‘It’s ridiculous’: Tony Abbott calls out Albanese government’s nuclear stance
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has “created a contest” with the Albanese Labor government over the practicality of nuclear and renewables, says former prime minister Tony Abbott.
“It’s the first time there has been a serious contest about energy and climate over the last decade,” Mr Abbott told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“This idea we can’t do nuclear when at least 33 other countries do - it’s ridiculous.”
i wouldn't call something that takes away farmland and destroying habitats green at all. at least the reactors would go in places where coal plants already were at.
Is everyone forgetting that the shit this so called renewable crap is made from is not biodegradable? It's killing off our bushland and, like mentioned above, our ability to produce and, when it's spent, it'll just be buried along with other plastics. Not that I really give a shit, but their argument for renewables is so extremely weak, it's not even funny. Nobody with a green agenda cares, however, as they're either a brain dead imbecile or they're getting very, very rich from it.
The carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels have the net beneficial effects of greening of the planet with increased agricultural yields (main effect), reduced winter heating costs, fewer deaths from hypothermia and postponement of the next glacial maximum.
Net Zero is prohibitively costly,, impractical and totally unnecessary. It is economically destructive delusional insanity.
The result of weak and corrupt politicians allowing ridiculous and economically destructive popular delusions to triumph over critical thinking and common sense in the formulation of energy policy.
We need to simply withdraw from the Paris Accord and use the most economical energy resources available.
It’s ridiculous, everyone is stressing about nuclear power yet we will have 6 nuclear submarines stationed in WA with no choice. Same risk but no comment from Albo.
We should simply withdraw from the Paris Agreement and use the most economical energy resources available.
Worldwide, over 10 trillion dollars has already been spent on climate mitigation with little benefit to anyone except renewable energy companies and their shareholders.
We should simply use the most economical energy resources available.
the argument is over, not only will they be based in the east and west coast but also visiting australian navy ports around the country.. we will have weapons grade uranium reactors litterally in every australian city..
What's ridiculous is the sub engines are literally sealed and we won't have access to them. We have to go to put in Britain are America to refuel or maintenance.
No we don't. Stop lying

A real down to earth Australian, a more honest man would be hard to find.
only in politics.
crap
I used to like him, now....he's just a dickhead!
The cost of supporting Ukraine is WW3, so this fool has shit for brains.
Nearly choked on my coffee damn thats funny
Tony Abbott scum like the rest
Politicians need to DECLARE their Financial Investment in 'Green Companies' and Shares. They are just building their personal Nest Egg.
How about Simon Holmes à Court’s funding of the teal women MPs?
Labor has too much money personally in green energy.
They don’t mind throwing YOUR money at their latest thought-bubble. No research, just throw OUR money at anything for the ABC to put on telly.
You mean too much of our super funds.
Abbot is a top man
😂
Well said Tony!
Australia is uniquely well suited to nuclear power.
We need a government with balls to deal with the future world- yes a little spine and masculinity instead of the toxic femininity that typifies the Labor government.
The only thing I've got against Tony is what he did to Pauline Hanson, it showed a complete lack of morality and he should be man enough to publicly front Pauline and apologize to her and the Australian people.
We could certainly use someone like Abbott in government right now. 🙏🏻
You've got a very short memory for how incompetent he was when he was PM
@@decomposing yeah all that woke garbage. Imagine how different things would be if he'd shut it down
He's a goose. Nobody with a functioning brain likes him.
WTF are you talking about woke garbage? Whatever his position is on it now is because he no longer has to pander to anyone for their votes. It's easy to be a hero after the fact.
He's a spineless worm.
Turncoat Turnbull should never be forgiven for what he did to the Liberal Party:
- Deposed Abbott, who not only won in a landslide (which many forget) but arguably would have been the next Howard-esque PM. And what I've learnt, particularly over the last few years, is that Howard was a lot better for our country than many people realised. In doing so, he ruined their reputation (that Abbott had spent years campaigning for) that the Liberal's don't remove PM's. Which of course, after the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd years, was important. They really did never quite recover from that.
- Took the party to the left, alienating their conservative base and doing things they would never have even considered doing years prior.
- And then, when he was removed (which what I mentioned above contributed massively to), cried endlessly about it. Spent years afterwards trashing the Liberal's, including releasing a book right in the middle of COVID airing 'dirty laundry'.
Say what you want about Abbott, but one thing you've got to give him is he was loyal. Perhaps too loyal really, and loyal to the wrong people (Bishop, Hockey). And, he did what he said he'd do for the most part. Got rid of the carbon tax, and stopped the boats. Really, he started what Peter Dutton went on to do so well as Immigration Minister (which is why I want him to become PM). If only he'd got to remain PM, who knows how long he would have lasted, but it would have been interesting.
One thing he did that I always loved, was when he was giving his concession speech for Warringah and Zali Steggall was mentioned, people started booing. But instead of egging them on, Abbott told them to pipe down. I always thought that was really graceful.
Turnbull however, may be wealthy and intelligent but he lacks very much so in decency and human spirit. I watched that ABC special on the latest Liberal years, and apart from Abbott saying to Turnbull in the party room 'well Malcolm, you should have let me finish my Prime Ministership' (after Turnbull had asked him if he'd let him finish his sentence), there was one other bit I thought was really fitting. Warren Entsch was the 43rd signature on the ballot paper to depose Turnbull, and next to his signature he wrote 'for Brendan Nelson' (who Turnbull had deposed to become leader originally). That, I thought, just really summed it all up.
@@decomposing Oh really!!
You tell them Tony! Bowen and Co are bloody idiots.
This is the most sense I have heard coming from Abbott in years
Bring back Abbott. Parsons nose Stegall is useless .
Why, he couldn't even get 2 years out of him before his own party pissed him off. Worst still we have to pay the c$$t for the rest of his life
@@jimmartin9704do you use that argument for Rudd, too……?

