What was inflation in October, from the ABS's new 'full monthly' measure? Perhaps the 3.8% headline 12-month number (3.9% seasonally adjusted, whatevs)?
Nope, on trend, seasonally adjusted annualised, it was 4.7%. The headline annual increase is actually the 12-month average centred 6 months ago.

Annual burning is a big part of Central Queensland cattle production, mostly for control of native vegetation regrowth — you pull it down first, with a dozer chain, let it dry, then burn.

Still no Optus service.

ABC Radio National, Lismore has been playing a recording apologising for lack of service for six hours now, and reception webpage still reports no problems.

If, ABC News, "the aim is to provide more timely information on inflation trends", why the absolute fk would you report the data 12-month trailing, so it's automatically, inherently, at least 6 months old? WHY DO THAT?

What a surprise...
"ETH researchers estimate the cost of removing 1 tonne of CO2 from the air in the year 2050 to be between 230 and 540 US dollars. This is twice as high as previous estimates"
"The cost of removing large quantities of CO2 from the air will fall in the medium term, but not as much as previously hoped.
This is the conclusion reached by @ethz.ch researchers on the basis of new calculations. Efforts to reduce carbon emissions should therefore continue at pace"
