Atkinsons seat is one of the safest around - G4C's vote isn't actually half bad, they beat a large amount of minor parties and independents in the legaslative council.
Correct - public level consultation won't change anything.
The commonwealth still needs to get the unanimous approval of all states and territories and Atkinson has already started that he will never support the introduction of an R18+ classification.
He's made it an election promise and unfortunately it's almost certain that he will be re-elected (The seat of croydon is overwhelming in it's support for labor).

See the wikipedia solar energy" article and check out the insolation maps.
It varies a great deal depending on where in the world you are, but a large proportion of the worlds population falls into the "red" or "white" areas - between 180 and 300 watts per square meter.
It's really beside the point though - there are large quantities of unused land that could be turned into solar power farms. Space is hardly the primary concern.
Hopefully everyone knows about the up-coming movie Bubba Ho-tep (Bruce - playing Elvis playing an Elvis impersonator vs a 2000 yr old mummy in an old folks home).
1. What can we expect after Bubba Ho-tep? Time for a break, or is there another movie lined up?
2. When are we going to see you in Australia damnit?:P (specifically - Adelaide, South Australia)

To be fair they always had an uphill battle.

To put it mildly, what absolute wankers.
As a guy running an ISP, doing tech support etc. the mind boggles about how much stuff this will break.
Expect to see huge traffic increases/slow speed of access as soon as these updates filter through everywhere.
Some of these are entertaining, but nothing compared to the laughs you'll get from the good old days of quake movies.
Check out the: History of Quake movies
Then procede to download and be amused by:
The original and the best: Operation Bayshield!
And another hugely entertaining classic: Blahbalicious
