If we stopped to ask if the new HV lines are necessary. We currently transmit energy, surely we can have smaller distributed generation on the existing network. @renew_economy NSW hopes to bury transmission problem with inquiry into lines underground
reneweconomy.com.au
New South Wales Labor commissions inquiry and report into feasibility – and in particular, the cost – of undergrounding the state's critical transmission infrastructure.

The headline is contradicted by the content. Tragic that the Conversation and ABC run to a BS headline over journalism. The RBA has one lever to pull in response to government policy and public behaviour. Blaming RBA and Lowe particularly is deception.

Reserve Bank Governor Philip Lowe and his board have pushed up interest rates yet again – for the twelfth time in 14 months – because they want to damage the economy further, writes Peter Martin.

It an unfortunate state of affairs when a business model can laud itself as vital and important when it is fact preying on vulnerable people and sustaining criminal enterprise.

Why is this on the Reserve bank it has one lever, interest rates! Fed Govt has more levers. The Reserve Bank is playing a game of chicken with inflation. But how far is it prepared to….
abc.net.au
The Reserve Bank has engaged in the second-most aggressive monetary tightening cycle in its history to combat inflation. But its goal seems to be moving further away, writes David Taylor.

Honour and integrity have been long forgotten in favour of self serving entitlement, some on both sides of NSW politics in the past two decades are no longer honourable. Why Barilaro's New York job saga is an own goal for NSW Premier
abc.net.au
The NSW Premier's authority has been severely weakened internally, and it's all down to his judgement around one appointment. But it didn't have to be like this, writes state political reporter...

The terrifying thing is how shallow and short term the thinking of the current crop of policy makers. The failure to address meaningfully any of this and even bigger issues. Australia’s runaway farmland prices are terrifying, at least to this farmer
theguardian.com
The experts play down the problem based on deeply flawed notions of long-term agricultural profitability. That’s a big problem

Chris Bowen has demolished Morrison's filthy scapegoating of ICAC and taken a blowtorch to talk of Berijiklian running in Warringah 🔥🔥🔥 Punishing corruption vs rewarding it. That's the choice this election #auspol #icac #federalicac

The finding come as no surprise to me, I am more concerned about the deliberate will of some to dismiss the criminal behaviour. It is as though the evidence and disclosures of harassment are not cause for reflection and change. Thanks @Kate_Jenkins_ it time for Fed ICAC.

The irony is not lost when you have senior LNP members saying they could not do the job with Fed. ICAC, another commitment broken by ‘public servants’ not committed to public service.
Colour me shocked

It is about time that @ItaButtrose as ABC Chair calls the unconscionable behaviour of the government. ABC is recognised as the trusted balanced independent media that is reliable and the continued attack by the political class is poor form.

The PM is looking increasingly desperate as he stacks lies on lies. It is embarrassing to watch this bloke drag Australia’s reputation down in drain hole spin. History will not be kind to this period of time, ‘he came, he went, and left a mess’ #LiarFromTheShire

Yet again, Barnaby Joyce has failed to outline a plan for action on climate change and regional Australia. He knows what he wants for the mining industry, but no plan for farmers. #insiders

Nice if Qld’s and NSW Premiers could agree that winter crop harvest falls under essential services. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes and millions of dollars at stake in cross border fiasco.
Australia's winter crop harvest has begun. It should be a bumper, but anything could happen
