Documents uncovered through a Freedom of Information request have revealed that the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) declined to give the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water (DCEEW) information about the cost of the carbon budgets imposed on the Integrated System Plan (ISP).

 AEMO acknowledged the calculations had been done as part of the modelling undertaken for the ISP, but concluded AEMO “is not at liberty to share this information”.

Luke Grant chats with the Director of Energy at the Centre of Independent Studies, Aidan Morrison, to find out exactly what Chris Bowen’s department has been told about the cost of Renewable Energy in the Integrated Systems Report.

Sydneysiders will have a new way to get to Europe by the end of the year, with a new airline flying directly from the city to tourist hotspots for the first time.

Turkish Airlines will fly from Sydney to Istanbul four times a week via Kuala Lumpur from December 5.

Turkey is considered one of Europe’s hidden gems: full of history, breathtaking landscapes, and a culture encompassing the best elements of the east and west. 

Bill Woods chats with journalist, travel writer and host of ‘The World Awaits Podcast’, Belinda Jackson about why Turkey is an unbeatable holiday destination.

Australian rock lobster fishermen are growing increasingly frustrated and uncertain about lingering Chinese government trade restrictions, months after the federal government declared they were “very confident” the restrictions were on the brink of ending. 

In late 2020, China's customs agency blocked live rock lobsters from Australia – citing excessive levels of a heavy metal — as part of a wide-ranging campaign of trade coercion against the Morrison government.

The move crippled the crayfish industry, with Chinese exports accounting for 90% of its revenue. 

Beijing has since lifted the vast majority of those trade barriers, including hefty tariffs on barley and Australian wine, as Jim Chalmers is scheduled to become the first Australian treasurer to visit China in seven years.

Bill Woods chats with China Trade Expert, Andrew Phelan, formerly of DFAT to find out why the industry is so reliant on Chinese exports and why we aren’t able to replicate the revenue domestically?
