I thought the same when I first saw it. Was probably written that way intentionally to garner more clicks.

Southern hemisphere, renewable energy superpower...maybe?

Albanese moves to capitalise on Trump's plan to slash green energy investment (www.abc.net.au)
 

  • In short: Anthony Albanese will seek to exploit Donald Trump's pledge to slash investment in the United States' clean energy industries.

  • The prime minister is using meetings in South America to pitch Australia as a safe and reliable trading partner in the hope it could lure billions that otherwise would have been invested in the US.

  • Mr Albanese will also seek to meet with China's president during his visits to Peru and Brazil.

This could be used to market EVs, "they can even cook your dinner!"

Did you lose power because of the weather?

Ultimately, fear won out over actual solid policies, that had an actual benefit to our way of life.

Media should be held more accountable for this BS (constantly going on about crime), but fat chance that will ever happen.

LNP wins the Queensland election after nearly a decade in opposition but it wasn't the emphatic victory predicted in c/[email protected]

Disappointed.

The only solid policy the LNP came to the election with, was that they were going to scrap the mining royalty tax. Okay then, what is their plan to replace that revenue...crickets.

Say goodbye to the progressive state we had, cause everything is going to sold off, sacked, and ripped to pieces.

Antony Green says the LNP can reach majority

Not something I wanted to read, though fortunately maybe, it wasn't the landslide victory that was originally projected.

  • In short: Two Russian-born Australians have been charged with spying offences, the first time the new laws have been used.

  • The couple allegedly conspired to send sensitive Australian Defence Force material to Russian authorities.

  • What's next? Police say further spying charges could be laid as Operation BURGAZADA continues.
