It was a primary force behind Australia’s inflationary surge, it’s forced businesses either to the wall or to shift offshore, undermined national industry policy and resulted in the loss of countless thousands of jobs. And it all hinged on one disastrous decision in an Adelaide boardroom.

The Environment Minister is about to decide if Woodside's North West Shelf gas expansion gets the green light - and whether to cave in to corporate pressure to weaken environment laws.

We need strong laws - and we need leaders who stand with communities, not corporations.

The Liberals have taken an array of dud climate policies to the electorate over the past 17 years, writes Bernard Keane. Maybe it's time they tried real policies?
The first order of business for the Coalition: Fight a major battle over energy
For nearly two decades, the Liberals have adopted fake climate policies to maintain Coalition unity. In the depths of their post-election despair, there would never be a better time to have a public fight over climate and energy.

The state & Fed govts will be reluctant to declare droughts, as it'll trigger huge relief expenditure from the Budget, but the reality is its already here for many.
THE DROUGHT IN VICTORIA

The farms are beyond struggling.

I'm hearing from family, they've been trucking in water since December. They're on their last bit of feed. They'll have to sell their livestock by next month.
