We do not merely study the past we inherit it, and inheritance brings with it not only the rights of ownership, but the duties of trusteeship.

We must protect this earth and all who inhabit her.

Exclusive: Kazakhstan's oil output falls after Ukraine drone attack on major terminal
Oil output in Kazakhstan declined by around 6% in December, led by a fall at the vast Chevron-led Tengiz oilfield after a Ukrainian drone attack damaged Russia's Black Sea exporting terminal, an industry source said on Monday.

2025 comes to an end.

It’s been a strong year for deployment and innovation, but a worrying one for energy politics.

Moves like the US pause on offshore wind show how quickly progress can be undermined by polarised debate.

Here’s hoping 2026 brings calmer, more evidence-based energy policymaking.

Just got a 2025 wrap up email from St John

These are just NSW numbers

If you're ever at an event and St John is providing First Aid, know:

- Unlike other First Aid companies, St John peeps are volunteers

- They're highly skilled

- Saying 'thank you' to them means A LOT

🚫 Criticizing Israel ≠ anti-Semitism.

Most Jews have never even been to Israel.
You can’t make Israel speak for all Jews
and you can’t hold Jews accountable for what Israel does.

The real danger?
Letting Israel redefine anti-Semitism to silence truth.

We have one ultimate goal: peace for Ukraine through strength.

And covering Ukraine’s financial needs for 2026-27 is essential for that.

Two proposals are on the table.
