And I thought it is Cunliff's big hit - given the noise with which he announced it? So you mean there is worse to come, do you? Increasing equality - maybe, but whether this is a good thing, I don't know. Look at Russia or North Korea - 2 states who worked for generations to increase equality - would you want to live there?" I certainly would not!
And if Labour wants to seriously increase the number of young people (to have more future workers), than they should look at making it easier for families to raise children, not just pay a bribe for the first (still quite cheap) 1 to 3 years and than let the families struggle on for the next 15 to 20 years without further support. Just another semi cooked Labour policy!
If you really want to dig into this subject - there is already plenty of material on the web. Of course - if you are off the grid, than solar panels can be for the individual (not necessarily the ecology) an economical sensible option, but I haven't yet seen any holistic business case (neither economical nor ecological) for feeding the power from solar cells back into the grid. BTW - it looks like even the Greens started to realise what nonsense they were proposing - they just changed their proposal to put instead a windmill on every roof:

Maybe somebody can tell them that their own clientele will complain about the noise - please build all these windmills, but please not in our green and quiet neighbourhood ... as well - did they look at the NWF shares - windmills appear to be really economical:t_down:
Isn't this a Mana policy? And what's the policy anyway? Just promising to spend more money they have not got in order to satisfy the needs of their specific clientele is not really a policy - its just another election bribe ...
Sorry elZorro - but I am still not sure what workable and sensible Labour policies you are referring to ...
