    Carbon Tax versus Emissions Trading

    Yeah, gotta say we should be running on like at least 25% nuclear. We're currently like 90% coal.

    Carbon Tax versus Emissions Trading

    That's a really good point. Fuck the ETS. I have no idea why I'm on the side of Liberals here (I'll give them a break: they do often come up with good ideas when they're not being deliberately contrary), but the more I hear about an ETS, the stupider it sounds. Bring on a carbon tax. In...

    Carbon Tax versus Emissions Trading

    I don't know much about either, but I'm going to have to go with carbon tax. It just seems to make more intuitive and logical sense (assuming it IS reviewed periodically and based on evidence-based policy, not political agendas).

    Laptop < $700-800, light/portable 4 educational purpose

    The MSI Wind is amazing, but you're delusional if you think the Dell line-up is bad - it's only slightly less awesome than the Wind. Edit: Dell netbooks that is. I don't know anything about Dell notebooks.

    Australian Politics

    Sorry, doesn't hold water when they've got the balance of power in the Senate and Labour has to negotiate with them to pass any bills. Iron: not really. It's all but a given that the Greens will win/hold 4 seats next election. The speculation comes into any seats after that.

    Australian Politics

    They've just turned out to be the political party I most agree with. I mean I probably agree with 2 out of every 3 of their policy positions and political stances. It's not a perfect fit: I don't mind military intervention to remove dictators and spread democracy if it's economically viable, I...

    Australian Politics

    Let's see... Quota for states is 1/13 = 7.7% Quota for territories is 1/5 = 20% If we go by the Roy Morgan poll which is pretty accurate give or take 2%, then: NSW: 46% Vic: 42.5% QLD: 42% WA: 39.5% SA: 40.5% Tas: 42.% ACT: 41.5% NT: 47% (based on last election) I.e. Labour gets the...

    Not really. The quota is 14%. Greens support levels are above 10% in every state (SA included when you count preferences from Xenophon supporters). A handful of states will elect Greens on their own merit, and for the rest, 4% isn't hard to make up for with Labour preferences. The ACT result...

    The latest Roy Morgan Senate poll is out. It's interesting for a number of reasons, not least of all because it is a more accurate representation of Senate voting patterns than the federal election preference polls (which specifically ask about the Lower House only). You can read it here: [Roy...

    Which is funny because I don't think either one has completed his PhD.

    Google Operating System

    But it'd still help to have an operating system that accelerates this goal. Which, tbh, I think is what Android is. You can call it an OS for phones all you want, but the fact is it was built from an OS environment for desktops (Linux + Java). Netbook makers are already experimenting with...

    Rudd to build broadband network

    TBH I think education (both curriculum and funding) should be something decided at the federal level. The state-based systems basically seems like nothing more than a holdover from the pre-federation days. Thoughts?

    God dammit what's with all this private vs public sector wank.

    Rudd to build broadband network

    You mean like Labour plans to anyway? But yes, it's ludicrous to imagine this could possibly end up staying government-owned.
