Quality of politics in the country across ALL parties and at ALL levels is crap.
Look at that stupid liberal jerk in WA .... wants no coal fired power stations by 2025.
If the polls are correct, the Libs are facing obliteration in the West with the Nats to form the opposition. I guess Kirkup is clutching at straws to get some swinging voters on board.
I understand that WA is more reliant on fossil fuel for power generation than other states so eliminating coal-fired power generation by 2025 would be a pipedream. A significant part of their power generation is government-owned too so there wouldn't be the economic pressures that commercial power generators are facing. That said, WA probably has greater scope for renewable power than most places, particularly if tidal power generation is utilised.
