    Quarterly Essay 78: The Coal Curse: Resources, Climate and Australia’s Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
    Australia is a wealthy nation with the economic profile of a developing country - heavy on raw materials and low on innovation and skilled manufacturing. Once we rode on the sheep’s back for our overseas trade; today we rely on cartloads of coal and tankers of LNG. So must we double down on fossil fuels, now that COVID-19 has halted the flow of international students and tourists? Or is there a better way forward, which supports renewable energy and local manufacturing? Judith Brett traces the unusual history of Australia’s economy and the 'resource curse' that has shaped our politics. She shows how the mining industry learned to run fear campaigns and how the Coalition became dominated by fossil-fuel interests to the exclusion of other voices. In this insightful essay about leadership, vision and history, she looks at the costs of Australia’s coal addiction and asks, where will we be if the world stops buying it? "Faced with the crisis of a global pandemic, for the first time in more than a decade Australia has had evidence-based, bipartisan policy-making. Politicians have listened to the scientists and...put ideology and the protection of vested interests aside and behaved like adults. Can they do the same to commit to fast and effective action to try to save our children’s and grandchildren’s future, to prevent the catastrophic fires and heatwaves the scientists predict, the species extinction and the famines?” (Judith Brett, The Coal Curse) ungekürzt.

    2019 Stickleback Red South Australia
    Der Heartland Stickleback Red ist eine trockene Rotwein-Cuvée aus Australien mit warmer Frucht und würzigen Noten. Mit tiefdunkler Farbe, an den Rändern Violett schimmernd präsentiert sich der Heartland Stickleback Red im Glas. Besonders beliebt ist auch die unglaubliche reichhaltige Aromenvielfalt, die in der Nase deutliche Noten von Kirschen und Johannisbeere erkennen lässt. Neben einer sehr warmen Frucht und würzigen Noten offenbart der Stickleback Red Nuancen von Schokolade. Eingebettet sind die Aromen von sanften Tanninen.  Probieren Sie diese australische Rotwein-Cuvée als idealen Begleiter zu gegrilltem Fleisch oder einer deftigen Käseplatte.  Wie Sie sich den Geschmack dann vorstellen können, erklärt Ihnen der sympathische Nick Keukenmeester in diesem kurzen Verkostungsvideo>>.  Der Stickleback Red ist ein Erzeugnis des Joint Venture von sieben jungen Winzern, die sich 2001 unter dem Namen Heartland Wines zusammengetan haben. Aus ihrer Liebe zum Wein und der Überzeugung in Australien etwas Besonderes zu schaffen, starten sie ihre gemeinsame Unternehmung im Weinbaugebiet Langhorne Creek. Das Gesicht von Heartland Wines ist niemand geringeres als Winemaker Ben Glaetzer. Der Nachkömmling der berühmter Winzerfamilie Glaetzer ist sowas wie der Shootingstar des australischen Weinbaus, was auch die Auszeichnung zu „Australia’s Young Winemaker of the Year“ im Jahr 2004 bestätigt. Auch im Notizbuch vom renommierten Weinkritiker Robert M. Parker behaupten die Rotweine von Ben Glaetzers Heartland Wines Jahr für Jahr ihren Stammplatz aufs Neue. In eben diesem Notizbuch beschreibt Parker die Heartland Weine als „einige der eigenständigsten und komplexesten Weine Australiens“. Diese Eigenständigkeit und Komplexität findet sich auch im Stickleback Red wieder. Die Cuvée aus 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Shiraz und 9% Dolcetto verzückt mit würzigen Noten und sanften Tanninen. Die Trauben für die Rotwein-Cuvée Stickleback Red stammen aus den südaustralischen Weinbaugebieten Langhorne Creek und Limestone Coast.

    The Waler: Australia's Great War Horse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min
    When the first convoys of the ANZAC Expeditionary Forces sailed from Albany’s majestic King George Sound in November and December 1914, they carried with them hundreds of horses. Many had been loaded in ports elsewhere in Australia and New Zealand. Some came from unexpected places, including Juna Downs, a vast pastoral station in Western Australia’s remote Pilbara region. Over 130,000 Australian horses were to serve our forces, around 70,000 were to die overseas in the line of duty, and only one was to return home. What was the fate of up to 50,000 Australian horses that were still alive when guns became silent in 1918? This is the extraordinary story of Australia’s war horses - where they came from, where they served, and what became of those that had survived when Great War hostilities ceased in 1918. ungekürzt.

    Quarterly Essay 76: Red Flag: Waking Up to China's Challenge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 211min
    China has become a key nation for Australia’s future - for our security, economy and identity. But what are China’s intentions when it comes to Australia?  In this gripping account, Peter Hartcher shows how Beijing stepped up its campaign for influence, over hearts and minds, mineral and agricultural resources, media outlets and sea lanes. Reactions have included panic, xenophobia and all-the-way-with-the-USA - but the challenge now is to think hard about the national interest and respond with wisdom to a changed world. This urgent, authoritative essay blends reporting and analysis, and covers the local scene as well as the larger geopolitical picture. It casts fresh light on Beijing’s plans and actions and outlines a way forward.  Australia and China have got rich together. For Australia, that is quite enough. But China’s government wants more. As much power and influence over Australia as it can possibly get, using fair means or foul. But what Beijing can get is limited not only by China’s abilities but also by Australia’s will. In each case where Chinese officials or agents attempted to intrude, they met Australian resistance. And failed. For all its power, China is neither all-powerful nor irresistible. Australia can shape its engagement with Beijing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Hartcher. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/054226/bk_adbl_054226_sample.mp3.
