That’ll match their crappy internet services which more resemble a “developing country” than any other western nation.
Oh well they love their “Progression”, maybe a few thousand of their Third World imports from the Middle East will put their heads together and come up with a solution rather than gang beat “white’s” off the wonderful beaches.
Heh………..
The eco-leftists will simply convince a compliant, dull-witted, public that blackouts are the penance the industrialized world must PAY to “heal” the planet. Just as Jerry Brown(out) has convinced Californians that we are experiencing a “drought” in the middle of a monsoon of water and snow. And that Californians must be PUNISHED $$$$$ for daring to “use” water. The Auzzie greens will similarly convince the sheeple that they have no “right” to uninterrupted power. The so-called green leftists will convince the Australian people that they have no “right” to a lifestyle never enjoyed by Aboriginal peoples.
Routine blackouts are so Third World.
Oh, I don’t know. Take Ontario Hydro (please). Used to be a first class, First World operation … until political interference reduced its descendant parts into Third World cronyism and corruption.
Ontario is striving valiantly to achieve the same goal, and PM Butts is hoping to enlist all Canada into the club. But brownouts and blackouts are less laughing matters in sub-zero temperatures vs. during a heat wave.
The title of the linked article is wrong. South Australia has already had two blackouts this winter. The first was when the wind fleet shut down because of high winds, causing a complete voltage collapse of the grid. The second was about 20 days later, when grid control instituted rotating blackouts to prevent voltage collapse.

John Robson: If the elites are wrong about global warming, the damage will be enormous
It is far from harmless, especially when reputable opinion swings intolerantly behind bad science in service of bad policy. Governments in B.C., Ontario and elsewhere aim to reduce CO2 and equivalent emissions by nearly 80 per cent by 2050, with disastrous impact on Canada’s conventional energy industry and all of us who like to warm our homes, cook our food and get around. And to conceal the worldwide disaster in alternative energy programs merely compounds the offence. http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/john-robson-if-the-elites-are-wrong-about-global-warming-the-damage-will-be-enormous
You know what? We have exactly the leaders and policies that we deserve. Our parents an grand parents let Trudeau turf Diefenbaker’s charter. They let him put a freedom destroying charter in its place. They let the government turn education into indoctrination. We have let it all continue. All that is left for us and our children is to observe the terminal phase of a civilization.
As in “Enjoy The Decline”?
For the FIRST time in dozens of generations … our children will live POORer lifestyles than the preceding generation. This has EVERYTHING to do with a totalitarian leftist education system that has beaten-down the hope and expectations of our children (not to mention CRUSHING them under impossible debt). It is also due to the intergenerational THEFT of our children’s legacy by runaway government spending. Our children have inherited a MAXXED-OUT credit card … spent on crony-corruption and “feel-good” social spending … all of which is unsustainable and is coming DUE.
And the WORST of what our children are inheriting is … guilt. The white mans guilt. Guilt for having constructed Utopia while the 3rd world languishes due to primitive behavior (see: Islam) corruption, and ignorance. Our children have been brainwashed to believe they should feel guilt … until every human being on the planet is “equal”. This irrational notion will cause the next gen. to sit idly by while dam spillways erode and power is cut. Sadly, I don’t believe they will wake up until it is ALL gone.

My kids won’t and yours shouldn’t either if you teach them correctly and give them skills to counter the socialist bullshít.

Next year’s new dictionary entry:
Gangreenies:
supporters for reducing civilization’s energy supply.
Derived from Gangrene:
Lack of blood (energy) supply. Your blood provides oxygen, nutrients to feed your cells, and immune system components, such as antibodies, to ward off infections. Without a proper blood supply, cells can’t survive, and your tissues’ (citizens’) decay.
My captcha “viale Brisbane” hah
JG … I was generalizing … because just as I taught my children to REJECT the fanatical leftist lessons they were forced to accept as “education” … they were also taught PERSONAL responsibility and a work ethic. So MY KIDS are fine … I have (so far) succeeded FAR MORE than my ancestors … and my kids will EXCEED my modest accomplishments (well … at least 2/3 of them).
Sorry about the repeat … I don’t know how that happened. Something to do with me carrying my ipad from one room to another
I thought the millions of dollars lost in replacing food spoilt by refrigeration failure caused by blackouts would lead to a stimulation of the economy, similar to an increased demand by extra consumers. See Bastiat’s Parable of the Broken Window for proof of this economic stimulation theory.

North of 60 – you’ve found a way to avoid to protect your children from government policy? Like taxes for idiotic policies? Please tell us it’s not a way of milking the taxpayer. So what shield have you put up for your children?
Wait till this happens to a North American cities at -40. While Australians may lose their their fridge and stove in a blackout, at least they won’t freeze to death.
The scary part however are governments and populations who are too ignorant to understand that depending on wind generators, that are less than 25% efficient, will end up in total disaster.
As far back as 2007, I was told by a Sask Power technician that wind power, here in Saskatchewan, one of the windiest places in North America, ”was a total waste of taxpayer money.” He reiterated that while the wind projects do alleviate coal and gas consumption, SPC still had to keep fully staffed coal and gas fired stations working day and night. Especially at night when the wind dies down.
Yes, my generation voted that disgusting commie into office, but I did not vote for him, ever, because I knew then what he actually was. Like his son today today, he snowed the media.
we won’t enjoy it. I hope the terminally stupid are the first to go.
North of 60 has an indexed government Union pension.
He is a parasite.
