'I am so excited': Pauline Hanson says Greens leader Adam Bandt set to lose his Melbourne seat 'best news I've heard'
Senator Pauline Hanson has celebrated after Greens leader Adam Bandt was projected to lose his Melbourne electorate, describing it as "the best news I've heard". Sky News declared on Wednesday afternoon that Labor's candidate Sarah Witty is set to claim the seat in another major win for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Despite there being "plenty" of absentee votes left to count, Chief Election Analyst Tom Connell said the 63 per cent needed for Mr Bandt is "far too high" to reach. It will end the Greens leader's 14-year run in parliament. Speaking to Sky News, Ms Hanson joked she celebrated before appearing for the interview by "dancing around the house in my bra and knickers" and a gin and tonic. "I couldn't help it. I am so excited. That's the best news I've heard," she said. The firebrand politician elaborated further, saying the party has been "hopeless" the last three years and "what comes out of their mouth is so extreme to the left". "They have no qualm about destroying hundreds and thousands of hectares of pristine forest in Australia to put up their wind turbines or covering land with these solar panels," Senator Hanson said to Sky News host Chris Kenny on Wednesday. "They want to give money to all these people, handouts, they're not good economic managers, they've run the country into the ground. "They want to get more money to foreign aid, UNRWA (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees). They (Greens) are absolutely hopeless." Despite Sky News and ABC calling Melbourne for Labor, the Greens refuse to concede defeat with an observer saying there were about 15,000 absentee votes to be counted. Deputy Greens leader Mehreen Faruqi argued seats had been called and then uncalled since Saturday's election, insisting they will wait until "every" ballot is counted. The result will see the Greens reduced to just one seat in the House of Representatives, which is down from the four it won during the "Greenwave" at the 2022 election. The party has also lost the Queensland electorates of Griffith and Brisbane. It is holding onto Ryan, in Brisbane's west, but counting is still ongoing. Mr Bandt - a former Labor member when he was a teen - was upbeat about keeping his seat earlier this week and stressed he wanted to remain as the Greens leader. The Greens ran on 10 policies this election. It included 50 cent public transport fares after its success in Queensland, including dental in Medicare, supercharge solar and storage to get Australia to "100 per cent renewable by 2030", truth, treaty and justice, and to end the occupation of Palestine. Mr Bandt on Monday dismissed suggestion the Greens' pro-Palestine stance impacted the party, claiming their candidates were "the only ones talking about climate" and pushing for an end "to the bombs being dropped on children".

Actress Shanola Hampton visits her alma mater, Summerville High School, to inspire students
SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCBD) – Lowcountry native and television star Shanola Hampton was in Summerville speaking with students about hard work and perseverance. The Summerville High School alum and star of the NBC show 'Found' reminisced with school staff about her time as a 'Greenwave,' a place she dreamed of being an actor. 'I bleed green and gold, and I love my Greenwave and all of the staff,' she said. Hampton said she knew being an actor was something she wanted to do from her days walking the school halls. 'I always wanted to be an actor, and so I knew I had to start somewhere. So even when I was doing the minor roles, when you're from South Carolina you're like I have arrived and then you get a taste of that and you dream a bigger dream.' Hampton graduated from Summerville High School in 1995. She remembered many of her teachers and talked about how they helped shape who she was. 'Ms. Perkins took me under her wing and just really accepted — I have a very big personality, and it's been like this forever. It can be a lot when you are in school, let's be honest, right? And so she was one person who never tried to dim my light and so much of Summerville I can say that. Mrs. Profit who was my English teacher here, and she was hard-core. But she was so good and cared so much about her students.' Hampton then judged a student talent show at the school. She said it took 10 years in the business before her first big break, which was playing the role of 'Veronica Fisher' in the TV show 'Shameless.' Hampton is now a producer and star of 'Found,' which is in its second season on NBC. 'The arts, and the media, the theater and the campus is so large and the students are so kind. It means so much to me to be back to know that this is where my foundation started,' she said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Greenwave's Margins Expand as Scrap Metal Prices Surge Ahead of Steel and Aluminum Import Tariffs Taking Effect March 12, 2025
Tariffs Taking Effect on all Foreign Steel and Aluminum Imports Without Exception or Exclusion Greenwave Provides 100% Domestically-Sourced Scrap Metal to Nucor, Sims, Cleveland-Cliffs, and Georgia-Pacific Prices for Scrap Steel have Surged More than 20% the Past Month and are Expected to Go Higher Upcoming Tariffs on Copper Imports Expected to Further Accelerate Greenwave's Revenue Growth and Margin Expansion CHESAPEAKE, Va., March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: GWAV) ('Greenwave' or the 'Company'), today announced that its margins have expanded significantly due to surging prices for scrap steel – already up 20% since early February and expected to go higher – ahead of steel and aluminum import tariffs taking effect on March 12, 2025. Greenwave operates 13 metal recycling facilities in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio, providing 100% domestically-sourced scrap metal to Nucor, Sims, Cleveland-Cliffs, Georgia-Pacific, alongst other industry titans. Unlike country-specific tariffs which are often modified, metal import tariffs significantly strengthen America's national security and are expected to remain in effect for the foreseeable future. Fortress of Licenses: A Competitive Moat Greenwave holds a portfolio of highly coveted operational licenses for the Company's metal recycling facilities. These licenses, often protected by grandfathered municipal codes, provide significant barriers to entry to competitors in Greenwave's tightly regulated markets. Key highlights include: Norfolk, VA Facility: Positioned near the largest U.S. Naval Base, Greenwave's Norfolk facility benefits from a steady influx of prime scrap metal and holds one of the only Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles automotive recycler/demolisher licenses in the city. Virginia Beach, VA Facility: Greenwave operates the sole metal recycling facility in the state's largest city, Virginia Beach, strategically located directly across the street from NAS Oceana Master Jet Base and the region's thriving industrial core. Portsmouth, VA Facility: A cost-effective hub for domestic and international shipments due to its proximity to the Port of Virginia, the Company's Portsmouth facility holds a license protected by grandfathered regulations. Positioning for a Strategic Transaction Greenwave recently acquired the real estate for seven of its core facilities – thus reducing the Company's annual rent expenses by approximately $1.7 million, enhancing cashflow and positioning the Company for potential high-value strategic transactions. Upcoming Growth Catalysts Greenwave is set to benefit from the 2025 opening of Nucor Corporation's state-of-the-art steelmaking facility in Lexington, North Carolina(1). The facility's staggering 430,000-ton annual processing capacity, consisting of nearly 100% recycled materials, will significantly increase regional demand for recycled steel(1). Greenwave stands as one of North Carolina's largest suppliers of recycled steel, operating five metal recycling facilities and an industry-leading American Pulverizer 60x85 shredder. The Company has a proven track record of supporting Nucor's operations, supplying its Hertford mill with steel for critical applications, including bridges, heavy equipment, and warships vital to American national security interests, including the $13 billion USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier(2). Scrap Metal Scarcity to Drive Margin Growth: Greenwave's Hampton Roads Hub Optimally Positioned for Trump's Shipbuilding Boom There is a limited supply of scrap metal in each market—a finite resource that even soaring prices can only stretch so far. With President Trump's shipbuilding initiative poised to further drive demand for America's limited domestic scrap metal, Greenwave's strategic Hampton Roads hub optimally positions the Company to capitalize on this unique opportunity in a red-hot market. About Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: GWAV) operates 13 metal recycling facilities supplying industry titans with 100% domestically-sourced metals. Headquartered in Chesapeake, VA, Greenwave plays a critical role in infrastructure projects and U.S. national security, with operations across Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio.
