Macca shoulder to shoulder with Tony Abbott as PM signals end for RET

  Last Wednesday, Action Man Abbott fronted the Canberra press gallery and delivered a speech that signals the end of Australia’s insanely expensive (and completely pointless) Renewable Energy Target (RET).

Miners dig in to help scrap the RET

In 1964, a nit-picking academic called Donald Horne tagged Australia the “Lucky Country” - and he did not mean it as a compliment. Australia is lucky, but so what? It rode on the sheep’s back for more than a century as the world’s largest producer of fine apparel wool. It’s seen one or two golden … Continue reading Miners dig in to help scrap the RET
