Ray Hadley calls for PM to spend ‘more than five hours’ in Alice Springs

Radio broadcaster Ray Hadley has called for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to spend more than five hours in the Northern Territory and speak to business owners about “the basket case that is Alice Springs”.
Mr Hadley said the Prime Minister is so “enraptured” by the Voice, it doesn’t suit his narrative to address the issues in the Northern Territory.
“Even Labor MP Marion Scrymgour is saying today, ‘we have got to change it’,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray.
“She’s calling for the change, and the best he can do, the Prime Minister, is say, ‘well, I respect her, I’m going to talk to her very soon about what she wants’.”

Just tell him the Australian open tennis is playing in Alice and he’ll spend 10 hours there

[@ZELJKO472]

If tennis was in Alice Albo would demand a fortress to be built surrounding it first and he would still pack his Huggies pull ups and ask for a dozen security guards

ANZAC DAY is a line for all true blue Australians to draw in the sand. It should unlawful for any person to conduct a “Welcome to Country” ceremony on ANZAC DAY. Ex-service and current members of the Australian Defence Forces should not be publicly treated as if their just foreign soldiers standing upon the soil on which they were born. Welcome to Country messaging on ANZAC DAY is a public insult to these men and women who have served past and present and to those that have fallen for the sake of all Australians. The laws in Australia which restrict and prohibit certain activities on ANZAC DAY need to be updated in respect of due honour and observance from all Australians on ANZAC DAY. 🇦🇺💯%

I have worked at liddel power station as a contractor, what I have seen is the place is hanging together on a shoe string. It is worn out. Power stations were originally designed for 50 years operation. It becomes extremely expensive to maintain them as time goes by. Eraring has had better maintenance, yes I have also worked there, and is in much better condition. It should be able to run for 60 to 70 years.

[@johnmech4617]

This Prime Minister needs to go, he promised cheaper electricity last election, he also promised tax breaks for small businesses. Instead, come July we will all pay 30% more for power and low-income earners 70 to 120k will be taxed more. Renewables simply do not work, closing down these power stations before we have something to replace them is just crazy. It's like selling something that doesn't yet exist. I'm not stupid either the amount of wealth in our ground should see us one of the lowest taxed countries in the world, instead, we are officially the highest taxed country in the world. The only answer Albo has is more tax, liberal doesn't have any answers either. What's the answer? scrap this pommy government, this Lib/Lab is just a merry-go-round.

[@dawneevon]

3 days at the tennis was worth it, Albo got the support of Tennis Australia . Now watch Hewitt, Kyrgious, Barry etc do T.V. ads for the Yes Vote😮

Won’t happen. Just as it didn’t with Morrison, Turnbull, Rudd, Gillard, Howard, Keating, Hawke……… Abbott to his credit did. They are ALL the same.

Instead of spending more than five hours in Alice Springs, he just needs to cancel liquor licences in the NT, and in Kings Cross and Oxford street in Sydney.

[@calvinsmith1295]

We are seemingly heading down the same road as South Africa which experiences up to 12 hours DAILY of power cuts thanks to incompetent management. This is causing undue hardship for millions of citizens and is wreaking havoc on the economy.

The telephone is a good analogy. When the technology became redundant we stopped using it. As for cost, it was more expensive initially but it became cheaper once everyone was using it. The difference is governments don’t tax mobile phones like they would solar power. Let private companies work it out and government stay out of it

[@pookeyhutchison7838]

Get the facts right first right Ray it is an average of 7500 megawatts per hour. Times that by 24 and you get the real usage of 180000 megawatts of energy used. So with the wow factor of a super battery that provides 500 megawatt hours where do you get the other 179500 megawatt hours of electricity?

[@oldgolfer7435]

Hadley makes his living by talking confronting rubbish, especially so when Paul Murray is the host. Abbott used to go to a coastal palm tree aboriginal settlement in Queensland for a holiday under the pretense of aboriginal welfare. Nothing came of those sojourns. Albanese could spend days in Alice Springs, and achieve nothing. It is acting on the advice he receives that counts. This issue has been coming for decades, and it will continue so as long as people still describe aboriginal habitat as "Town camps". For aboriginals to live in other than "Town camps" it will take more than wishful thinking, or the presence of the AFP which is Dutton's answer. NB. The people making their fortunes on the sale of alcohol in Alice Springs are not aboriginal.

There is a certain group who actually go and take these kids in to keep them off the streets when the big wigs come in to take a look at the issues. The problems get hidden from the eyes of those who have the power to put forward actions to ease the problems.... Nothing to see here, its all been exagerated now get back on your plane and leave our kids alone is the attitude. Would be good to see those groups keep consistant in with keeping the youths off the streets altogether.
