Barnaby Joyce: I'll support a clean energy target – if coal is included. The deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce says he’s prepared to support a clean energy target such as the one recommended by the chief scientist, Alan Finkel, if the Liberals agree to set a threshold allowing high-efficiency coal in the mix. Barnaby doesn’t really grasp the concept of CLEAN energy, does he. Â | |

It seems as if Barnaby is a fan of coal mines as long as they are not in his backyard. I remember him spewing out words of disgust when the Shenhua coal mine was initially approved in his neck of the woods. | |

“ Bill Gates made these 15 predictions in 1999 - and it's scary how accurate he was. “ People like Bill Gates have the ability to look beyond the obvious and look forward to change, that’s why he’s mega-rich and you & I are not! Â | |

He may have been good at predicting technological changes, but what about other changes (e.g. global crises & conflicts)? I'm not saying he isn't good at predcting other things, I simply don't know. A good political leader needs to have a good outlook on everything. Admittedly, he would be better than Trump as POTUS, most people would be. | |

Bill Gates would have to be better than Donald Trump, there is no doubt about that what so ever. | |

Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne says he wants Australia to become a major arms exporter on par with Britain, France and Germany and use exports to cement relationships with countries in volatile regions such as the Middle East. Hey Chris, why stop at guns & tanks? Let's export drugs, Aussie farmers are capable of growing top quality marijuana & opium poppies. That should improve our balance of payments situation. | |

Tell him he's dreaming. We haven't even got a space agency and buy all our high tech from overseas. Not in your lifetime Christopher. | |

Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne says he wants Australia to become a major arms exporter ... I think Australia is quite good at making prosthetic limbs. | |

Pyne was probably legless the other week when he made those comments about the moderates being in power in the Liberal Party. | |

George Brandis attacks Scott Ludlam and says he could be forced to repay 'debt'. Brandis said Ludlam could face a substantial debt repayment for the salary and allowances he received during his tenure as a senator. “Whether or not debt would be waived as it has been on previous occasions is a matter for the special minister of state, senator Scott Ryan,” he said. Did we really expect a better from those Tory Twits? | |

Yes, should be a great contest of wills. Hilary was a real looker in her younger days judging by the trailers for this interview. | |

There is no ABC bias expect in the ranks of the Liberal Party's right wing. As Jack Nicholson once said "you can’t handle the truth" The truth is some hard core Tories want to censor the ABC. This makes me very angry! | |