Yep, Rudd, Gillard, Abbott, turdble

Albo and Bowen bragging about their working class roots. Working class people should be ashamed of them.
Albo has just given himself a pay rise. $600,000.00 a year while we are all suffering and struggling to pay our bills. A $63.00 tax cut is nothing
If Dutton becomes the next MP he must have Abbott by is side these two can make our strong again.
You are genuine Tony. I was your secretary for a lil while when you were health minister and I was DLO. You came out introduced yourself and shook my hand. I believe in what you believe in, keep it up brother
Bring on necular!! Wind and solar aren't going to do it for Aussies. We should have gone straight from coal to necular!!
Had an email from my energy provider...they want to put a 1.2 cent tax a kw on solar between 10am to 3pm.. only on people that have solar on the roof and no battery because we are putting to much into the grid

Why is that my Electricity provider charges me 43 cents per kwh but only give me bugger all for what I input into the the grid???? Seems that I am being gouged?
You need to have solar off grid with its own battery storage
First off, I agree wholeheartedly Tony. I wish you were still PM.
I can't say I'm entirely sold on nuclear, as I know it has a lot of downsides. But the insistence on renewables isn't good either, those solar panels that only last 25 years are going to have to be dumped somewhere.
More like 10 - 15 years life and there will be (2,250 x 365 x 7) 2.75 million of the buggers!!
Yeah, nah, Ukraine isn't our problem. Fix Australia first.
Sorry Tony but that goes against everything I have see on the Ukraine subject. Ukraine forces have been annihilated, yes putting up a brave fight but this madness has to stop.
So what about the pact with NATO back 2014 that agreed NATO wouldn't encroach any further towards the Russian border.
Ohhhh ..... and who did blow up the Russian gas pipeline 🤔🤔
It's USA disgrace that this conflict is so outta hand ...... supported by NATO
Hey, to end 'this disgrace' Russia just has to:
* pull their troops out of Ukraine
* repatriate Ukrainian soldiers, civilians, and CHILDREN
* pay damages to Ukraine
* promise to never invade Ukraine again
I mean, it is quite simple, and completely within a unilateral Russian action!
I have noticed a lot of low clouds we need to pay these criminals money to keep the sky up
Thanks!
Ask the CEO of the world’s biggest offshore wind generator installation company, Ørsted AS, a Copenhagen Exchange listed company. He said offshore wind generation will always be EXPENSIVE. I quote the Financial Times. Only Bowen says wind power is free, but the capital cost is huge and the wind doesn’t blow for 60% of the year. Therefore, Bowen is either ignorant or he is a conman selling us snake-oil.
Coal and Gas is free.
As in 'In the ground'. What is not free are the royalties given out and the cost of mining coal and retrieving gas. Royalties given to Aboriginal groups was/is mis-used and should be used to 'close the gap'.
You’re wrong on the the Ukraine TA.
We need Tony Abbott back as PM
Being a Caveman, oops Caveperson, oops Cavething would be cheaper... whose with me?
The thing that gets to me is the double standards and privilidges afforded AEMO and CSIRO etc. Any normal worker or business makes a very large mistake, well that's pretty much it for the savings and probably the house. These super highly educated and paid people seemingly deliberately , fudge the numbers in the billions of taxpayer dollars and get away with it. Their lives are not worth that much when counted against the loss of medical facilities because of their deceit or gross incompetance. We need organisations to be answerable, especially public funded ones.
Can someone tell me who Kat Wong is who was asking Mr Carlson stupid questions?
If you care so much about Ukraine you would negotiate peace and stop innocent civilians dying immediately in a REAL world 😮
It's not us, it is NATO, pushing, Russia did warn them, In Australia we are so lucky we are gurthed by sea, .We have so much, what other countries want, why are we so poor....
No one can negotiate peace with a dictator like Putin, only once Putin goes to the afterlife will there be peace.
You mean in an idealistic world, sadly the destruction and blatant killing we are witnessing from these so-called leaders is the REAL world.
now people really need Mr Abbott
AS well as Bushmaster and Hawkei why bot our FA18's that are sitting in the shed on Guam they should also be given to Ukraine and yes our pilots should train them i mean i hate war at any time but i also hate genocide by one peoples to another
I read this somewhere and this somes up Greens very nicely. They have got to cocky.
