US submarine in underwater collision in South China Sea
The Seawolf-class submarine’s nuclear propulsion plant was not affected, the US Navy said.

A group of former US officials and experts has written to the US president, Joe Biden, warning the deal could threaten US national security by encouraging hostile nations to obtain highly enriched uranium (HEU). At the same time, the former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull says if Australia does buy the submarine reactors without a domestic nuclear industry – and therefore the nuclear expertise – it will be “more plug and pray” than “plug and play”. The former Nato deputy secretary general Rose Gottemoeller has called on Australia to make a new deal with France to use their uranium, which is not weapons grade. That would heal the rift with France and ease nuclear proliferation fears, she said.

When IBAC did notify NSW- Media

WHEN IBAC DIDN'T NOTIFY VICTORIA-Media
The fact that Peter Costello's Ch9 have no evidence of what IBAC is doing never prevents them ( I don't really know, Nick McKenzie etal ) printing bullshit as fact. All their "journalists" need say is "according to sources and records obtained by The Age." Needless to say these sources, and they are wide and varied, remain unnamed and tightly held. Yet the journalists would have us believe they are inside the very minds of the IBAC commissioners and know them better than they know themselves. "The Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission now intends to hold public hearings into"....
The greater liklihood however is that Matthew Guy is back and the LNP dirt brigade has become more active in order to boost Guy's seemingly tougher stance in opposition than Michael Obrien's. Little Matt needs a boost given the shellacking he took at the last election.
The problem for The Age is that they need to be providing news for all Victorians and not just a few. We have noticed that the print version now looks more like a LNP leaflet than a newspaper purchased for it's crosswords,word puzzles and Sodoku.
Victoria’s anti-corruption commission will hear evidence during about how public grants to ethnic groups were used for political purposes.
Andrews government knew three years ago about problems at centre of corruption probe
Gladys, whose involvement with a corrupt boyfriend where she either deliberately ignored his behaviour or was dangerously incompetent at noticing, resigns before an investigation and there’s a general bashing of teeth at the unfairness of it all. This is the middle of a pandemic and changing leaders is not something anyone should want. Dan, who may or may not be appearing in an IBAC investigation which may or may not be about his behaviour, is « refusing » to stand aside and « stubbornly » continuing to lead his state and refusing to answer questions that may be a breach of the law were he to talk about the inquiry which may or may not exist. We’ll probably know more in the coming days. And if it’s discovered that Andrews has appeared then it’s only right that he should be placed in the stocks and publicly flogged, even if he was only appearing as a witness where he is cooperating to help bring to light branch stacking in the Labor Party. (Branch stacking doesn’t occur in the Liberal Party; they only have aggressive recruitment).

The Right to Repair movement has gained significant traction in the past few years. Activists in the EU, US, and Australia aligned with the movement have helped spur the introduction and passage of legislation to force manufacturers to provide access to repair knowledge and tools.
France introduced an anti-waste law in 2020 that has created a repair index for electronics and appliances. Shoppers are now greeted with color-coded labels that define a product’s ease of reparability.
But it is also up to us. To find out more, and to learn what we can all do to combat the manipulation of Big Tech and help reduce e-waste, check out the Tech4Evil podcast.
