It’s best that Australia recall the haughty Poobah character from the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera who held numerous exalted offices.It is patently wrong for Chanticleer to declare that the “catastrophic loss of confidence in AMP [was] caused by the Hayne royal commission” .Chanticleer should not have to be reminded that the Hayne royal commission was not responsible for AMP charging fees to deceased clients.
However, as Warren says, the social objections in regional Australia, where the new renewable energy zones have been located, are substantial. But they are not as great as those for nuclear, the other touted option.
