How battery-powered homes are unplugging Australia
Australia, with the highest rate of residential solar penetration in the world, as well as a large number of communities and industry sitting off the grid, is an ideal laboratory and test market for storage technology. Already, Australian companies are reaping the benefits, exporting off-grid renewable energy, storage and control systems internationally.
The man who oversaw teenagers being injected with unknown substances has been sacked, after overseeing a shocking 112-point loss on Saturday.
“What has taken place at this footy club is simply not acceptable. It’s dangerous for the players’ health, it brings the competition into disrepute, and it sets a terrible example to the wider community. That’s why we’ve taken urgent steps to make sure we never get thumped by twenty goals again,” a spokesperson for the Essendon Football Club said this afternoon.
He said the long-term effect Saturday’s loss would have on the players is unknown. “We started monitoring players as soon as the final siren sounded on Saturday, and we’ll continue to monitor them going forward. At this stage we don’t know how a loss like this will affect them. Rest assured our players’ health is our number one concern”.
James Hird said he took full responsibility for what had occurred at the club. “When players get exposed to something like this, a 100+ point drubbing, the coach has to take the rap”.
Members of affair site Ashley Madison have been bent over and thoroughly rogered by someone they have never met before and will likely never cross paths with again.
One user said he was surprised by how quickly he got screwed. “I wanted to get f*cked by someone other than my wife. That certainly happened today. It all happened very quickly if I’m honest. I’ve still got my pants around my ankles,” he said.
A spokesperson for Ashley Madison said life is short. “And perhaps a little shorter for some of our members after their spouses see their name associated with our website today.
“As we always say, there’s a certain thrill in being screwed by someone you don’t know. This is one our members will remember for a while”.
Ok, so we shouldn’t be critical of Dyson Heydon. He’s a judge…
The Abbott Government’s gradual destruction of our civil liberties is not something…
A spokesman for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton simply said “no claims of water-boarding had been made to the Government or brought to its attention.”

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has accused her Opposition counterpart Tanya Plibersek of wanting to provide for a “terrorist picnic” in Syria.
Tony Abbott appears to be laying the groundwork for Australia to extend its airstrikes against Islamic State extremists from Iraq into Syria, but Ms Plibersek, said she would rather see an increase in Australia’s humanitarian role.

Royal Commissioner Dyson Heydon has apologised for wearing a Liberal Party cap to the Royal Commission into Union corruption this morning, saying he ‘didn’t realise’ the cap had the Liberal Party logo emblazoned on its front.
“I overlooked the connection between the logo on the cap and the Liberal Party of Australia,” Mr Heydon said in a statement today.
Liberal Party MPs, including Attorney General George Brandis, have come out in support of Mr Heydon, saying there is no suggestion of bias. “It is just a hat. He took it off as soon as he was made aware of it; that should be the end of it,” Mr Brandis said.
Former Speaker Bronwyn Bishop said it was a trivial matter and nothing more than a witch-hunt. “I would often arrive at the Speaker’s chair and accidently start handing out Liberal Party brochures. We’ve all done it! Move on.”
While there is mounting pressure on the Commissioner to resign, Prime Minister Tony Abbott has advised Mr Heydon to let the shitstorm grow for another two or three weeks before finally standing down.
