Weaker RET would transfer $10b to big power firms, study finds

Reducing the national Renewable Energy Target (RET) would generate $10 billion in extra profit over the next 15 years for owners of coal and gas-fired power plants while consumers pay more, according to new analysis commissioned by green groups.

New sex abuse case rocks church - The Age

The Catholic Church has expelled an inner-Melbourne priest after  allegations of sexual impropriety  as the sex abuse royal commission begins its Melbourne hearings into decades of  abuse and alleged cover-ups.

The disclosure that the priest's alleged victim received a financial settlement from the church and refused to assist police has led to the accusation that the church paid hush money. Father Mato Krizanac, 60, of the Croatian Catholic Centre at St Nicholas' church in Clifton Hill, was the subject of a 12-month internal investigation by the church's independent commissioner, Peter O'Callaghan, QC, of the Melbourne Response, and the Archdiocese of Adelaide, where the alleged offences are said to have taken place in the mid 1980s.
