountain terrain (1000-1350m) east of KNP. We have started seeing very dark young deer, but with the pattern markings of fallow deer.
