I'm pleased to have contributed an article on economic impacts of natural disasters in Northern Australia to this thoughtful report. But given impacts of recent events, that were less severe than Cyclone Tracy, what have we really learned and acted upon?

‘The Australian govt’s 2 June divestment order to China-linked entities with shareholdings in rare earths developer Northern Minerals is an example of what will be needed to counter China’s domination of critical minerals supply’, writes @IanSatchwell. aspistrategist.org.au/chinas…
This is not about nuclear power in Australia, but growing production of uranium, the next critical mineral. Australia has the largest reserves and 60 years of experience in mining this essential enabler of the global energy transition.

'Nowhere in Australia are population and skills shortfalls more apparent than in the north which is heavily dependent on overseas migration to sustain both, and to boost the region’s contribution to national security', writes @IanSatchwell.
