Now Japan? ? The Japanese government is moving ahead with its plans to build up to 45 new coal fired power stations. Media player: "Space" to play, "M" to mute, "left" and "right" to seek. Audio: Japan plans 45 new high-energy, low-emissions HELE coal fired power plants. (ABC News) The power plants will utilise high energy, low emissions (HELE) technology that use high-quality black coal. Japan is the largest overseas market for Australian coal producers, taking more than a third of all exports. www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-31/japan-coal-power-plants/8224302?pfmredir=sm

That might keep the lights on in South Australia and Alcoa operating in Victoria,

We've got more than enough crows to go round. South Australians are even known as "crow eaters" ..... there is hope. What Aussies call other AussiesWe are known to use other nouns too.

Or, could it just be that Labor's "forward looking green energy policies" are a fool's errand, doomed to fail, and SA is experiencing that result already?

In NSW even carrying a swiss army knife is now an offense Are you serious? Or just being light hearted? There is wiggle room but carrying a blade of any sort is illegal here without reasonable excuse. Laser pointer restrictions are similar. Your attitude to the police at the time would probably be critical. 11C Custody of knife in public place or school (1) A person must not, without reasonable excuse (proof of which lies on the person), have in his or her custody a knife in a public place or a school. Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units or imprisonment for 2 years, or both. (2) Without limitation, it is a reasonable excuse for the purposes of this section for a person to have custody of a knife, if: (a) the custody is reasonably necessary in all the circumstances for any of the following: (i) the lawful pursuit of the person’s occupation, education or training, (ii) the preparation or consumption of food or drink, (iii) participation in a lawful entertainment, recreation or sport, (iv) the exhibition of knives for retail or other trade purposes, (v) an organised exhibition by knife collectors, (vi) the wearing of an official uniform, (vii) genuine religious purposes, or (b) the custody is reasonably necessary in all the circumstances during travel to or from or incidental to an activity referred to in paragraph (a), or (c) the custody is of a kind prescribed by the regulations. (3) However, it is not a reasonable excuse for the purposes of this section for a person to have custody of a knife solely for the purpose of self defence or the defence of another person. (4), (5) (Repealed) (6) The regulations may provide that this section does not apply to or in relation to any specified class or description of knife.
