The Australian Bar Association Council has shut down its Diversity & Inclusion Committee, presumably because the problem has been fixed. Isn't that nice.

One way to protect yourself from soaring gas prices is to electrify whatever you’re using the gas for. I’ve disconnected my gas meter. So no daily charge to pay. My little induction stove is saving a fortune and keeping my air pollution free.
Now also using heat pump instead of gas.
Soaring gas power generation prices prompts energy regulator to suggest changes to reliability standard to protect consumers from rising costs.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Australia Institute research shows that Australia is expanding gas and coal, with 94 new fossil fuel projects in the pipeline.

We need stronger environmental laws that stop new coal and gas projects.

In 1990, 943 million Chinese people there lived on less than $3 a day measured in 2021 dollars – 83% of the population, according to the World Bank. By 2019, the number was brought down to zero

Unfortunately, the United States was not as successful.
China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice
Despite the US’s economic success, income inequality remains breathtaking. But this is no glitch – it’s the system
