This is the usual deflection announcement from a useless
government that is unable to address the real issues
facing this country.
The dumb Australian journalists who lap up this rubbish
should be grilling the relevant ministers, both state and
federal, as well as the prime minister on the cost of living,
rising crime, and the real cost and viability of the crazy
push towards unreliable, and expensive intermittent
electric power.
This announcement should have been accompanied by
a business plan, a product engineering plan, a production
engineering plan, factory layout, etc etc. Even a detail like
"We will start with local assembly from imported components"
would have been a start. What is the initial projected production
volume, product range etc etc. Is this about solar panels only, or
the whole package for complete domestic/commercial installations?
Incidentally, modern manufacturing uses automated processes
with minimal unskilled labour for those ops that can't be performed
economically by a machine. Will Australian engineers be designing
all this or will everything be imported, and the taxpayers' money be
exported?
By the way, $1000,000.00 is a small drop in the bucket for a project like
this. Whatever it is.
And what dickhead thought trying to reuse a power station was a
good idea? Or is this a "plan" to stop Liddell being refitted with
nuclear reactors?
