None of this is about developing nuclear electricity generation.
None of this is about reducing our electricity bills.
All of this is about extending the profitability of the fossil fuel industry by delaying renewable generation.
It’s cynical, self serving and corrupt.

Amid global trade uncertainty, the PM has shifted his language on the US alliance
As Australia tries to find its path through the uncertainty flowing out of Washington, it is important to understand that Donald Trump is not the only issue — or player — to be dealt with.

Watch as this LAPD cop takes deliberate aim at an Australian reporter, then shoots her at close range. I would fire the police chief over this. Inexcusable thuggery.

I am having a very surreal moment, reading a case study called "GEELY VERSUS FORD: THREAT FROM AN EMERGING MARKET MULTINATIONAL TO A MARKET LEADER."
Which was published in 2021, I saved it in 2022.
TL;DR - China had a long-term strategy which included building strong relationships with Europe.
