AFP emails show officers were armed during media raid

The Australian Federal Police initially classified its investigation into a high-profile national security leak as "routine" and of "low value", according to a cache of documents that also reveals police were armed when they launched two recent raids on the media.
Emails obtained by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age under freedom of information laws also offer fresh evidence that Annika Smethurst, a senior member of the Canberra press gallery, could be prosecuted for publishing secret government information.

Germany's coal exit contrasts with Australia

Bochum, Germany: While the ink is still drying on the approval for Australia's new controversial coal mine, Germany is working to extinguish the coal industry entirely.
Adani was cleared to start work on the Carmichael mine in central Queensland in mid-June after the state government ticked off on the groundwater plans.
Director of global and European affairs with German mining trade union IG BCE Michael Mersmann visited Australia in 2016 to discuss transition with politicians and the CFMEU.

He said the concept of consensus was one of the most striking differences about business in Germany and Australia.

"One of the biggest problems Australia has is there is no existing relationship between employers, trade unions and states," he said.

"In your country you are rather heading towards a conflict, not a consensus. What we are trying to do here is have softer negotiations and find a solution at an earlier point."
Australia has no plans to phase out coal at this stage. 
Unions are on the boards of all German companies
