The Grattan report ‘Keeping the lights on’ is worth a read

Enroute to Melbourne today for the EUAA National Conference starting tomorrow, I grabbed some flight time to have a quick read through the Grattan Institute’s latest offering – a 45-page report appropriately titled ‘Keeping the Lights on’:

Quite topical that the report was released on Sunday 28th April 2024, just prior to the Guardian’s article speculating about a possible (longer than expected?) extension to Eraring.

I’ve scribbled some notes during reading of the Grattan report (which might get transcribed later in some form … time permitting) and, whilst I’m not agreeing with everything in the report:

1)   it is well written and easy to read

2)  there’s a multi-faceted explanation of how we’ve navigated to the mess that we’re in; and

3)  some suggestions for what to do next that are a thought-provoking read.
