'Guess what? I don't trust you': Paul Murray calls Chris Bowen’s bluff on EV savings 

The ALP are not worthy of being called a mob ! They are GRUBS that need to crawl back down their opposition hole !

Make sure you do not vote liberal national n greens as well. Same sh$t different smell.

Good, but, what's the opposing mob's attitude about all this EV stuff ? Our new government in NZ , is making a lot more sense than we've been used to for too many years. I hope the same is coming for Australia. 🙂

There needs to be an entry on the ballot "No suitable candidate found". They are 2 cheeks of the same A$$.

Whats the alternative? Ted O'Brien has not directly rejected this, and the Libs are persisting with "net zero", which is itself a massive fraud.

This creep is beyond a scum bag he’s dangerous

yeah, but he looks so believable.

@davidhodder4479NO! Have a look at yourself in the mirror, and work out that like everyone else in the world, you are pushing your own agenda whilst totally ignoring the really basic things like people (women) who have worked all their bloody lives, borne children, not had consistent “careers” but the ‘shitty’ jobs in between children that they could find, even if they paid under the minimum wage. Why don’t you go and buy yourself a pair of satin boxer shorts with a nuclear warning printed on them, and shut up!

Ticking time bomb is what they are.

Not to mention there isn't enough resources in the world for everyone to change to EV's. They will remain a woke person's dream.

@@savagegfry All part of the successful Globalist Plan, the United Nations Climate Change “scam” Darling "Chris Bowen" wakes up to a perfect world, "Save the Planet, ban all petroleum products" Poor Chris Bowen. Life without petroleum and petroleum-based products. One crisp winter morning in Australia the UNs darling named Chris Bowen woke up to a perfect world, one where no petroleum products were ruining the earth. He tossed aside his cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks. “What’s this?” he asked. “Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother. “What happened to the carpet?” Chris asked. “The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response. Chris Bowen smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush his teeth where instead of a toothbrush, he found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles. “Your old toothbrush?” noted his godmother, “Also nylon.” “Where’s the water?” asked Chris Bowen “Down the road in the canal,” replied his godmother, just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it.” “Why’s there no running water?” Chris Bowen asked, becoming a little peevish. “Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?” There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Australias energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . . “What’s for breakfast?” interjected Chris Bowen, whose head was hurting. "Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied his godmother. “Raw.” “How so, raw?” inquired Chris Bowen. “Well, . . .” Once again, Chris Bowen was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Australia anymore. “But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Chris Bowen. “Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.” “What!” interjected Chris Bowen “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.” “Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Australian fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing - being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.” This represents only a fraction of Chris Bowen's day, a day without microphones to exclaim into a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fibre boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet. Tune in tomorrow when Chris Bowen needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.

I’m still waiting for someone to work out that Paul Murray is annoyed at the fact that someone pinched the batteries for his slot car set and now he can’t have a shave with his battery operated razor or clean his teeth with his battery operated toothbrush!

Careerist politicians! Policy is made on political consideration rather than the good of the country. The ALP features second and third raters, who are at the beck and call of their union masters. None of them could run a school tuck shop efficiently.

​@@ShaneMcGrath.Electric scooters have been the source of devastating house fires because of the batteries exploding.

Does Bowen actually have a brain or is he just another AI programmed by another AI.

Doubt it, he can't do anything other than be a dork!!!

Bowen is incompetent.

no that's why he uses commonwealth cars to drive him around,

He's lucky that there is no intelligence test involved in getting a driving licence, but so are a lot of other morons on our roads. It's a pity that there's no intelligence test for members of Parliament.

There is a few companies giving up on them because they can't sell them.

they’re salty because they were early owners of Tesla and sold their shares for peanuts

Toyota have NOT given up, last month they announced they wanted 30 different EV models by 20230. You people love spreading lies.

Toyota didnt start making EV's quick enough, now they will be disrupted and loose market share, maybe not immediately in Australia but it's already happened in China... most Japanese car manufacturers will fail or be bought out by China.... this is the reality, you guys can choose to believe it or not....

Bowen is living Proof mothers shouldn't drink alcohol when pregnant

When Chris was born, the doctor slapped his mother. Chris was already crying...

But yours loved Chris last night. _Alllll_ night.

Yep but when you charge at home over night, it’s 8x cheaper than charging at superchargers. If your daily drive is less than the batteries capacity, so you charge at home almost all the time like I do. It saves you a crap load. $5 per 400kms is what I pay in nsw to run my model y. I just put up with the extra time to charge on long trips as the rest of the time it works in my favour. Also no services to budget for.

If EV battery replaced eg for $16K every 8 years life cycle... That means just the new EV battery in car loses $40 value per week for 8 years ? Plus car depreciation on top. So an 8 year old 2nd hand EV needs a $16k + investment to keep it viable.. At current rates. Probably be $32 k by then..A new 12 volt car battery loses 40 cents per week in value over 8 years. Hope China will keep supplying the $32k units by then.

