The mystery at the heart of young Australians joining the far-right

Image
When it comes to the dangers of online recruitment into the extreme far-right movement, the narrative is a sadly familiar one. Young people are exposed online to "ironic", reaction-baiting memes featuring coded anti-Semitism, racism and white supremacy. A piece in The Atlantic earlier this year, for example, showed how neo-Nazis had infiltrated the majority-male "brony" fandom of the My Little Pony cartoon.

Australia's Karoon soars after striking new oil field deal terms

Image
Australian oil and gas explorer Karoon Energy has renegotiated the terms of a deal worth nearly $1 billion to acquire an oil field off the coast of Brazil due to the coronavirus crisis and global oil price crash. Karoon last year sealed a deal to buy the shallow-water Bauna field for $US665 million ($935 million) from Brazilian state-owned Petrobras, marking the Melbourne-headquartered company's first move into oil production. But following negotiations this year, the company said it would now pay an initial $US380 million consisting of a $US50 million downpayment already made, an upfront payment of $US150 million and the remainder payable in the following 18 months.

Australia's childcare centres struggle to pay up to $9,000 for Covid-19 cleaning

Image
The not-for-profit early childcare education sector is struggling to pay up to $9,000 for deep cleaning each time a Covid-19 case is identified, while federal government transition payments may not be enough to keep the sector afloat as parents pull their children out of the system. The United Workers Union’s director for early childhood education, Helen Gibbons, said the one-size-fits-all approach towards the early childcare sector needed a rethink or the community risked losing not-for-profit childcare centres, which comprise just under half of the sector.

COVID-19 pandemic and border closures: Why Australians are banned from international travel

Image
The government has us locked in, but is that right – or even legal? Remember the words at the end of the Eagles' Hotel California? "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave". Feels a bit like Australia at the moment. As part of its response to the pandemic, the Australian government has made it tough for its citizens and permanent residents to leave. Not only are all incoming travellers required to enter hotel quarantine for 14 days, (with a possible exception if you happen to be a media mogul returning from Aspen in your private jet, or Dannii Minogue), the government has clamped down on your right to travel overseas.

Australia wants to attract ‘seriously talented’ people leaving Hong Kong, minister says

Image
Australia is “specifically targeting” students and highly talented individuals from Hong Kong who will be able to contribute to its economy, a minister told CNBC this week. Canberra announced last week that it would be offering help to people wanting to move out of Hong Kong after the implementation of the new national security law on June 30. Australia’s decision followed that of Taiwan and the United Kingdom, which also offered help to Hong Kongers looking to resettle elsewhere.

COMMENT: AUSTRALIA’S FIGHTERS MUST NOW BATTLE ‘TYRANNY OF DISTANCE’

Image
The isolation of Australia provides both defensive advantages and disadvantages – this ‘tyranny of distance’ is emerging as key concern for projecting Australian air power in significant quantities in a contested environment. Throughout history, military operations have favoured those who occupy the high ground. Command of the skies empowers both offensive and defensive operations, while also providing powerful deterrence options as part of the broader implementation of power projection and national security doctrines.

"Australia's last chance": BZE publishes renewables powered Million Jobs Report

Image
Australian think-tank Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE), perhaps most notable for its prescience regarding the renewable energy potential of the Northern Territory, has released what could be its most prudent and timely publication yet, its Million Jobs Plan. The publication is timely because Australia is at a crossroads, and of all countries, Australia needs to be particularly prudent at a crossroads because our roads are so very long. We might not have time to double-back. In reality, Australia has been at this crossroads for at least a decade, evidenced by the seemingly indefinite imbroglio that has been the political climate wars. But the Covid-19 pandemic and the resultant necessity of a planned economic recovery means that Australia needs to make a decision about which road it is going to take.

Australian shipbuilder pushes back against reports of frigate design concerns

Image
MELBOURNE, Australia — The builder of the Royal Australian Navy’s new Hunter-class frigates has told Defense News that the ship’s design remains “within agreed weight and space envelopes,” despite a recent report in Australian media claiming recent changes have caused concern. ASC Shipbuilding was responding to a June 26 story in the Australian Financial Review that said growth in the ship design’s weight and length is “sparking concerns.” But ASC Shipbuilding Managing Director Craig Lockhart said Thursday the company remained confident in its ability to meet Australia’s capability requirements and specifications.
