Current EVs come with a battery guarantee of at least 8 years (there are even some with a 15-year or 1.6 million km now). The latest generation of EVs will outlast any ICE vehicle. You are correct on one thing, the war against EVs is "all about the money". There is an enormous amount of...

No its not. The cost of raw materials for EV's is dropping like a stone. We are already seeing the first Sodium Ion battery powered EV's, where the major raw material is salt! The ICE era is rapidly coming to an end, despite the best efforts of the oil companies and car companies like Toyota...

ICE cars are about 100 times more likely to catch fire than an EV. The latest batteries are Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), and are substantially less likely to catch fire. We are also just starting to see the first EV's being produced that have Sodium Ion Batteries. These can never catch fire...

No its not. Quite the opposite in fact. The upfront costs of EV's tend to be a bit more compared with an equivalent ICE car, however the running costs are much lower. I live in Queensland where we have a very high uptake of home solar. A lot of the EV's around Queensland are charged at home as...

They do that already, it’s called regenerative braking.

I don’t think there is a single statement that you make in your whole response that is even close to true. Maybe you’ve spent too long being brainwashed by Sky news, Murdoch or other misinformation source.

Where did you get your PhD?? I thought not. Try talking to real experts, not listening to the idiots put forward as such by the main media. I'm a retired computer science professor and at least able to understand and critique the real evidence. There are thousands upon thousands of extremely...

Your argument is far too simplistic. Have a look at: https://www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1073/pnas.1606734113 The reality is far more complicated than the oversimplification of ‘CO2 is plant food.’ Increasing temperatures resulting from the increase in CO2 is bad for plant life.

Net Zero is very much not a myth. Some plants may benefit from the increased CO2, but many others do not. I guess you are just spouting the Murdoch press or one of the other misinformation sources like channel 7, 9 or 10. How about listening to the thousands of climate scientists out there? You...

What you are describing is a perpetual motion machine.... can't be done unfortunately.

What You should get your glasses checked. Integrity and wisdom are not terms that come to mind when thinking of Scott Morrison. Slippery, corrupt, condescending, useless and gutless would be nearer the mark. Possibly the worst PM that Australia has ever had, although Tony Abbott might just pip...

“It was just last month when Cyclone Jasper hit Queensland, leaving North Queensland in chaos, specifically on the Gold Coast.“ Strange… last time I looked the Gold Coast is nowhere near North Queensland. With mistakes like that perhaps you should apply for a job with the Murdoch press.

So where did you get your PhD in climate science? Thought not. Perhaps you should listen to the real experts and not the Murdoch media etc. I know a lot of people don't like listening to real experts if what they have to say is not what they want to hear. The oil companies have been spending...

He is not perfect, but compared with Morrison and his corrupt government he is far better.

Excellent. Yet one more good reason to become a cashless society

Travel is always both educational and enjoyable, but it doesn’t need to be expensive. My partner and I spent 12 years house sitting around the world which was fantastic. Our only costs were travel between house sits and food, everything else was covered by the people whose house and pets we were...

So you are ok with us forking out $70M for the royals visit to Australia in October? What about Charles lobbying for British companies who are in direct competition with Australian companies? That’s a clear clash of interest… he can’t represent both countries. Bribery and corruption has nothing...

British public.... maybe, but they are totally irrelevant to Australia. We already know that Charles has lobbied on behalf of British industry and against Australian competitors. This clearly shows that a significant conflict of interest exists, meaning the royals cannot represent both...

Who cares? Hopefully Australia will be a republic well before he abdicates.

Who cares.