they are now major political players with radical policies for every part of government aimed at undermining Australia’s freedom, security and prosperity.
Why are other countries, including allies, building nuclear and coal fired power stations? Why doesn’t Albanese change these countries during his junkets?
Abott actually LOST his seat 😂
Thanks to a corrupt media 🤬
Green is failing not falling short. If it continues we will inevitably have grid brown and back outs.
We need to get to net zero my arse! Everyday I drive past coal trains heading to the port of Newcastle full of energy that we export so other countries can use it but we can't. Its all a crock of shit. Labor voter my whole life but no more.
Great work tony
Our country would be so much better off with Tony in control.
Who is interviewing who????
Abnot: Good on Australian issues crap on international issues.
Majority of LNP and families are heavily invested in fossil fuels and mining! Can Sky board member Abbott give us an overview of the US 2023 energy costs and the highest cost! And why they are closing some of their reactors??
Abbott started rambling about Ukraine what nonsense … none of us should have gotten involved in the first place
IF BY ANY CHANCE TONY CRUISE YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE JUST DIAL 911 ALOT ( I WAS NEVER MEANT TO KNOW WATT I DID.)
Albo is a gutless wonder.
No we are not a nation of wimps but we sadly are represented by the biggest wimp we have
to bad he was not like this when he held power
WTF? wrong on Ukraine!
Look at you two reminiscing of when you were "Once were Warriors"
I didn't realise SkyNotNews can interview their Board members with their known biased opinions!! Maybe Tony can tell us what the US 2023 stats have found on their most expensive energy sources.... leading to the closures of nuclear reactors!!!
can you see the difference between abbott and albo "abbott can swim really well and albo bobs around like a jellyfish
Sack albo now
Ukraine can't win that war
wind and solar are not free, they are very expensive when you have to pay for windmills and solar panels and a brand new grid network to connect it all. Then you have to replace it all every 15 years. Then you factor in the damage to the environment by putting this gear in all of these beautiful country areas and prime agricultural lands. Then you have the trillions of dollars putting all this together, only to have to replace it just as you finish the project in 2050 Then you have the landfill of all of these panels and mills and all the CO2 caused by china manufacturing new ones.
Or just have a few nuclear power plants wired into the grid at sites of old power stations. Nuclear is the cheapest and best option.
Ton’s very wrong on Ukraine commentary, but great on the energy points.
He lost all credibility after parading around in his budgie smugglers.
Tony's as right about the Nuclear energy as he is wrong about Ukraine.
Have you been there????
So, you've been to the Ukraine or just been watching the ABC and SBS?
Well sead, definitely 🤗💯🌎👍🐖🇦🇺🇺🇸❤️ 2:42
Trust for event deep😮😮😮
He is so full of crap over Ukraine it's not funny ............
Yep Ukraine has basically been taken over by the United States. If Abbott spent a few days in Russia, he'd have a different opinion I'd say.

Wow, *Shaun Maher*
You've really been on your rags lately, mate.
Everything alright? Did they raise the price of Winfield Blues?
I do totally disagree, definitely 🤗💯🌎👍🐖🇦🇺🇺🇸❤️ 4:47
Much more effort could go towards increasing Australia's forests on land and in the ocean, thereby rapidly reducing CO² .
It is a smart investment.
We don’t need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They are actually beneficial.
Net Zero is economically destructive delusional insanity.
Instead we clear massive hectares of forest to make way for solar and wind farms!!
What about Israel?????
It is a nuclear power like Russia.
The armament manufacturers want to keep the Arabs and Jews fighting, just like they like the war in the Ukraine to continue.
It is good for business.
This man is English he works for an English company and is considered by world leaders and academics as being one of Australias worst Prime ministers.
He was only Prime minister for 3 years before he was thrown out by his own party.
He reinstated Knightships for god sake.
Mr Abbot’s own party also has climate and energy policy wrong.
Net Zero is economically destructive delusional insanity.
It is prohibitively costly, impractical and totally unnecessary as the carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are largely beneficial. We need to stop wasting money and resources on this nonsense.
One of the best PM's we have ever had and he was honest!!

