Victoria never lost all its energy. The state continued to function.

You idiot. We lost the whole of our gas for a couple of weeks.

How quickly you forget.

You didn't lose anything like "the whole of your gas."

You had very substantial capacity being supplied via two pipelines from
Moomba (South Australia) via the MSP to NSW, thence via two pipelines to
Victoria. That gas was fed straight into the Vic distribution networks and
bypassed Longford (the site of the disaster).

Yes, you had supply restrictions but nothing like a total shutdown.

And nothing nearly as severe as the union-led power restrictions that went
on and on, on a wildcat basis, for years in the government-run 1960s/1970s.
And were entirely avoidable.

And even someone as stupid as you should have noticed what
happened with the privatised gas industry in Vic when it went bang.

Victoria has always had a private gas production industry, which is
where the bang happened.

So much for your stupid pig ignorant lie that privatised operations
always do their maintenance effectively enough so that that sort
of spectacular problem doesnt ever happen. Just another lie.

It was never "privatised."

Another lie. It was, before natural gas was the source

Pedantic stuff Rod.

Pathetic excuse for bullshit, cocksucker.

We, of course, talking in the modern era of natural gas.

Squirm, squirm, squirm, squirm, fooling absolutely no one at all, as
always.

Yep, heads rolled out of that and the producers paid big-time. But
guess what, it didn't cost the govt a heap.

Irrelevant to your stupid pig ignorant lie that private industry
always does maintenance effectively enough so the consumer
doesnt see any loss of the service they are paying for.

That's not what I said.

Caught lying. Again.

Disasters happen, whether public or private. And, as the chair of the
board of inquiry for the Longford disaster said after apportioning
blame, "this complex industry still has much to learn."

Irrelevant to your stupid pig ignorant lie that private industry
always does maintenance effectively enough so the consumer
doesnt see any loss of the service they are paying for.

That neither.

Caught lying. Again.

It's far too complex to be placed in government hands. Not even Gough
or Jim Cairns privatised the gas production industry, you notice.

You're lying again with gas production pre natural gas.

Geez, come into the 21st century, or late 20th at least. Sigh.

Squirm, squirm, squirm, squirm, fooling absolutely no one at all, as
always.

Too big, complex expensive and risky to use taxpayer money for backing
that sort of stuff.

No more complex than power generation, fuckwit.

MUCH more complex, risky and capital hungry than powergen.

But not with power distribution, fuckwit.

And even someone as stupid as you should have
noticed that the snowy scheme was done by govt.

A very small scheme in terms of power production.

Irrelevant to the scale of that, fuckwit.

Government debt (ie taxpayers) payed hugely for that one.

Completely irrelevant to whether it was done well by govt.

Keep desperately digging, you'll be out in china any day now.

Wierd comment. Lost your marbles? Pancreatitis coming on?

Squirm, squirm, squirm, squirm, fooling absolutely no one at all, as
always.

The good news: there is much more capacity now. It came on-line
over the past 3 years and it means, in essence, that there's good
reserves of supply in Vic and SA. And it didn't cost either state
govt a cent.

Pity about what it costs the consumer in higher power charges.

Consumers in Vic and SA are now paying the true cost.

Lie.

Baseless comment.

Lie.

Not some dodgy govt-subsidised pricing that requires someone, somewhere
to be robbed in order to prop up the political agenda.

Another lie. NSW uses it as a cash cow, fuckwit.

QUOTE from today's Herald:

He (Carr) has promoted one of his most trusted colleagues, Deputy Premier
Andrew Refshauge, to produce a vote-winning May budget that will earmark
billions of dollars for infrastructure to rescue the power industry and
water services.

UNQUOTE

Completely and utterly irrelevant to whether you got it just
plain wrong and NSW has been using it as a cash cow, fuckwit.

And that's just some fuckwit journo anyway.

Here we go again - never trust Labor with your hard-earned.

I dont, fuckwit.

Here's a radical ide: Why not SELL the business and rake in billions,
then let the privateers spend those billions.

Even someone as pig ignorant as you should have noticed that
Carr tried to do that, and the unions wouldnt let him, fuckwit.

Just like govt does with Telstra too.

Not for much longer.

Duh.

And just look how Telstra's value is being destroyed as a result og govt
meddling.

More completely pig ignorant drivel.

Sooner or later, probably sooner, people in NSW and Qld will pay for
the folly of non-market pricing.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you've never ever
had a fucking clue. No surprise that you're stuck with dick sucking.

Ummm no CONSUMER customers were allowed to use gas at all, and almost all
COMMERCIAL customers were either. It was emergency use only

That aint "very substantial capacity" when NO CONSUMERS were allowed to use
gas

No, really Rod...! Look when I was 7 or 8 or so I used to have
these arguments with my friends - you know the type... "Yes
you did!" - "No I didn't" and I usually won - but I realise now
that I was but a simpleton compared with you! Your ability to
have the last word is second to none. You should be proud
of such an achievement - the rest of us had to give up and
admit defeat many years ago when we were children but
_YOU_ have taken this skill to the peak of perfection - I take
my hat off to you Rod - I don't know anyone over the age of
ten who operates in the way you do.
