China’s clean‑tech dominance now key to global energy security - arguably more than ME oil! If we want solar, wind, batteries or EVs at scale and at low cost, we need supply from China An Australian energy agenda must accelerate electrification and reduce fossil‑fuel dependence

Apple engineer John Worthington: There were people inside the company who said, “No one’s ever going to listen to music or watch videos on a computer. Ever.” A dozen people at #Apple changed that. This is their story. tinyurl.com/34pb73kw

ATO drops the mic: employers can now pay you 4.20c per km for home EV charging. No electricity bills. No separate meter. No excuses. 20,000 km/year = $840 straight into your pay, tax-free. Fleet managers still handing out diesel Rangers in 2025 should be forced to read this on repeat
