Today’s @TheNewDailyAu column on the floods. It’s simple: the more money the government spends, the more insurance will be available and the less it will cost. The less it spends, the more towns will have to be abandoned.

Since reading #Superpower a couple of years back, I’ve always thought we had the opportunity to become the new “UAE of energy generation”. Instead of oil, we produce renewable power. And it’s not a transition, it’s a disruption. It’ll be here this decade.
Totally bizarre that neither PM sought to make more mileage out of this but the British company Octopus Group just announced a $50 billion partnership with Indigenous communities in northern Australia to create a massive renewable energy greenfield.
