Karen From Finance Because renewable's are unreliable, and cannot be used to support a grid electric system. There's a reason the industry has been investing so heavily in battery storage instead of improving the technology itself. I personally, as an engineer, think that renewable's are too far off to rely on to solve the clean energy issue. It's a much better option to make coal and gas continually cleaner and gradually transfer to a better source like hydro/nuclear. Note: When I say renewable's I'm specifically talking about solar/wind. Also I don't want to downplay these sources too much, they can be used really well to supplement a decent portion of energy, it's just that too many people think they will be able to switch entirely to these sources, which is just not advisable.

This is too real. I'm an Australian that literally moved to Japan this year after studying undergrad/postgrad studies in Australia for 8 years.

Battery technology is probably one of the biggest hindrances in advancing technology overall. The progression of capacity, discharge, life cycle, and charge rate of batteries has been far out paced by other technologies, like CPU processing power and efficiency. Better batteries equate to overall better electronics, vehicles, and the ability to harness renewable resources. Gathering renewable energy is the easy part, being able to fully take advantage of that energy, store it, and then disseminate that energy is the hard part.

Labour= Safe schools program(Teaching young children about the joys of same sex relationships, masturbation and gender fluidity- how gender is a social construct and that boys can be girls and girls can be boys). If Labour(The Left) follows Canadas and Swedens lead as they very much seem to be, Parents will eventually be legally forced to facilitate their preteen childs transition to their preferred gender, including choosing a new name, buying clothes appropriate to the chosen gender, and hormone therapy starting at age 7 which will render them permanently infertile. New gender pronouns will be legally enforced on society as is the case in Canada and Sweden such as Hirm Zim Zi to name just a few of the ever increasing list. Labour also supports mass immigration from the third world just like Canada Sweden and most European governments which has been just AWESOME for those countries and the people that live there. Labour QLD has just introduced the most radical abortion laws in the world allowing a termination of pregnancy up to 22 weeks for any reason at all including gender, then with the support of 2 medical professionals, right up to full term if desired. Although I don't like Liberal either, my blood boils every time I hear about Labour and their overseas contemporaries. I know you'll say but this is Australia not Canada or Sweden, and yet Labours policies seem to mirror them precisely.

You really do have to love it when fields like graph theory, measure theory and even their ties with formal sociological theory end up dying in Australia. Pure mathematics at an undergraduate level is basically dead, with only the extreme basics still being taught...and even then that's only at a few universities. Trying to do it at a postgraduate level is now an absolute hellhole as well. It's reached the point where the best option is to go to Germany and even PRC has better options for postgraduate research in many areas of pure mathematics. When a still developing economy is beating us in that regard, there is something horrendously wrong.
