Senator surfer on political waves caught and missed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Of all the oceanic issues Greens senator Peter Whish-Wilson has waded into, shark mitigation took the biggest personal toll. The federal senator for Tasmania recalls with horror arriving in Perth ahead of a parliamentary inquiry he was chairing into balancing human safety with marine conservation. While in the air, he'd had 20 missed calls. A teenage girl had been killed by a white shark in Western Australia. Despite a media frenzy and pressure from the premier to cancel hearings, he argued a le
Commission warned more coal, more insurance pain (opens the original)

Gay has since pulled the trigger on retrofits to
Dreary consumer sentiment set to be put to the test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Australia consumers are set for their monthly check-in amid a stint of below-average confidence. Sentiment tanked as petrol prices shot up in the early phases of the Middle East conflict, as captured in Westpac-Melbourne Institute surveys released every four weeks. The July edition, slated for Tuesday, will come as consumers remain stubbornly pessimistic despite moderating prices at the pump. Motorists are now paying roughly $1.60 a litre, well below the $2 a litre or more typically forked out i
