Australia’s “brain-dead approach to energy” has caused our current energy catastrophe, says Sky News host Chris Smith.
“Yes, the world is suffering from power sanctions imposed on Russian gas, but most of Europe has nuclear reactors to fall back on,” he said.
“Not little ole Australia – we’ve been too frightened to even make power from our vast uranium deposits legal. There’s a law against it.
“And of course, we signed away the rights to our gas on the east coast, to multinationals lock, stock and barrel.
“What an international laughing stock Australia has become over energy.”

Power should never have been privatised. Simple as that. 🖕
fuck it keep using appliances as they will not learn till there are black outs
Here we go in the black out areas with no protection because we are unarmed and not enough police to patrol these areas will they be the next place the robberies start to be worse?
Australia – the dumb country.
Lol
Are you finally waking up cov and vax was bullshit and now net zero all backed by the un wef global elite including the banks have you got it yet
When does the Investigation start on all of the Politicians?
Like what's happening in Amerca
The denial of nuclear power is to make rich the American coal miners.
It also a FAIL for news for NOT using their platform to continually push governments.
Coal is required at this time for at least base load requirements.
DONT just leave it in the ground.
NATURAL GAS as well. Why would you not use it? It is naturally constituted and usually part of OIL deposits that used to be burnt off as waste??
ALL Governments commit criminal actions against our Society. SELF PERSONAL interests is all they persue. Benefits and Super Plans is the focus. Criminal actions..
First look @ the Labor Govts Since the 1970, they have Proven by their preformance since Whitlam Hawke Keating, Etc Etc that they JUST Cant govern to the benefit of the people, They shut done C F power stations Knowing that prices would rise, they protected them selves by giving the control of our enegry to "Retailers"Who are controlled By the state & Fed Govts.Who dip into their profits to sustain their failing States massive debts Because Energy had & will always be a [political nightmare. Now this mob Labor Just dont care.Oh & they didnt tell you about the 15% payrise they gave them selves.When they got IN Were stuck with this shit.DONT ever vote them in again
We deserve to be an international laughing stock, again and again, we vote for treasonous politicians, that do nothing but sell out and off Australia, for a handful of non magical beans, all so that they can get cushy jobs, as well as well as a massive pension plan once they stop ripping off those that voted for them, and all along the way, we have the bureaucrats helping them along with massive pays, who do nothing to deserve, I'm freaking tired of having no political party that cares that Australia could be a great and well respected nation, with all the assets of this land we should be a shinning beacon of what a democracy can do, instead we are sold down the river, to languish as a devolving nation.
It’s not Australians, it’s our pathetic governments who have sold everything off. It should be Australian government is a laughing stock across the planet.
We had blackout last night in Wellington, so it's State wide.
Our Australian government, regardless of which party has been in power have consistently sold our country out from under the citizens of Australia. What they have done amounts to nothing less than treason. What a despicable bunch of morons. We are totally owned by foreign interests which plunder our natural resources without limits. When visiting South Australia last Christmas, I got chatting to a couple of power workers and they told me that South Australia's energy system is owned and run by the Chinese. If that is true then that could only mean one thing in my mind. Anyone who sells out to a communist government must be in their pocket. I can't think of any other reason why such a miscarriage of management could be considered. If I'm wrong I would be happy to learn the reason why.
I was lucky enough to visit Australia in the 1990's & spent a week in Karratha, Western Australia. I was visiting friends that lived in the city. I didn't understand why Australia shipped her natural gas (LNG) & iron ore to Japan to support the foreign industries. You blokes could have made the steel locally & made a much better income for your country. I love Australia & the people that live there. Hope the future holds good times for you & yours.
Who owns the power lines
Biden says- hold my bud light!!
What happened to our lucky country, gone down hill with idiotic politicians😢
Look at the intelligent people behind him😂
This clip maybe 1 year old but thing’s haven’t improved they have only gotten worse 😡
Labor don't work for Australians.
That's because we have imbeciles at the top who are so F t destroying Australia
The experts and bureaucrats who advised the clueless governments are the ones who should be named and shamed! It’s cost the Australian citizens on both fronts – the present and the future.
"defense superpowers and their military buildup (33:06) and the economics behind that was there a Chinese vessel entering territorial waters in Australia in Japan in the United States none of that so the only risk here is that we will allow somebody like the #foreignMinister to get away with subterfuge and by creating a #falsePerspective on a #threatWhichIsNotThere the Chinese people have every reason to fear their government … authoritarian noose their neck that is a threat and we need to help Chinese Democrats and Chinese progressives and Chinese socialists we need to help them liberate themselves from that news but we are not going to do it by allowing #PennyWong and #otherWarmongers to create a #falseSense that China is (34:27) #threateningAustralia when that is not the case in order to weaponise a particular defensive military industrial complex motivated policy which in the end is the best gift you can make to the elements of the Chinese Communist Party who use this clear misrepresentation of the situation in the Pacific in order to clamp down on their own people"

"Europe and Australia are facing a common existential threat: a creeping irrelevance caused, on the one hand, by our failure properly to invest and, on the other hand, by our ill-considered slide from a strategic dependence on the United States to a non-strategic, self-defeating servility to Washington’s policy agenda."
Why wouldn't we be the laughing stock around the world!! With grubby Albosleezy in charge!! With GRUBBY Chris Bowen in charge!! Oh..no!! Grubby Matt Keen as well.
