Leaked documents show Australia's richest company quietly shelved plans to go green

Hundreds of pages of internal BHP documents reveal how the company sold itself as a climate leader while internally finding reasons to put off action in the Pilbara.

New Four Corners investigation lays it bare: BHP talks big on climate while quietly shelving billions in green projects in WA.
Leaked docs suggest “net zero by 2050” is more PR than plan — all while raking in $22 billion from Pilbara iron ore.

This is the #4Corners program that revealed the #Bluetooth vulnerability of #Axon policing products (#Taser and #BodyCams). Aside from the taser-caused death allegations and the vigorous means by which the Axon company defends their products, I am also concerned about the bodycams our armed forces wear on deployments. Are they also #hackable?

Four Corners: S2026 Taser Tactics

Tasers are meant to be a safer way for police to stop dangerous situations, without taking a life. But people are still dying. When something goes wrong after a taser is used, who decides what actually happened?

I can’t believe its not @twcau May 3

Seems #4Corners tonight will be interesting to Aussie Tech types: The tactics of the multi-billion-dollar tech giant behind tasers.

The usual weekly teaser article goes into, amongst other things, how an Aussie has built a proof of concept app to be warned of police officers nearby - by detecting their Axon Bluetooth devices such as their body cameras and tasers.

A hacker built a tool to track police officers. Then he tried to warn them

A security flaw means the location of devices used by police, potentially including undercover officers and those travelling home, is visible to anyone with a phone or laptop.

South Australia's algal bloom is one of the worst environmental disasters in Australian waters, continuing to devastate parts of the coastline. What did the government know about the health risks and what was the public told?

I'm getting the sense that #TheGreens are going to scoop a lot of new voters in this weekend's #SAVotes #Election because the major parties are quite simply promise-breakers, xenophobes or rubbish respectively
