Green carpetbaggers load up in Labor’s last four months

[nero_bolt]

Waste waste and simply more waste from this INEPT govt

They are risking our money on risky loans for projects that won’t lower the temperature anyway, under a scheme almost certain to be scrapped in four months:

THE Clean Energy Finance Corporation is planning to write up to $800 million in green loans before t...   defying the Coalition’s call for the agency not to sign contracts before September 14 because Tony Abbott has vowed to scrap it.

The CEFC has revealed it is in “active discussions” with 50 projects seeking $2 billion and that an additional 119 project proponents have presented proposals that are seeking finance worth $3.3bn. The figures are contained in an email from the CEFC to the opposition pleading its case not to be scrapped if the Coalition wins the election.

Why doesn’t the Gillard Government stop this reckless waste of scarce money?

Is there any to give?

I'd have to be depressed to not know that there is good news.

"In his budget reply speech this month, the Opposition Leader repeated his vow to "scrap Labor's green-loans scheme for projects that the banks won't touch".

"Asked what the CEFC could write between its start date of July 1 and August 12, when the pre-election caretaker period begins, Mr Yates said he would be happy if the CEFC could write between $600m and $800m."

it isnt andrews job to give "good news''  his job is to help unseat a duly elected government.

he does a fine job. that racist charge was a beat-up despite him being convicted.. he knows more than a mere judge with decades of experience ..

This has just been on ABCnews24.... 

Just because it is on Bolt does not mean it does not show anywhere else... 

I think it is wrong to give hundreds of millions in just 4 weeks before an election. 

How can anyone decide if a project is worth a billion dollar loan in just 4 weeks???? 

If a bank won't give you the money then the government should not invest... it is that simple. 

We have a HUGE debt and have no right to borrow money for these types of projects.. let them go to a bank and borrow the money if it is such a good idea.

From what I can deduce the source actually is  Sid Maher  from The Australian, who does not have quite as many LL bullet holes in him as that nut Bolt.

i doubt your opinion has any merit. like Bolt you have no experience in federal politics.

and possibly less understanding of the machinations of government . Bolt, yourself and I are unqualified to comment for this reason. remember (just as he has forgotten conveniently) That the Howard Government was the most wasteful in australian history., thats a fact. our debt to GDP ratio is in fact very low compared to other developed economies.. our finances are in fact in good shape despite the FUD.

well now he does. if bolt steals his work it isn't a compliment, its an embarrassment.
