    Think his number was $156B. <br><br>
    So if paid to the 18.4M adults, you're talking $162 per week / $703 a month / nearly $8500 per annum.

    <p>Labour have shown just how bad they are politically with this. They never intended to endorse this concept or hold it out as policy but what they were doing was a fairly (for them) forward thinking bit of brainstorming about where we are heading as a society and what kind of things we should be looking at.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The overall concept of creating a system where the production advantages from technology create wealth which is redistributed among the population is not an entirely stupid one. The devil is in the detail and the transition would be all round scary.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>For me it wouldn't be a question of creating layabouts it would be a re-designed society where 'social' tasks are done to qualify for a living entitlement. This is all idealism but certainly worth discussing and thinking about.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Now if labour had any smarts they would have packaged this as a whole 'Labour are thinking long term and holding various events and conferences to look at where we may be and what we may need to be doing sometime in the future. This can help shape current short and medium term policies.'</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Instead they painted a big target on their own backs for the media to take potshots and for everyone to laugh at.</p>

    Labour first mistake was listening to that arseclown Gareth Morgan, everything else after that was fruit from a poison tree.

    <p>LOL I have been thinking about that. So fuck it, let's go in boots and all:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://reneweconomy.com.au/2016/base-load-power-a-myth-used-to-defend-the-fossil-fuel-industry-96007'>http://reneweconomy.com.au/2016/base-load-power-a-myth-used-to-defend-the-fossil-fuel-industry-96007</a></p>

    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">Last week, leading lights of the global fossil power industry gathered </span><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://ceraweek.com/2016/'>at a conference</a><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> in Houston, Texas, for CERA, known in the sector as the “Davos of Energy”. They reportedly got the shock of their professional careers.</span>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">They had invited the most senior executives from the biggest network owner (Chine State Grid Corp) in the biggest energy market in the world (China). The organisers fully expected their Chinese guest to endorse the “all of the above” marketing pitch, which is underpinning the “keep coal” campaign.</p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">No such luck. Despite prodding by leading oil industry commentator Daniel Yergin, the chairman of State Grid Liu Zhenya <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.eenews.net/energywire/2016/02/26/stories/1060033055'>reportedly said</a> the “fundamental solution was to accelerate clean energy, with the aim of replacing coal and oil.”</p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">Gasp number one. And then to more stunned silence, he and State Grid’s R&D chief Huang Han dismissed coal’s claim to be an indispensable source of “base load” generation.</p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">As the network operator builds out its clean power sources, they noted, coal-fired generators could only serve as “reserve power” to supplement renewables.</p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">“The only hurdle to overcome is ‘mindset’,” Liu said. “There’s no technical challenge at all.”</p>
    </blockquote>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> :lol: Not what they were expecting from China  :biggrin:</p>
