Labor MPs need to grow up and start taking nuclear seriously

[@Rod-rx4go]

Well spoken Mr Paterson as usual always truthful and well informed, Albo lives in La La land

[@novoca1n3]

I think it's hilarious that Albo had a cry on national TV about memes directed at him but is happy his colleagues are posting them about Dutton

[@weekendwithbevoblog2171]

100%. It just highlights Albo's and the ALP hypocrisy.

[@davefoord1259]

Yeah what a two faced immature sook

[@davefoord1259]

Transmission cost is not electrical losses. Your power is metered at your property.

[@jennymills3147]

Where did Anthony albanese get his 15 media personnel from, WARNER BROTHERS. If the best they can do is offer stills from homer Simpson cartoons, he's clearly not paying enough. 😂

[@Ernst12]

We need to note that most of the people concocting the cartoons have arts degrees, they have no idea how energy operates or the world for that matter. They moved from the university into a party political situation and now they have no idea about what their portfolios are about.

[@helengormlie966]

Love it!!

[@nevillegreg1]

That's a silly question. John Hewson didn't get the GST thru, but John Howard did. Just because a party loses an election doesn't necessarily mean it will drop a good idea forever forward.

[@Rosa-m5k2e]

Yes we are adults and are over the labour Greens propaganda it is an insult to us all

[@tiesword3252]

SEN. J PATERSON...SPOT ON, LET THE PEOPLE LEARN THE TRUTH.....

[@Wedgetail96]

Given Tom’s childish infatuation with Albo, it’s hardly surprising that he likes labor’s childish response to a facts based future for Australia in nuclear power.

[@jennymills3147]

Thank you Senator James Paterson.

[@graemehollings2461]

Good work Tom talking over your guest. Move to ABC you will be right at home.

[@BarbaraHambleton]

Is Tom a little slow or is it me

[@dfor50]

"Nuclear power would be a win for the environment and an essential part of the attacking that must be made on this grievous and dangerous global warming," Bob Hawke Dec 2016.

[@lesleyosborne9319]

Nuclear overseas is something like 4 CENTS A KILOWATT . WE are Paying Hundreds for Kilowatts. Look Overseas!!

[@davefoord1259]

No were not. And you should be talking kWh. Get educated about what you are commenting upon. KW is power. kWh is energy which is power xxtime. Were paying average 45c per kWh retail not hundreds.

[@alastairgair7504]

If Australian's wants unreliable power! Then lets just carry on with Labors expensive plan ! A

[@GStreet-o9z]

Reliable, affordable, clean energy and Australian owned - nuclear power is common sense.

[@philipgould4438]

Reach for the Stars Albo. Hahaha !

[@thelonewolf666]

labor know they are toast, most people want anything rather than failing useless renewables that have to be renewed

[@arismei]

We don’t want have all solar panel dump into Australia

[@evermore8888]

(Future) Prime Minister James Paterson…++

[@helengormlie966]

Sometimes Tom your a real dork!! Thank you Sen Patterson for your intelligence, articulation and patience. And your patriotic stance for Australia and its people.

[@noordhup]

Labor is full of simpletons

[@alancotterell9207]

Pauline Hanson is One Nation - not Labor. She creates LNP policies.

[@pkd6369]

labor are like a swarm of jelly blubbers being guided by a 'tide of juvenile incompetence,"

[@brunowolf-hx2ud]

THATS WHAT MAKES THEM LABOR

[@MrMikeV00]

No one bar the police gets to talk with me until then if they choose. I have to make assessments of my own now. Goodluck to all at the booths.

[@jonh9561]

Reliable power 24/7, utilizing existing infrastructure, whilst emitting zero emissions. Seems like the 'best value' option to me.

[@heidi_seeki]

I reckon Albozo would grateful for the Uniparty to deflect from the real issues facing the future of our country by initiating the nuclear argument. 👏🏻

[@cameronjohnston5748]

Go ahead with nuclear, but it must never be sold off. Companies have been syphoning off Australia for their overseas interests for too long. labor have become ridiculous and are pandering to the greens, without them they will lose government and their existence, not that I would be upset and cry like elbow about that.

[@jasonc9755]

If nothing else the nuclear proposal will keep labors head spinning, should keep them busy.

[@peterbrown4943]

What the hell is wrong with using coal to generate power. It’s cheap, clean and laying around on the ground near most existing power stations here in Australia

[@chrisgriffiths2533]

SOLAR ENERGY is Far Superior, Especially in Central QLD. Solar Energy given a Fair Chance Will Send Coal and Nuclear Broke.

