We are already experiencing the symptoms of climate change, especially with a hotter and drier climate in southern Australia - the rush to construct desalination plants is an expensive testament to that.
China and India will take the global leadership on climate change: they are suffering for it.
We need to recognise that the whole edifice of our fifth estate, of our journalism, has been built on a foundation of newspaper journalism and that that foundation is crumbling. The management of the media companies will deny that the end is nigh. I hope they are right.
I was 14 in Barcelona, and when I initially went there, I didn't see my mum for six months and my dad for four months.

We don't really watch basketball in Australia.
Australia is not a secular country. It is a free country. This is a nation where you have the freedom to follow any belief system you choose.
The cost to do business in Australia is higher, and the lack of scale is a part of that - Australia is a very small market compared to the U.S.
