Peter FitzSimons I find it informative and a useful quick summary. I'm not quite in the target demographic, being about 60 years too old...

I shall do my best, Don!

There certainly are - and never more than now, which is to the good - but who were the famous ones in the 80s and 90s, that I am missing? Tks

Professor, does Hydrogen have application in large industry, yes? Is that the major hope?

Was that not the 60s, in the Windies, or am I mixed up?

Tks, Jeff.

I make no comment on the current crop's ability.
My observation is that they are no longer iconic in the public mind the way they were.

Les Murray?
Gordon Bray?

Angus Taylor:
'Lots of people throw numbers around.'
One of the numbers the Libs throw around is an extra TRILLION dollars to build transmission lines to the new renewable energy networks.
The expert I consulted put it at $12 billion.

Plenty of wonderful commentators now.
That is not the point of interest.
It is that they are no longer household names the way Cometti, McGilvray, Bray and Benaud were.
