Game On: the Race to Kill the RET

**** With the Head Boy, Tony Abbott recently signalling the demise of the RET (see our post here) Labor apparatchiks have gone into a flat panic.

ETSA: Sir Tom Playford’s Ghost

**** Once upon a time, in a land far, far away there was a place called South Australia - and it enjoyed electricity delivered reliably and at retail prices amongst the lowest in the world (no, it wasn’t a dream).

PAC Chair Garry West: Ignorance is the New “Black”

**** STT readers will recall our coverage of the sordid decision by the NSW Planning Assessment Commission (PAC) to spear 55 giant fans right into the heart of a peaceful and thriving NSW Tablelands community called Collector.

Macca shoulder to shoulder with Tony Abbott as PM signals end for RET

  Last Wednesday, Action Man Abbott fronted the Canberra press gallery and delivered a speech that signals the end of Australia’s insanely expensive (and completely pointless) Renewable Energy Target (RET). Tony outlined the Coalition’s vision for restoring Australia’s beleaguered manufacturing sector, no doubt, in response to General Motor’s recent announcement that it will pull the … Continue reading Macca shoulder to shoulder with Tony Abbott as PM signals end for RET

Merry Christmas, Mr Napthine

STT champion Annie Gardner gives Victorian Premier Denis “I love turbines” Napthine a shot of what the hard working people of Macarthur can “look forward” to this Christmas. It has been an acoustic HELL on earth for dozens of families for over a year now.  But Denis couldn’t care less.  This power policy pygmy considers … Continue reading Merry Christmas, Mr Napthine

John “Marshall” Madigan Declares War

  A couple of posts back we covered a Fin Review piece in which it was suggested that SA’s favourite Greek, Nick Xenophon and John “Marshall” Madigan had come out swinging in favour of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC). At the time, STT said that Senators Xenophon and Madigan were merely using their positions … Continue reading John “Marshall” Madigan Declares War

NSW PAC – Unfazed by RATCH’s Lies, Treachery & Deceit

STT readers will remember the hunt to find the elusive Frank Bestic - who we believed - at that time - was a former Transfield employee who had apparently “jumped ship” to help in the fight to save Collector. It turned out that Frank was none other than Nick Valentine – RATCH’s head goon in … Continue reading NSW PAC – Unfazed by RATCH’s Lies, Treachery & Deceit
