@stephendziedzic Stephen are you implying DFAT folk are discreetly celebrating the fact Australia has missed chance to host biggest ever diplomatic summit? Says a fair bit about need for more imagination in that building …

it would be unseemly to pop corks so the good folk at RG Casey are instead quietly pouring champagne into small (paper) cups underneath their desks abc.net.au/news/2025-11-2…

Vanuatu's Minister for Climate Change Ralph Regenvanu said that the extension of the project is "a slap in the face for Pacific Island countries who have repeatedly called on Australia to stop approving new fossil fuel projects".abc.net.au/pacific/progra…

The Australian govt. just approved a massive new gas project, Barossa, which will be one of the dirtiest sources of gas in the world. The govt. says it’s focused on the energy transition. But there’s no planet where this starts with a new gas project. theguardian.com/australia-news…

I am not sure where the Australian opposition stands on the Paris Agreement. What I am sure about is opposition’s statement that meeting the 43% target is “pure fantasy” is dead wrong. The govts. projections show it is very close to meeting this target theguardian.com/australia-news…

Peter Dutton threatens to take Australia backwards on climate - expanding gas production, weakening emissions targets and abandoning plans to host COP31 with Pacific nations. As I explain here 👇 this would undermine Australian foreign policy in our region theconversation.com/peter-duttons-…

What can you say
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

In his budget reply, Peter Dutton confirmed what Australia Institute research has long shown – the gas export industry hurts Australians. "Australia does not need any new gas projects. We only use a fraction of what we produce," writes @wtmpacific. theconversation.com/dutton-unveils…

Fresh analysis here. A national gas reservation scheme is on the table for Australia's federal election. Gas reservation may be useful - to ensure we meet remaining, dwindling, demand and as signal to trade partners like Japan - but no new gas is needed. theconversation.com/dutton-unveils…

@mfullilove That's where we are. Question is what to do about it. Australia will need to work with other middle powers to reinvigorate multilateral diplomacy and commitment to shared norms of post-WWII order.

If you are looking for an analytical framework to think about what is happening in the US, this piece from Steven Levitsky and Lucan Way is very useful - how a radicalised Republican Party is weaponising the machinery of state against political enemies. foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

The mechanism linking an AMOC slowdown to the Pacific involves a buildup of heat in the tropical Atlantic, atmospheric teleconnections to an accelerated Walker Circulation, loading increased odds of a La Niña event

As we enter the fourth La Niña event in the past 5 years, and with ongoing evidence of an AMOC slowdown, good time to re-up our work exploring how an AMOC shutdown would reorganise our atmosphere…..
The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand@ConversationEDU

The collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation could shift the climate to a more La Niña-like state. New research by @ProfMattEngland, @AndreaTaschetto + @BryamOP (@UNSW) explores the consequences – including "a massive pile up of heat". bit.ly/3NrHJZ4

singletonargus.com.au/story/8835387/… Ralph Regenvanu, who has led the Melanesian country's advocacy, said the stakes could not be higher. "I choose my words carefully when I say that this may well be the most consequential case in the history of humanity," he told the court.

Thrilled to be here in @CIJ_ICJ with @RRegenvanu for #Vanuatu. We worked together on the Chagos case, Vanuatu’s first ever appearance, and now on this: Ralph & @VanuatuUN have led this global initiative for the Advisory Opinion on climate change. A huge achievement 🇻🇺🇺🇳

Was great to talk with @BloombergTV today about Australia's plans to host the UN climate talks with Pacific island nations in 2026 - a key opportunity to accelerate the shift away from fossil fuel production toward clean energy industries of the future. bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…
