We get a bit further on this morning and we discover that Hawkey’s gone completely nuts. First there’s the complete confection that Government have been jacking up the tax take: “The deteriorating budget bottom line has to be addressed because governments can’t just keep pushing up taxes”, he said. But then, Pangea lives: “Mr Hawke’s principal remedy for budget repair is for Australia to become a depository for the disposal of nuclear waste. His “mission” in 2015 is to convince the Coalition and Labor to support this idea. Joe Hockey had given it “a positive reaction”. “We have to take the world’s nuclear waste,” Mr Hawke said. “It will totally transform the fiscal situation. A significant part of dealing with climate change is increased use of nuclear power. The limiting factor is the disposal of nuclear waste. Australia has the safest remote geological sites in the world for the storage of nuclear waste.” Happy New Year. What next?