Electric vehicles preceded internal combustion engine cars. They went largely obsolete due to problems with the battery. The battery remains a big heavy costly problem.

I believe the last election had a “Huge” increase in PHON voters… unfortunately our biased “preferential voting” system meant votes went back to the parties people never intended! Australians need more education to vote “below the line”… to stop these either of these parties being “elected by default”!!

Vote for the fringe extremist racist Climate Change denier One Nation? No thanks.

@@lukeclifton4392 Sadly the previous election favoured the greens in the independent race as there are a lot of misguided voters out there who are incapable of making an informed decision instead allowing mainstream media do all the thinking for them. Craig Kelly now on board with One Nation could potentially reign in a lot of votes.

Absolutely agree 100% 👍👍

One Nation does not collude with the Climate Delusion, the Energy Transition Delusion nor the Aboriginal Nation Delusion. Voting should be regarded as a privilege and be restricted to qualified taxpayers.

those times have long passed.

Until you can plug them straight into a power point and charge enough for 3 or 4 hundred kms in as many minutes, they won't even get a look in, except for teals and greens

If a EV has a distance of say 400 k's , it has to be realised that in the regions you have at most 200k before you have to return to point of origin to recharge .

@@slimlinebond exactly, might work in cities or the suburbs. No good for the bush, might be 800km round trip to town

@@maxfish4770 I've worked on cattle stations where an EV wouldn't get you to the end of the driveway let alone get you into the nearest town , also you limit their distance even more when you need to carry or tow or both which is the norm because of the distances travelled . Time to cut fuel excise as it cost's a road train last time I looked $20,000 in fuel Adelaide to Darwin one way , and that's just one example . Thankyou for reply by the way much appreciated .

Longreach to Rockhampton - 686km. Brisbane to Sydney - 917km Brisbane to Bundaberg - 372km Sydney to Melbourne - 876km Rockhampton to Biloela - 143.6 km Brisbane to Miles - 339km Brisbane to Roma - 481km Brisbane to Townsville - 1,359km Furthest a current EV can get you with just a driver, good conditions and no excess luggage: $112,475 will get you a Lucid Air Grand Touring that will cover 830km. Charging will only take you 5 hours 39 minutes. $76,630 nets you a Tesla Model S, giving 651.784 km. 7 hours charging, unless there's a fast charger then you can go from 10% to 80% in half an hour. and the list goes on. And these are apparently the best on offer at the moment. Oh the joy.

If Bowen was a budgie in his last life Tony Abbott musy have smuggled him in, those budgie smugglers

He wasn't smart enough.

Actually, he was an amoeba🥳

A hen. 😅

He was a cockroach that got the bug spray. Now he's trying to get revenge.

You don't know if he did or not, because the Libs had banned media reporting on it.

And soon to be, Can't park them in shopping centres underground/undercover car parks!

GST is not on every litre of fuel it is 10 percent of the total cost , which you can also claim for if you are running a sole trader business via your taxes which most tradesmen are eligible for.

@@iamasmurf1122 GST is calculated on your purchase whether it is one litre or many. Ordinary people, the majority of purchasers, are not entitled to claim back the GST through three monthly Bas statements. So not only do the govt get the petrol excise but they also collect the GST - it's a lot of $$$'s for them

you'll only need to drive for 15 minutes across your 15 min city not all over the state.

They will give you a diesel generator to tow to keep the EV charged😅

And Bowen is personally writing cheques that his own ass can't cash. The retard is going down on a social level. We'll read about his suicide in his o'bitch'uary.

The EVs are much more expensive and suffer from much higher depreciation. This negates any savings on fuel.

They _have_ cut immigration. The decision on that large surge was reversed.

​@@johngeier8692bull 💩

We're better off with a free market system that looks after itself and values and maintains personal choice without restriction.

It's not the cold weather that you really need to worry about in this country. How about driving on a 35⁰+ day and trying to run an air conditioner? Modern vehicles have way too much glass to be driveable without a/c on any but the mildest days. Also, at what outside temperature are the batteries likely to go into thermal runaway? The probability may be low but it's certainly not zero.

No good, Most don't understand where their vote is actually going. Preferential voting system needs to be scrapped.

No, we didn't vote labor. People voted for Teals and greens who turned around and gave their preference vote to labor. Allowing them to get enough to form government. Labor actually got their worst recorded vote in their history. Only 32% of the national vote. We need transparency on who a party intends to give their preference votes to.

Agree 100%, Been trying to tell people this for years, Preferential voting system is garbage.

@@rogermckinnon5738 "turned around"? What does that mean? They offered preferences to the Libs if some policy requests were met. They weren't. It's what parties do- negotiate.
