Member for Kennedy Bob Katter has echoed the call to immediately repurpose and recapitalise the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) to fund an industrial recovery in Australia.
Mr Katter and the President of his Katter’s Australian Party (KAP), his son and Queensland state MP Robbie Katter, declared in a 9 April KAP Facebook post, “We need to start public works projects to build our way out of this Coronavirus Depression.”
The scandal-ridden Murray-Darling Basin Plan has once again stirred up passions, captured in an ABC Four Corners report on 8 July. Most commentators can’t see the wood for the trees, or in this case, the hydrosphere for the water. As the Citizens Electoral Council (CEC) warned from day one, the agenda was to privatise the Murray-Darling Basin water and loot Australians of tens of billions of dollars through increased water charges.
Who benefits from electricity price spikes to $14,500/MWh, and who pays? Don’t let debates about climate change and renewables blind you to possible cases of vested interests being allowed to exploit the market and gouge the public.
Numerous dead fish now floating down the Darling River and in the Menindee Lakes is more evidence that the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) has mismanaged the basin, as the CEC has long documented. So-called “environmental flows” since the MDBA’s notorious “Basin Plan” commenced in 2012 have flushed precious water into swamps and out to sea, and in the process caused riverbank erosion previously never seen.
The Citizens Electoral Council has today issued a new mass-distribution flyer on policy solutions to the oncoming global financial crisis, “The five-point program for Australia to survive the new global crash”.
