Why do I sense the notice of intention to hold the neo-Nazi rally was conveniently not provided to the NSW Police Commissioner?

โ€˜Targeted and unlawfulโ€™: Former technical boss to take Football Australia to court Ernie Merrick says he will commence legal proceedings against the national federation within the next fortnight over his acrimonious departure as FAโ€™s chief football officer earlier this year.

18 months ago Merrick and FA were about to unveil a 10-year technical plan that never saw the light of day. Maybe Ernie needs to reflect on that before the court case commences.

I know that the emissions cost of battery manufacturing is higher than weโ€™d like but over the life of the car surely they are a lot better than internal combustion engine vehicles? By the way it was lovely to walk around Oslo and not have to smell petrol and diesel!

How is Norway's Stategy Leading the Country's EV Transition? Norway is leading the EV transition with its 'polluter pays' principle, using tax incentives to make zero-emission cars the more affordable option

10 days in Norway just blew me away.
EVs arenโ€™t the future, they are everywhere. 99% of new cars sold last year were electric. The formula? Polluters pay & EV drivers get rewarded. Turns out when you get the incentives right, change happens rapidly. #netzero #auspol

Australian wholesale electricity prices are falling. So when will power bills stop rising? The cost of generating power is definitely getting cheaper, but the savings may take time to flow through

The higher energy prices can be blamed on energy retailers. The wholesale price is down 27% compared to last year thanks to renewables. #Auspol #Insiders www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump says nuclear weapons testing to resume in US after more than 30 years The testing is necessary to keep pace with weapons programmes in China and Russia, according to Trump.

24 hours after smiling for photos with the new PM of Japan, the only nation thatโ€™s felt the horror of atomic warfare Trump orders the resumption of nuclear weapons testing. Diplomacy with one hand, nuclear brinkmanship & a return to Cold War tensions with the other. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Rio Tinto could invest in a few wind turbines or solar arrays plus batteries if they were really interested in keeping Tomago open at a lower cost.

Sportsbet dines with government minister at Labor fundraiser despite calls to reject lobbying from industry Exclusive: Dinner occurred on the same day that four crossbench MPs held a press conference calling on government to ignore lobbying from gambling industry

No surprise that despite majority community support we still donโ€™t have a ban on gambling advertising when the Albanese government accepts money from companies like Sportsbet for their fundraising.

When will they put Australians ahead of gambling companies?
