The transformation of South Australia’s political landscape will be set in concrete next week when seven new One Nation MPs are sworn in on the opening day of the new Parliament.
Cory Bernardi, Carlos Quaremba, Rebecca Hewett, Chantelle Thomas, Jason Virgo, David Paton and Robert Roylance will officially start their terms on Tuesday, 5 May.
The team has already been in action in the lead up to Parliament. In addition to demanding an inquiry into the conduct of the election they’ve had many meetings with stakeholders, done orientation and training, moved into electorate offices, begun hiring staff and dealt with a lot of media interviews.
Recreational fishing restrictions, transmission lines on farmland, marine infrastructure and hospital upgrades, regional public transport, the election inquiry and the long process of reforming local government are some of the priorities the team will deal with when they take their seats for the first time.
Matt Canavan to save Australia on TV this morning interrupted by notorious freemason Spearzy for about 10 minutes.
That nice Susan Ley has gone somewhere else with a good failure bonus from the “Future Fund” coming her way.
Down there in Albury her former electorate is stuffed with government workers and a big hinterland of rural types.
But watch out, many government workers are probably dormitoried in Wodonga across the river ( cheaper houses ).
How can one parliamentarian represent a cross section so broad and that polarised.
This is the task of Teals Party rep Michelle Muddlehead and Orange Party rep Flip-flop Farley.
Flip-flop is willing to be all things to all people and will do anything for a seat, could potentially start his own party 5 minutes after a win.
Muddlehead gets funding from Baron S. Hacca’s “Climate 200” but pretending not to, and suddenly on board with petrol refineries.
The Teals Party EXISTS to deliver government to the communists, Flip-flop should be making headlines saying it’s all over for the climate hoax.
If they are starting out by telling lies where are they going with that.
I’m waiting to see if One Nation’s Senators vote against legislation to give ASIO and police new powers to crush criticism and dissent in the name of protecting “Social Cohesion”…

What Comes Next Will Affect Every Australian. Here’s What’s Actually Happening (14:23):

Well folks,
So Super Pauline’s Political Party – an incorporated entity – is poised to take over SA and rule the joint, the One Party to Rule Them All!
Hooray!
You DO understand that they’re not a real “government”, that they’re ALL working for a foreign-owned CORPORATION, right?
Hey, call me a cynic, but I’ll be celebrating when the perp walks start and they televise the PUBLIC EXECUTION of hordes of Treasonous anti-Australian mass-murdering baby-eating mongrel arsehole bastards, not before.

SA has been pioneering renewable energy and I would with them success but it seems it has been a disaster with prices going up 30% last year instead of down, how can you run a modern economy without energy, you can’t. I asked the bot about the solar thermal unit at Mildura which is on the border of 3 states and it said
“If you want to see heat storage actually being turned back into electricity at scale, the clearest real-world demonstrations are concentrated solar thermal plants using molten salt.
One of the best-known is Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex in Morocco:
Uses molten salt to store solar heat during the day
Can keep generating electricity for hours after sunset
Shows the full cycle working reliably at utility scale”
( and )
“In molten-salt solar thermal systems, the salt typically cycles through a fairly well-defined temperature range:
Typical operating range
Cold tank: ~260–290 °C
Hot tank: ~550–565 °C
So the working swing is roughly ~270 °C → ~560 °C.
Salt is pumped from the cold tank and heated by concentrated sunlight up to ~560 °C
It’s stored hot, then later used to produce steam for a turbine
After giving up its heat, it cools back down to ~270 °C and returns to the cold tank
🧂 Why this range
Below ~220 °C, common nitrate salts start to solidify (which can block pipes—big problem)
Above ~600 °C, they begin to degrade and damage materials
So the operating window is a balance between efficiency and stability”
( and )
“Good question—this is exactly where the differences between thermal storage (molten salt) and lithium batteries become really clear.
Lithium batteries (South Australia – Elon Musk project)
The famous system is the Hornsdale Power Reserve (Tesla big battery).
Typical cost level
Modern lithium battery systems in Australia:
about $800–$1,400 per kWh installed
Some estimates cluster around:
~$700–$1,000 per kWh for larger systems
So a rough rule of thumb:
~$1,000 per kWh is a good ballpark for lithium grid storage
Molten salt / thermal storage (solar thermal)
These are harder to compare directly because they store heat first, then convert to electricity.
Typical cost level (converted to electricity basis)
Long-duration storage (including thermal systems):
around ~$200–$300 per kWh
But:
That’s often for long-duration (8+ hours) storage
Includes the lower efficiency of converting heat → electricity
Direct comparison (simple)
Technology
Typical cost per kWhStrengthLithium battery~$700–$1,400 Fast response, grid stability
Molten salt thermal~$200–$300 Cheap long-duration storage
The key trade-off (this matters more than cost)
Lithium batteries
Very fast (milliseconds response) Great for: grid stability short-term storage (1–4 hours) Expensive for long duration
Molten salt
Slower (steam turbines) Great for:overnight / long-duration storage Much cheaper per kWh at scale Needs a thermal power plant, not just a battery”
( and ) Compare to Snowy 2.0
“🧮 If you use OLD ($12B) estimate:
~$12B / 350 GWh
👉 ~$34/kWh
✔️ This is the number I was effectively referencing earlier
✔️ It’s the “classic” pumped hydro cheap-storage figure
🧮 If you use NEW (~$42B) estimate:
~$42B / 350 GWh
👉 ~$120/kWh
👉 That’s a 3–4× increase
.
So molten salt beats everything except gas, and Snowy 2.0 because of blowouts costs more than Elon Musk’s batteries at least for the first 20 years until the batteries need replacing.
Next question does South Australia have molten salt:
“Aurora Solar Thermal Project (planned, not completed)
Near Port Augusta
Designed as a 150 MW solar thermal plant with molten salt storage
About 1,100 MWh storage (≈8 hours)
Would heat salt to ~565°C and run a steam turbine
This was the big flagship—but it never reached full delivery.”
OH NO DID THE CFMEU STEAL THE MONEY AGAIN
