Did I just invent a new phrase?
I did a Google Search for “Political Triage” and I found something. I am not sure what it is talking about.
So!... This is mine. Political Triage.
It is also called tossing under the bus for politics. And the greater good (the greater good). I came up with the phrase watching the energy debate over the last few weeks – then for 20 minutes in my garage.
I need to tell the story.
A journalist on my driveway described March 16 2017 as one of the hottest political press conferences in 30 years. Big call, but what happened in my garage today was amazing.
Today was a press announcement for a feel-good story about AGL and their Virtual Power Plant.
“Today we begin and new phase in domestic power…” you know the kind of thing.
​I have the very first of AGL’s batteries for the Virtual Power Plant. And I like to talk. So let’s talk about it in my garage.
Let’s get a few VIPs! And we did.
Andy Vesey is the big boss of AGL and he is a great guy. I was very impressed with his attitude and commitment to the energy sector.
Elisabeth Brinton is AGLs New Energy person and this is sure enough new energy in my shed.
Philip Keogan is from Sunverge who made my battery.
So we had VIPs from industry. We also had people from the regulators.
