He wants cheap electricity for the poor but his concern doesn't extend to them having enough money to not be poor.
I'm obviously too stupid to understand the logic ( if you can call anything that peanut says as logic) behind his thinking.
So the Government wants to privatise everything and let all the money flow offshore and we should be happy to have no money and cheap power until we can no longer live in a country that kills us with fire and floods.

Barnaby has no idea how cheap power would have to be to be affordable for the poor.
I haven't had a heater since 2007.
I spend more money on the supply charge than I ever do on the electricity itself.
I could afford electricity and gas back when the Government owned them.
I have a solar lantern that I charge every day and I never turn on a light I carry the lantern around the house.
In winter I go to bed nearly straight after the Sun goes

well, Barnaby was the one whinging and whining about how hard it is to live on his salary.

 

Maybe the โ€˜poorโ€™ he is concerned about is himself!

I'd love to see every politician live on fourteen thousand for one year.
Maybe they'd actually learn something other than being a rorter

He's lining himself up for another tilt at the leadership.
Rudd-Gillard Rudd
Abbott- Turnbull-Joyce- McCormack- Morrison-Joyce?
Stable competent government

the ABC is reporting that he has quit the Nationals Party Room but will remain a member of the LNP (Qld has a joint party) and will vote with the government in the parliament.

What it does mean is that it will now be harder for Barnaby to get the leadershio as this guy was one of the ones who voted for Barnaby.

 

Barnaby now needs 11 votes out of 20 instead of 11 votes out of 21.
