Well who would of thought, Astra Zeneca is being withdrawn from the market as it can cause fatal blood clots, and they assured us all it was safe.

AstraZeneca is removing its Covid vaccine worldwide, months after the pharmaceutical giant admitted that it can cause a rare and dangerous side effect.

The jab, developed by Oxford University, can no longer be used in the European Union after the company voluntarily withdrew its ‘marketing authorisation’, coming into effect today.

World No. 1 golfer and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler is facing four charges following his arrest outside the PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, Friday morning.

Scheffler was charged with second-degree assault on a police officer – a felony – along with lesser charges of third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from officers directing traffic, Jefferson County court records show. He’s been released from jail, according to the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.

Snowy2 is turning into a disaster..
Former Snowy 2.0 boss says NetZero is ‘bullsh*t’
Australia’s “biggest renewables project”, Snowy Hydro 2.0, has turned into an absolute farce.
Latest reports are that one of its three tunnel boring machines, used to carve out a 15 kilometre tunnel through 150 meters of rock, has been ‘stuck’ in sand for fourteen months now, and no-one seems to know how to get it ‘unstuck’.

According to reports, it can’t go forwards, but it can’t go back either. The project team had installed concrete reinforcements behind the borer as it moved and so now it’s locked in.

Originally we were told the project would be finished by 2021.
That’s now blown out until ‘late 2029’ - maybe.

They also told us it would cost $2 billion.
The ‘all-up’ cost is now said to be closer to $20 billion, once you factor in the 1000km of transmission lines needed to link it to Sydney and Melbourne.
A staggering 900 percent increase!

Ted Woodley described the whole project as a “shambles” in The Australian over the weekend, saying it “doesn’t stack up economically, technically or environmentally”.

“Snowy 2.0 will be a very inefficient battery” he said, going on to slam the catastrophic environmental damage it had caused:
“Environmentally, vast construction sites and roads/tracks across 35km of Kosciuszko National Park have destroyed thousands of hectares of native alpine habitat. Twenty million tonnes of excavated spoil will be dumped in the Park and reservoirs, enough to cover a football field to a height of three kilometres”.

“Four 330kV transmission lines on two sets of 70-metre towers will traverse eight kilometres of the Park over a cleared easement swathe up to 140 metres wide. This will be the first time transmission lines are erected in a NSW national park for 50 years”.

Paul Broad, former CEO of Snowy Hydro, was just as scathing of the project in an interview with Ben Fordham last week.

Broad said the government wanted to run the plant on hydrogen that doesn’t exist.
“There is no hydrogen … and there won’t be for another 10, 20 years at the earliest”.

He also rubbished the whole NetZero agenda as a ‘complete fantasy’ based on ‘magical thinking’:
“The notion that you’re going to have 80 per cent renewables in our system by 2030 is, to use the vernacular, bullsh*t”.
“Eraring [Coal power station] CANNOT close…If the lights don’t go out, I’ll be awfully surprised” he said.
‘The truth is… this transition, if it ever occurs, will take 80 years… not eight.’

There isa documentary on the ABC about this debacle, worth a look at.
 
Yeah i saw that, great watch, and the end cost of Snowy2 will be truly tragic, we castrate our country with this economic disaster and yet in China 2 new coal fired power plants are coming on line every week, but Australia to save the world..lol

Is there a simple answer for who’s at fault?
previous government or this?
 
I would say the media, especially the ABC, just think, we happily sell coal all over the globe to people who burn it to produce cheap electricity or make steel, we gladly accept the billions it provides to fund our lifestyle and welfare system, China and India have new power plants coming on line every week, even the USA has power costs up 1/4 of what we pay, but for here our people have been subjected to shrieks of "climate change " every day on the media, ABC in particular, so imagine the reaction here if a govt of either party attempted to build a new high tech coal fired power plant, there would be thousands throwing themselves in from of the bulldozers, every storm , hot day or drought would be blamed on that govt, governments of both parties have been wedged, even gas is a dirty word with some Labor states, and yet meanwhile out there in the rest of the world nuclear and coal { supplied by us} are powering their economies, can you see the hypocrisy?.
