Shane Jones ... what a blowhard.

Shane Jones arrived wearing a rather gay powder puff blue suit, surely an unspoken symbol of his ongoing solidarity with rainbow people.

The atmosphere in the audience gave off a tangy mix of Grecian 2000 masking unjustified disappointment, tinged with the lightly burnt odour of unfulfilled dreams.

While there was none of that woke masking nonsense and only a single cooker wore a Maga hat, the average IQ in the room could easily be defined by the fact that these people have a shared belief that Shane Jones is some sort of gifted thinker.

@pezmico I am old enough to remember the (I think) Royal Comission on this in the 70s. I wasn't very political back then but one of my lecturers was involved. Anyway, they came back hands down that it was too expensive because you really can't build a small reactor so we'd have to spend lots building one way too big that we didn't need, and there’s no way to dispose of the waste.

There's still no way to dispose of the waste and, despite claims that it is 'nearly there', there's still no working small reactor. I expect that isn’t quite accurate cos there must be small ones on submarines. However, those have very different cost and operating constraints to a power station.
