Spain. Japan, Germany, and INDIA! (repeat INDIA) are putting resources into solar energy - how much sunshine is there in Germany compared to Australia?! - or are they just smarter than we are? Thirty years ago we led the world in solar energy, now we are nowhere.

Non-means tested rebate was pure middle class welfare. Useless, worthless and a total waste money.

Jared, before you know it this will be an issue that you will have to face. Do yourself a favour and read a paper once in a while or watch the news. Ignorance is certainly not bliss!

Kurt Fearnley: I was relief teaching in Blayney when I met Kurt as a young school boy. The first thing that struck me was his smile and contagious positive outlook at all times. I see nothing has changed with this outstanding Australian. Although I never saw him again, it is a testament to the power of his personality that I have not forgotten him more than 15 years later.
