‘Completely unacceptable': Albanese govt ‘not prepared' to discuss with Australians the threat of regional conflict with China
The Coalition has said the Albanese government is "not prepared to have an upfront discussion" about the threats to our country, which were spelled out in a recent Sky News special event. Last week, Sky News aired the special event 'The War Cabinet' comprising of a panel of defence experts who warned a conflict looms in the Indo-Pacific region. During the discussion, former Labor Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon, who served in the first Rudd government, said Australia's strategic outlook in the Indo-Pacific region was 'deteriorating rather markedly' and that the warning time of an attack is much shorter. Additionally, CyberCX executive director Katherine Mansted said while Australia was not at war, 'we're certainly not at peace' and the Australian public had a 'huge stake' in defending its sovereignty. 'Chinese military cyber spies are actively probing our civilian critical infrastructure, looking for weaknesses and looking for ways to get in and hide and bide, potentially for high-impact sabotage, if relations deteriorate in the region,' she said. Speaking to Sky News on Wednesday, Shadow Defence Minister Angus Taylor said despite the clear warnings, the Albanese government was 'not prepared' to talk about a conflict with China. 'They're not prepared to have an upfront discussion with the Australian people about the risk of domination of the Indo-Pacific by the Chinese Communist Party,' he told Sky News host Chris Kenny. 'I mean live-fire exercises off the south coast of New South Wales and the government has nothing serious to say about it.' Mr Taylor said Australia had 'no choice' but to increase its defence spending from two to three per cent of GDP to ensure the Australian Defence Force (ADF) was prepared and capable to defend the nation. 'I know this is difficult at a time like this to find that money but we have no choice,' he said. 'We need to have an Australian Defence Force that is prepared, that is agile, that has the people it needs, that has this sovereign manufacturing capability it needs – missile manufacturing, drone and counter-drone manufacturing – the emerging technologies that we are seeing are playing such a critical role in conflicts around the world. 'The objective here of course is peace.' Mr Taylor said Australia must also have a 'strong alliance' and admonished the Prime Minister for not having had a meeting with President Donald Trump. 'That's completely unacceptable,' he said.

‘Black coal wins': CSIRO report reveals the cheapest form of power
Centre for Independent Studies Senior Policy Analyst Zoe Hilton says the CSIRO's new GenCost report clearly shows that black coal is the 'cheapest new build generation technology'. 'It's very clear that black coal wins; it is cheaper than all of the 60, 70, 80, 90 per cent variable renewable energy shares,' Ms Hilton told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. 'When you look at the midpoints of those ranges as well, coal is cheaper than 90 per cent wind and solar when it is integrated into the grid. 'That's very important because 90 per cent wind and solar is what we are building.'
