Adolf Eichmann would have been acquitted if tried under Australian law: Weekly Roundup

Something’s happening in renewable energy, the government embraces the National Partys established approach to infrastructure funding, if you cant find a rental on land take a cabin on a cruise, the Albanese government is slow to act because it has to clear all significant policy through Dutton, and why Adolf Eichmann would have been acquitted if he had been tried under Australian law. Read on for the weekly roundup of links to articles, podcasts, reports and other media on current economic and political issues.

Australias energy transition

A corporate takeover battle about renewable energy, industry superannuation funds, and the whole model of shareholder capitalism. How long can we go on earning carbon credits for not doing bad stuff? Global progress, perhaps, but wed better get a move-on because were not the only country with sunshine. Whos emitting what in the world some surprises. Australians are shocked to learn of a connection between bushfires and climate change.

Other economics

The infrastructure review still an opening for pork barrelling and not much for country roads. How tooth decay has become the RBAs new inflation indicator. Our age-divided economy whos struggling and whos cruising. An economic assessment of Jobkeeper OK but it was savage on education.

Politics

Why Adolf Eichmann would have been acquitted if he had been tried under Australian law our weak progress to whistleblower protection. Trust and social cohesion were becoming meaner and less trusting.
