Prohibition would definately work in this instance.... :roll: Apart from the fact that the state should have absolutely nothing to say about what I can or cannot do to my body, I find the whole I idea of phasing it out over a many years deeply unfair and hypocritical.

Re: Renewable Energy Tech

Its a pretty significant shift in strategy. Transmission used to go to coal plants in the Hunter. Now they are going and the new centres of energy are nowhere near there. Its actually what makes the Gippsland OSW zones so attractive, there are existing TLs leading to Melbourne from there that used ...

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders

They were middle of the road team that year and managed to fluke a title run. Canes was the top team the entire season and choked. If they play best out of 3 series they would have lost 100% But, they won. That means they were the top team. The Canes didn't win. That means they weren't the top team...
