Weekly Wrap: The Libs ditch Net Zero, Epstein’s emails, and nobody’s saying Menulog
Getting you across the week in news - we’re back with the Coalition and climate policy, because it was announced this week that the Liberal Party were officially abandoning the net zero targets set by former PM Scott Morrison. We’ll take you through what that entails, and what’s yet to unfold. Then it’s over to the US for the latest in the Trump/Epstein saga. And finishing up with the announcement of Victoria’s new ‘Violent Crime, Adult Time’ laws and Menulog shutting up shop.
We’re also hiring! See below for more info on the role.
