Thank Greenpeace for fighting against nuclear in the 80s and 90s. I remember them handing out leaflets on Swanson St around 1990 trying to persuade the public against low carbon emission technologies.
Having said that I think we are past breeder reactors as an option in Australia. SMR and MSR is something that we should get behind.
Aukus treaty will change that up though. Australia will have our own nuclear reactors floating off shore soon enough not just the American ones that visit us from time to time.

That is brutal and corporate. So excited when ET finally gets here and see's our efficient ways of killing en masse. We got some shit to teach the galaxy.
Agreed. Sacrifice something if you want to have a child
You mean the Syrian families living in tents in 50 degree weather? Or the starving Palestinian families with children in tents? Or the latino families whose tents don't protect them from drug war gunfire? Or the Rohingya families in tents without medicine? Or the Sudanese families escaping ethnic cleansing?
Living in a tent isn't really good for anyone but there is a vast difference between living in a tent but still getting healthcare and education versus living in a tent fearful of death. Families living in a tent in Australia is sad but it it's normally a temporary situation measured in months. For some of these refugees, living in a tent will be many years. Many years for children without the chance to go to school, get proper nourishment or just be a child.
Many people that come to Australia have money; Many do not.
Free movement of people and immigration is a pillar of Australian life.
For those who've across the seas We've boundless plains to share
Unless your from a first peoples background, you owe your lifestyle and wealth to immigration. A little hardship for the greater good is something we should all except.
The sad part is the sliding percentage of children. Who's going to watch rage on Saturday morning if they disappear
Excellent news for a lot of those immigrants too. People do move here willingly for a better life too. Yeah rich people are getting richer but those immigrants and their families (which I am) have a better life too. Not trying to push on you but something can be a win for all.
Offsetting that dominant buyer inclination were record sales of eco-friendly cars, namely battery-electric vehicles (87,212, +161.1%), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (11,212, +88.8%) and the sought-after traditional hybrid cars, still the most popular alternative-fuel options with 98,439 units sold last year (+20.3%). Of the latter, Toyota alone sold 72,815 petrol-electric cars, representing 74 per cent of hybrid vehicle sales across all brands as well as 31.5 per cent of Toyota’s overall sales.
Toyota sold twice as many vehicles as the next best manufacturer. They dominate the SUV, van, Ute markets. I can't see them going anywhere soon.
Just call them. Superloop gave me a $10 per month discount when my 6month deal ran out.
It'll come. My neighbourhood was finally free late last year and I took up the offer. Gig speeds baby
I'm with that. We should have a dickhead tax; hurt yourself doing something while drunk then you pay, hurt yourself skydiving then you pay, hurt yourself crazy driving then you pay.
System is broken that's for sure