[@Judyunknown1]

I could listen to SENATOR JAMES PATERSON ALL DAY AS HE IS FAR MORE SUPERIOR INTELLIGENT PERSON IN PARLIAMENT WHICH HAS ANSWERS WHICH ARE HONEST AND TRUE.!

[@ggslv58gng57]

residents near Coal Powered power plants do NOT GET a Discount --- Wake UP Australia

[@richardjidee5761]

No one has stated that as fact

[@cristinahague1433]

What he stated is that huge data centres (that is the future) will benefit being closer to a base load power source... milliseconds in the stock market have financial advantage... 😉 Or Heavy industry eg smelters who need base load would find it advantageous to be near a BASE LOAD POWER SOURCE...

[@peterbrown4943]

There is no such thing as green hydrogen, there most likely never will be. Talk to someone who knows, any hydrogen uses vast amounts of electricity to produce the hydrogen and the hydrogen only has a very small amount of power out. So you would need many thousands of gigawatts to get less than one gigawatt of hydrogen power.

[@evil17]

I believe it is roughly 1.5:1, ie; for every kilowatt of hydrogen energy it takes about 1.5 kilowatts to produce. Hydrogen is useful for certain industries like metal manufacturing & embrittlement but I don’t like the idea of hydrogen based transportation of any kind, imagine what might happen in a tunnel accident situation with many hydrogen vehicles coming to grief and one explodes setting off a huge hydrogen explosion in a city tunnel would be catastrophic.

[@MrMikeV00]

One last point. You're counterpart blocked me because I suggested two radical concepts in attempt to radicalise them. They were two concepts. Moisturiser and conditioner. Thats it. Its solid advice I think Senator.

[@imeagleeye1]

Radiation kills for Centuries.

[@AnchorsAweighNarooma]

Houses will need to become self sufficent in all areas, saving wires, sub station and transformers. Only heavy power business requiring power at this point. We need to think out side the BOX.

[@brunowolf-hx2ud]

GOD, I THANK YOU FOR AN INTELLIGENT MAN =LIKE JAMES PATERSON= THEY ARE SOOOO RARE THESE DAYS.

[@realaussiemale567]

It’s quite clear to me, labor don’t want to slow down or even stop the gravy train created by the renewables sector. There’s plenty of coalition & greens members who are the same. As for Bowen stating that nuclear is not clean just proves how out of sync he is with modern science.

[@evil17]

They dont believe what they are saying, they are just sticking to the script.

[@CC-uq4hu]

I’m ok with discount electricity!

[@MrMikeV00]

Just to say. Being classified a radical had unintended consequences. I won't get a clearance. I can guarantee that. I actually payed the deposit to get a sponsor already and he was 100% supportive and excited for me. Unfortunately I'll never see that 2k again. Hope you realise I came with concerns then advice and my personal problems last. I would call that a professional. Anyway im waiting till the election before i get on an aircraft. Have to entertain a side gyg in the meantime. No biggie.

[@BeyondSkys09]

Good question in the end by Tom, he's a top interviewer. I think if the Coalition have true conviction with the nuclear policy they should continue to advocate for it even if they lose the next election.

[@MrMikeV00]

Their agents are 17 to 1. You will not get anything else done if you don't handle that.

[@MrMikeV00]

When mike said " bigger than the cold war" i had a code Brown.

[@MrMikeV00]

I've been doing this for a little while. I'd prefer you do that part from now on Senator. Im available whenever to whonever for some advice.

[@lornacarlos]

Albo-the Fiasco has 11 media advisers means he has nothing to give Australia. It would have been better if he got advises experts in technological, financial, agricultural, science, and history experts not the greenies propagandists.

[@MrMikeV00]

Also please when ever you can Im serious about that reactor under my deck. The byproduct is heat. You could power canberra and i can heat my house with the heating circuit. I wasn't going to say this but i was gonna tap it and offer a hot water line to my neighbours. One week aftee seeing me walk out every morning on top it saying "you pretty little thing you" they are going to be asking anyway.

