Hello There, My best friend’s husband had lost his job and was whiling away his time doing nothing. As friends, we kept telling him about various job opportunities but he was fed up of the routine work and wanted something of his own. Of course, money was the stopping factor. And then one day, while we all sat down for a drink, I saw an article online which listed 7 low key, highly profitable businesses to own in the country. He found what he had been searching for all this while. He immediately put his plans into action and is now running his own company. So here is the article in case you want to follow the same path.      https://www.business2sell.com.au/blogs/buying/7-low-key-highly-profitable-businesses-to-own-in-australia

The shadow climate change minister, Mark Butler, has slapped down fellow frontbencher Joel Fitzgibbon, declaring Labor cannot support the Coalition’s 2030 emissions reduction target because it is inconsistent with the Paris agreement. Fitzgibbon, who suffered a significant swing against him in his coalmining seat in the Hunter Valley in the May election, used a speech on Wednesday to argue the ALP should offer “a political and policy settlement” on climate policy “to make 28% the target by 2030”. The Morrison government’s 2030 target is a 26%-28% reduction on 2005 levels by 2030. Labor at the last election proposed an emissions reduction target of 45%.

The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has said that a long-planned Turkish military operation in north-east Syria has begun, as Kurdish forces that currently control the area reported widespread airstrikes and “huge panic”. The move was triggered by Donald Trump’s announcement at the weekend that US troops would withdraw from the region, where thousands of captured Isis fighters and their families are held by Kurdish forces, and threatens to open a bloody new front in the Syrian war. Women and children in the largest Islamic State detention centre in Kurdish-controlled Syria are expecting to be freed in the wake of a Turkish assault on the area, according to people inside the camp. Al-Hawl is home to about 60,000 women and children with links to Isis and 10,000 displaced civilians.

The treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, knocked back a request for the deputy governor of the Reserve Bank, Guy Debelle, to address a meeting of state treasurers on climate change. The Queensland treasurer, Jackie Trad, wrote to Frydenberg in June asking for Debelle to talk to treasurers at the October meeting of the council of federal financial relations in Canberra on Friday about how climate change could affect monetary policy, inflation and economic growth. Trad’s request was part of a push for a new “clean economy agreement” that would commit Australian governments to act together to meet targets set under the Paris climate agreement.

When the channel country floods, the rivers of western Queensland spread like thousands of fractures through the red dirt, each snaking their way through the central desert towards Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. The remote regenerative waterways that flow into the great inland lake are largely unaffected by the sort of actions that have made a mess of the Murray-Darling, where the river system has been placed under pressure over decades by a mix of large-scale irrigation, floodplain development, dams and diversions.

Bushwalkers and map sellers say the decision to stop printing and selling topographic maps for Australia will put people's safety at risk and impact on our understanding of remote Australia. The ABC can reveal the Commonwealth agency that prints and issues the maps, Geosciences Australia, will print its last run on Friday, December 13 this year. In a world of Google Maps and GPS navigation devices, people simply are not buying them, according to Geosciences Australia chief scientist Dr Steven Hill. "The demand for printed hardcopy maps has decreased quite rapidly," he said. "The costs of storing and maintaining those maps, and updating them in a printed form, is becoming increasingly large, so the value proposition is not there in the way that it used to be."

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s ban on Chinese telecoms giant Huawei’s involvement in its future 5G networks and its crackdown on foreign covert interference are testing Beijing’s efforts to project its power overseas. In its latest maneuver, China sent three scholars to spell out in interviews with Australian media and other appearances steps to mend the deepening rift with Beijing _ a move that appears to have fallen flat. In a recent press conference at the Chinese Embassy in Canberra, Chen Hong, the head of Australian studies at East China Normal University, accused Australia of acting as a “pawn” for the United States in lobbying other countries against Huawei’s involvement in the nascent 5G networks.

Canberra, Australia — Australia's prime minister has said that his country was unlikely to provide the United States with internal government communications with an Australian diplomat who is partially responsible for triggering the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 American presidential election. President Trump recently asked Prime Minister Scott Morrison and other foreign leaders to help U.S. Attorney General William Barr with a review of the origins of the Russia probe that was triggered in part by a tip from Australia's top diplomat in Britain, Alexander Downer. Barr asked Mr. Trump to call Morrison to alert him that the attorney general would be reaching out, a Justice Department official confirmed to CBS News. Morrison agreed to cooperate with the inquiry during a phone call with Mr. Trump last month, which Morrison described as a "fairly uneventful conversation," but Morrison said Wednesday that Australia was unlikely to provide Downe
