Are lawyers actually regulated? Our run-ins with NSW Bar Association & ACT Law Society show not. In fact, threats and conflicts of interest ... well, that *is* the business. (long form West Report suitable for driving or doing the washing-up ) #auspol youtu.be/CIdFlu0FcO8?...

The assumption that a gas phase for Whyalla is key to eventual decarbonisation is not only flawed, it is economically unviable.
