'Very impressed': Elon Musk speaks to SA premier Jay Weatherill

1. S.A. takes on Federal Government on Energy

Following hard on the heels of his earlier announcements regarding building up S.A.'s renewable energy capacity, Premier Jay Weatherill followed up by going toe-to-toe with Federal Energy & Environment Minister Josh Frydenburg yesterday:

The MSM hate it, of course, but generally, the public is on Mr Weatherill's side - we're not all stupid and can see the effects of environmental changes around us every day. And both the Abbott and Turnbull governments have cut funding to every scientific and environmental body they've ever heard of.

And it's worth mentioning that Mr Weatherill faces an election next year, one which he was expected to lose to the Libs. Labor has been in power in S.A. for 14 years, and maybe, just maybe, that could be extended.

(And I love the looks on the faces of the two men at the back.)
