    Supermarket Senate Hearing: How did Woolworths’ Brad Banducci hold up under questioning?

    The greens senator was focusing on ROI but that is a measure that is affected by the daily share price that the greens are trying to trash. The ROI for RIO and BHP is much higher again at over 30 but the senator did not want to see that. The ROI is relatively meaningless. I did get a credit in a...

    'Genius' car park feature divides Aussie drivers: 'Absolutely elite parking experience here!'

    Just one improvement would be to put the elite obese cars in a separate area. Also, if I drive into a car spot and there is one facing me that is empty, I just drive forward to that spot to enable me to drive out rather than reverse. So much easier that I look for these pairs.

    Imagine the outcry if factories killed as many people as wood heaters

    Fake news! In Victoria any factory flue that emits to the atmosphere is registered with the EPA and is also just another taxable item. Inspections can be carried out by authorities.

    Power outage causes supermarkets to dump a staggering amount of fresh produce: 'Such a shame to see this much going to waste'

    An undisciplined over reaction. Chest freezers hold their cool for a longer time. If a frozen product is no longer frozen, is that not the same as defrosting it before cooking? There are many charities with cooking facilities that could have promptly cooked up defrosted foods. This all makes...

    Are your energy bills about to change? Here’s the inside scoop on the government's new gas deal with industry giants!

    The overseas customers of the gas paid upfront for the tens of billions of infrastructure. Nobody in Australia wanted to stump up for it. That gives them some entitlement to buy the gas.

    Why electric trucks are our best bet to cut road transport emissions

    What plants do not need CO2 for photosynthesis? Even seaweeds thrive on CO2 and live near the top of the oceans. Just read Plimer for a start.

    Why electric trucks are our best bet to cut road transport emissions

    Net Zero is a myth. The CO2 emissions from fossil fuels feed plants through photosynthesis. NASA reports current strong global foliage growth. As we get closer to net zero, we get closer to famine and poor agricultural productivity. There is ample research and data to explain this. Start with...
