National’s revenue contributions will bring EVZ to within $30m of . . . → Read More: EVZ – we’re on a winner

All Systems Go for U

As we forecast, Kevvie won the day by a handful of votes to allow U mining in states that want to permit it, while maintaining a ban on nuclear power stations. Perfect for us and our SA and NT U investments, and not so pleasant for all those holding shares with U interests in any other . . . → Read More: All Systems Go for U

National Summit on Climate Change

Kevvy has a new site up for airing the outcomes, transcripts and vids from the ALP’s National Summit on Climate Change. Sadly, there’s no facility for interaction, no forums, no blogs. Despite their apparent fascination for broadband tech, as media whiz Trevor Cook points out, Kevvy’s team is behind the net-times!

Darlings of the Bourse

Time to assess the treasure in preparation for reorganisation in view of serious impending opportunities. SNU floats on Tuesday, and we’ll be trying to buy as many as we can cheaply. We feel multiple bids might be in order to maximise our chances of increasing our holding as swiftly as possible. Seems as if most SAU . . . → Read More: Darlings of the Bourse

Industry can gag research: CSIRO

Rosslyn Beeby
The CSIRO has confirmed coal industry bodies have the power to suppress a new report questioning the cost and efficiency of clean-coal carbon capture technologies because they partly funded the research.

Dr David Brockway, chief of CSIRO’s division of energy technology, told a Senate . . . → Read More: CXY

Correctional Ops

Last week, as Fringe’s neurones grappled with flu fallout, we kept our investment activities under careful restraint despite the plethora of tempting opportunities presented by the correction. Our sole accumulation, apart from a large cheque mailed off for the exceedingly attractive SNU floaties, was some SMN at 22c. We first bought these at 11c a while . . . → Read More: Correctional Ops