[@np2917]

Australia have largest Uranium reserve and Australian is not using Nuclear power plant... It is foolish... Like asking Saudi Arabia to don't drive petrol car. Or asking German people to don't use Mercedes or BMW.. Country must use own resources to prosper own people.. 😇 With electric car electricity demand will go 25X in Australia. If is it expensive then how Vietnam, India, and other countries can afford..!. 😇

[@paulfriend3449]

It’s NOT. A referendum it’s a vote for Labor or LNP, simple as that

[@MrMikeV00]

You have to understand the year before he was bragging. I knew then he was about to hit the fan. My brown hit the floor so think about it.

[@jamesaustralian9829]

Build natual gas plants instead. They spool up and down fast so they work good with renewable, and theor not mass opposed.

[@evil17]

Gas is fine (or coal or nuclear), but renewables are destroying our Australian environment, they have to go, look at what Twiggy Forest is doing to the Great Dividing Range right now with wind farms, it is a disgrace, wiping out thousands of acres of protected areas & species for wind farms that have huge dumping sites up north for unrecycleable blades that regularly fail. There is a lot of problems with bushfire starting renewables for very expensive low density & unreliable energy that needs replacing regularly, and yes we do pay extra for all that.

[@MrMikeV00]

Seriously i know you'll recover from my roodness. Were big boys here. And big strong will take crap woman and ev... we're strong. I have to be so careful.

[@RGNSS-hn8ew]

Agreed.

[@MrMikeV00]

If anything. Please put a reactor under my deck. This noisy inefficiency device is heating furnaces that make the glass for those silly wind turbines more than me. Youd hate to know what powers those furnaces. Coal is prehistoric carbon. Not good to burn that to make wind turbines and solar panels. You will loose that fight.

[@MrMikeV00]

Someone's sorry now. Guess who that is.

[@bryanbaldwin6440]

Are these two brothers?

[@MrMikeV00]

I didn't do the only phd in private military operations in this country to that illegally. Come on mate. It a security outfit set up exactly for AUKUS. Definitely not a get rich quick scheme. The only private jet frequent flyer of a PMC owner was the guy that seemed to have an accident with it. Mind you he was ghost riding 2 other two other jets. I still feel bad for him. I have a heart my friend. Democracy is hard work. So it should be.

[@MrMikeV00]

My trauma is my weapon. Don't envy me. Give me space. Im not a fan of people. I don't trust anyone. How do you think I found out your department classified me as a Radical. Let's not make the same mistake. I don't say sorry and i don't expect that word to leave a good senators mouth ever either. No matter the circumstances. Would be nice if i could start contributing unstead of living on the tit though. I think every Australian would agree.

[@Jackson-mj9vt]

Mate you need to learn some manners, invite someone on and continually interrupt

[@dennisbasford1813]

THATS A MATTER OF OPINION

[@alancotterell9207]

I am a risk-conscious scientist. I take nuclear very seriously !Do not base your plans on what has or has not happened in the past.

[@cristinahague1433]

Nuclear is BASE LOAD and fits the vernacular of being clean for the climate anxiety narrative pushers.

[@MrMikeV00]

Stick to the biggest threat please Senator. Australians will accomodate immigration, we will handle being called a Radical by your department. We will handle giving Cheng Li everything she ever needed. We can't handle all of that and the other issue. I can assure you. I myself have to abandoned everything else to do that.

[@jimgraham5221]

Wrong profession Tom!

[@graemeschubert6162]

Liberals blaming again there own policy hahaha😅

[@di_r67]

Stop interrupting senator Patterson! You just can’t let him finish his answer. You are obviously prejudiced against liberal ideals!

[@MrMikeV00]

Hope you know i also messed with every fake profile that tried to add me for 3 years. I knew who was on the other end. Calling me a radical was rood.

[@imeagleeye1]

The Children are following Will the Child. The truth of the matter is Nuclear Waste is Extremely Dangerous period.

[@MrMikeV00]

You're not getting apologies from thugs. The entire espionage game is a giant game of long deck style. Don't play like your a thug. Don't be idiotic like that. Cheng li needs discounts whenever she goes. Hospitality not a sorry. No preditor is saying sorry to its prey. Be wise. Let others be the silly loosers. You might be surprised we're all victims my friend. We enjoy loosing. You won't. The last 2 years is just another day at the office but im sorry to say. All that happened so far is you dragged this alleycat into intelligence. Now your either looking at me leaving Australia or you got yourself a private intelligence company as well.

[@amandastubbs8568]

Very annoying James. Why are you even on sky?

[@innocentbystander2673]

Paladin

[@PhillipMcCallum]

You were answed first time, why keep up asking and interrupting .your just a rude person

[@realaussiemale567]
