The media continues to churn out reams of copy on tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes’ bid to buy Australia’s biggest climate polluter, AGL, and replace its ageing and increasingly unreliable coal fleet with clean energy.
A battle rages over the reportedly large numbers of feral horses in Kosciuszko National Park that are threatening vulnerable native plants and animals.
And a new plan could save Tasmania’s swift parrot from going extinct within a decade.
Inside ‘Project Arise’: Cannon-Brookes’ secret plan to take over AGL
Late last year, as world leaders entered the final stages of negotiations for emissions targets they would make at COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, a small team had formed in Australia plotting what could turn out to be one of the single largest decarbonisation projects the world had yet seen.
The battle for AGL heralds a new dawn for Australian electricity
The early closure of Australia’s largest coal power station and Mike Cannon-Brookes’ bid to buy the country’s largest energy company mark a watershed for Australia’s electricity industry.
The battle over Australia's brumbies intensifies in a clash of culture, colonialism and conservation
Scientists, ecologists and rangers say large numbers of horses in Kosciuszko National Park must be removed quickly to protect vulnerable native plants and animals. Despite clear, consistent and peer-reviewed evidence, a formidable opposition has for years used its political clout to effectively prevent any significant reduction in Kosciuszko's horse numbers.
New plan could save swift parrot from 'imminent danger of extinction', researchers say
A new plan to save the swift parrot from going extinct within a decade could also ensure Tasmania's state-owned forestry organisation is financially viable, researchers say.