We didn't need it then.
@@lesblack413 It was only ten years ago. We could have 10 functional reactors by now. What you meant to say was Tony Abbott couldn’t lay straight in bed and is clueless about energy or climate.

it is, by russia at least
Easier cheaper options are available- so why should Australia choose a hard expensive path with extremely high risk?
Japan Germany Switzerland and others are getting out of nuclear after the lessons of FUKUSHIMA
To start with Fukushima what lessons .. that was an Earthquake Tsunami event if you know anything about Japan you'd know that they have the most advanced Building Codes designed for Earthquakes and Tsunami's the only lesson in that area in the Cooling Pump Power generator never to be built behind the Sea Wall no one died of radiation poisoning 22,000 people were drowned , swept out to sea .. Japan’s Nuclear Plants all still operating and Germany well lets see ..They Import Nuclear Power from France plus now they are also restarting Coal Fired Power Stations
Switzerland Nuclear supplies 35% 2 more large scale Plants are Planned also 60% Hydro Power and 5% from Wind Solar and Bio Mass (Burning Trees ) I also suggest you do more research on Renewables they are not as Clean or Green as promoted
The main lesson from Fukushima was that the natural nuclear energy inside the Earth which powers plate tectonics and produces earthquakes and volcanoes , kills many times as many people as nuclear power plant accidents.
You are so wrong!!
Correct. The share of nuclear energy is falling globally, while renewables are growing everywhere, and rightly so.
Wrong
I used to love you

Coal is much cheaper than gas.
Especially when Australia is Giving Gas Away to Other Country's for next to Nothing !
No way gas transports itself
@StuFletch68 really? So all those compressors and pipelines that I was designing and building for decades were completely useless. Trumped by magic I guess.
@@lynndonharnell422 yeah Coal, much cheaper to transport!
@@StuFletch68 : Yes, coal is cheaper.
Politicians getting kickbacks from renewable energy projects.
Come Back Tony! we need you
Dumb politicians. Pump gas into the system, lower energy cost and make Australia productive and then we can mess around with other with other power sources.
Can't Labor (Greens) won't allow It !
In the short term yes. Look at the US, shale gas has lowered their CO2 emissions by replacing coal.
If Aus is building wind and solar anyway then switch baseload from coal to gas, followed by nuclear once regulation and manufacturing infrastructure is in place.
Yet NSW has band gas from all new dewlings???
We have coal coming out the war zoo for ever we should ignore the climate alarmists and use it. If not nuclear power.
Our nearest star ( Sol ) drives climate on planet Earth .. and it always has .
Yes,humans need to appreciate the uniqueness of our planet in relation to the sun.ROTATION and REVOLUTION are it when it comes climate from EQUATOR to the POLES and in between( refer to KOEPEN classification.Let's pray that earth / sun relationship stays constant.
FREE bag of dirt with your solar panels
Nuclear is so bloody obvious
Looks like gas is a must and nuclear power in the future is given in this day and age 😮😮😮

Tony Abbott was a very underrated PM.
Yes, do come back Tony Abbott. There never has been a time when Australia needs you more involved in the political arena. Labor knows it has stuffed up 'Big Time' with one thing and another, and will be absolutely desperate to win the next election. We can't trust them, as the only thing they are good at is breaking promises.
Prayer is the best way of managing risk when there is an unmanageable crisis.
Tony about has absolutely no idea what he's taking about. Not one fact. Stick to politics not engineering and economics.
I wouldn't mind seeing Mr Abbott back as PM he talks sense.
Best Australian PM in my lifetime was Tony Abbott. Sadly though, we can’t go back so we all need to GET BEHIND PETER DUTTON & DAVID LITTLEPROUD. They are emerging as great leaders for the best alternative government which can drive Albo and his cronies into oblivion.
So you’re out to squash Pauline again, because you know she speaks the truth. Callide Mine was built for that exact fucking reason. Man up Howard, and you John. If you don’t know the history research.
So few people killed in nuclear accidents compared to modern events like the war in GaZa: more than 37 thousand civilians killed and more than 86 thousand wounded. Let’s take the risk now.
Bring him back for another stint as PM!
