  8. The Productivity Commission report on the inquiry into the circular economy has finally been published. The report 'finds that the Australian Government can support sustainable and efficient materials use by reforming regulation, strengthening product stewardship obligations and fostering coordination and innovation.'

    ‘Making our economy more efficient and sustainable requires coordinated, ongoing efforts across portfolios and levels of government’ - Commissioner Joanne Chong.

    The Productivity Commission's recommendations for governments include:

    🦺 Establishing a Circular Economy Regulatory Reform Taskforce with federal, state and territory governments

    🔋Progressing a national product stewardship scheme for small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and investigate a similar scheme for EV batteries.

    🏬Developing place-based initiatives to enable coordination, address distance challenges and support businesses to develop and share new ideas.

    🛠️ Implementing the recommendations from the PC's #RighttoRepair inquiry

  9. "It's not enough to hope the gap will close, governments must hold themselves to account for the commitments they've made under the National Agreement," Coalition of Peaks lead convener Pat Turner said.

    "Without real power shift, we'll keep seeing the same patterns repeat, and our people will continue to pay the price."

    The Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council chief executive, Paula Arnol, said the latest Closing the Gap report card was disappointing.

    “It’s 2025 and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are still not experiencing the health outcomes that non-Indigenous Australians enjoy. This is unacceptable,” she said. #auspol #auslaw #closethegap #IndigenousIP #health

  10. “The reality is that the law in Australia as it currently stands provides no real or effective legal avenue through which individuals and communities like those in the Torres Strait Islands can claim damages or other relief in respect of harm that they claim to have suffered as a result of governmental decisions and conduct which involve matters of high or core government policy,” Justice Wigney said.

    “That will remain the case until the law in Australia changes, either by the incremental development or expansion of the common law by appellate courts or by the enactment of legislation.”

    “Until then, the only real avenue available to those in the position of the applicants and other Torres Strait Islanders involves public advocacy and protest and ultimately recourse via the ballot box.”

  15. Closing the Gap will fail without ‘fundamental change’, the Productivity Commission finds theguardian.com/australia-news
    In a scathing report, the Productivity Commission has called for urgent changes to rescue the landmark agreement, accusing the federal government of “weak” action on key areas, not fulfilling its promises and a “disregard” for the suggestions of Indigenous communities. It says efforts to eliminate institutional racism in areas such as justice and health have “received little effort”.

  16. It’s hard to imagine whose interests are actually being protected by the current approach to Agency secrecy: The Agency chiefs or Client-Stakeholder-Taxpayers.

    As rightly stated, the empowerment of the average Client-Stakeholder-Taxpayers does not empower the Scammers that are already aware of the loopholes.

    In fact, I would question, is the failure to empower effectively a breach of Privacy obligation.

    The seemingly ‘invisible’ and passive approach would also suggest an unwillingness to actively deter scammers.
