Pharma Exclusivity in TGA Processes a Barrier to Natural Products

Smart Meters and Remote Control Air Cons
National, Senate Estimates
At Senate Estimates I asked the Australian Energy Regulator if they were concerned that there seems to be increasing control over people's electricity and access to electricity. It seems to be a case of "see no evil" at the Energy Regulator…

How Do You Fit Big Australia Into Small Housing and Infrastructure?
National, Senate Estimates
I asked the Treasury Department how they got immigration forecasts for the year so horribly wrong when they were already a third of the way through the year? In October 2022, the Government estimated total net overseas migration for the year…
