The devastating Russian invasion of Ukraine has captured global attention. While the world’s focus is rightly on the human toll and suffering, the crisis has highlighted the need to end reliance on Russian oil and gas. To achieve that ambition, we must be pragmatic and invest in sensible alternatives, not engage in wishful thinking about renewable energy.

The development of the Hardey project was originally estimated at $7.4 billion (A$10.3 billion), but the cost will likely dwindle as the developers have agreed to use the Roy Hill railway, port and other infrastructure for exports, removing the need to build new rail lines and ports.
Gina Rinehart: Foreign investors should be limited to minority stakes in farmland to protect national interest
Gina Rinehart believes foreign ownership of Australian farmland should be capped at a maximum of 49 per cent to protect against breakdowns in international relations. Ms Rinehart, Australia’s richest person with major stakes in mining and agriculture, said that while she was “very much pro foreign ownership” her support came with a major caveat. “The proviso is that the majority ownership is Australian and that the management is Australian,” she told 6PR Radio.
