China is now the leading clean energy powerhouse with the West falling behind.
The transition is inevitable; the key question is where and how fast it happens.
I look forward to discussing this in Davos next week at the World Economic Forum, facilitating a live-streamed session on electrostates.

Australia must reject any US pressure to pledge support for any military action against China which would be motivated by US economic imperatives even more than security.

Getting government away from delivering services creates the possibility of stacking government with incompetent loyalists.
Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.

That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

Bogus charges of antisemitism are the new McCarthyism
The word antisemitism has become so debased that depending on who is using it, I might well take it as a sign that the accused is worth listening to.

It is hard to see what or who is going to stop this carnage. The UN seems impotent and Europe unwilling. The US is so far down the rabbit hole nothing good can be expected from them.
The Israeli government is depraved. It's deliberately starving and murdering children. The world, and Australia, must make a stronger stand with sanctions. The people of Australia demand it.
UN secretary-general says Israel’s war on Gaza is intensifying ‘with atrocious levels of death and destruction’.

It's a disgrace. Also the bill contains a clause disallowing Courts from challenging unconstitutional actions by the President.
Look at the take for the top 0.1% (those making above $4.3M/yr).
Then look at the take for the rest of Americans.
This bill is a heist.

Today's data shows some of the expected softening in the labour market, but unemployment is still really low at 4.1 per cent.
Under Labor, unemployment is low, inflation is down, real wages are rising again, interest rates have started to come down and growth is rebounding solidly. #auspol #ausecon
