. @AlboMP right on the money on climate change in this interview. The Green Party as much responsible as the Coalition in preventing Australia from having a carbon price for the last ten years. They should hang their heads in shame.
Anthony Albanese@AlboMP
If the Greens had voted for the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme in 2009, we would have avoided the decade of wars on climate and energy policy.

Both the physical impact of #climatechange and the transition are likely to have first-order #economics effects. Very interesting read from the #RBA Deputy Gov.

“Droughts have generally been regarded (at least economically) as cyclical events that recur every so often. In contrast, climate change is a trend change. The impact of a trend is ongoing, whereas a cycle is temporary.” thoughtful speech by RBA Governor rba.gov.au/speeches/2019/…

@MarisePayne @LowyInstitute @mfullilove @AusAmbCyber @CyberGovAU @DeptDefence @dfat @MikePBurgess @macgibbon @TFeakin Perhaps a rethink of the Huawei rejection? Australia needs to innovate and without the best 5G that's not going to happen. Broadband is woefully lacking.

I’m yet to read any coverage of China’s “greater Bay” development plan linking Hong Kong with southern China announced today that contains any real “ detail”. uk.reuters.com/article/uk-chi…

It was Mark Twain who said “Only fiction has to be credible.” But the @australian satirists outdid Orwell with their editorial today headed “Turnbull moderates blow up a centrist government” A centrist government was blown up; in August and it wasn’t done by moderates.
