China’s investment in nuclear power construction has well-night tripled since 2019
In 2023 China had 10 nuclear reactor units either approved or starting new construction, which was the highest on record. These approvals have accelerated after 2018 with the implementation of third-generation nuclear reactor technology. China approved four new units in 2019, four again in 2020 and five in 2021. Prior to 2019, there were three years when China didn’t approve any. Nuclear power development in the country had stalled after the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan in 2011. Currently, nuclear power projects under construction in China predominantly use the domestically developed Hualong One pressurized water reactor technology. This third-generation nuclear power technology costs 18 billion yuan to 20 billion yuan per unit. At the end of 2023, China had 26 nuclear power units under construction nationwide, amounting 30.3 gigawatts of installed capacity, according to the report. China has the capacity to build 40 reactor units at the same time, Zhang Tingke, secretary-general of the China Nuclear Energy Association, said at the forum. Third-generation nuclear power technology has fully entered the mass production stage, with 13 Hualong One units under construction around the world. China has 55 commercial nuclear reactors in operation at the end of 2023 with a total installed capacity of 57 gigawatts. That puts the country in third place globally behind the United States and France.

“Follow the Money” AND “Follow the Evidence”.
Lisa Wilkinson won in court, but is this the end of her TV career?By Karl Quinn and Calum JaspanApril 19, 2024 — 5.30am
Listen to this article
7 min
After a long and bruising legal battle, Lisa Wilkinson was finally able to stand on the steps of the Federal Court in Sydney on Monday and declare, “I published a true story about a rape.”
The TV presenter was, of course, referring to her interview with Brittany Higgins, which aired on Ten’s The Project in February 2021. It won her and the show two Logies the following June, and ultimately became the focus of a protracted and expensive defamation trial brought and lost by Bruce Lehrmann.
For a journalist under siege, it was both victory and vindication. Now the trial was out of the way, normal transmission could resume and Wilkinson – one of the highest-profile and best-paid presenters on Australian television – could return to her rightful place on our screens.
But is that really likely?
Sources at Ten, who were not authorised to speak on the record, say there is no chance of Wilkinson returning to the network, despite the fact she has a contract that runs until December 31 that is reportedly worth $1.7 million a year.
That deal – which also included a $100,000-a-year wardrobe allowance – was negotiated in 2017, when she joined The Project. After she stepped back from the show (by mutual agreement) in late 2022, the expectation was that she would deliver three interview specials a year (her wardrobe allowance was reduced to $40,000 in light of the reduced appearances; any clothing and accessories bought through it are to remain the property of, and on the premises of, Ten).
Those specials, though, have not eventuated. Nor are they likely to.
Wilkinson and Ten were initially represented by the same legal team at the defamation trial, but differing accounts of who knew what, and when, in relation to her controversial acceptance speech at the Logies (which was delivered eight days before Lehrmann faced court on rape charges, and caused the trial to be delayed) saw Wilkinson seek her own representation. Ten will probably have to shoulder the bulk of her legal bill, which recent reports have suggested could top $2 million (even before the five-week trial began, it had reportedly topped $700,000).
Though ostensibly on the same side during the trial, relations between the parties have deteriorated badly.
In his 324-page judgment, Justice Michael Lee noted “that as the trial went on, the more it became evident as to how Ms Wilkinson seeks to distinguish her role from the role of others within Network Ten as to the investigation and publication of The Project program”.
Or, to put it in the more colloquial terms used by a Ten insider: “She threw us under the bus. There’s just no way she can come back after that.”
The Ten insider points to Wilkinson’s differing accounts of her role in the Higgins story, saying during the trial that her role was simply “to read the pre-prepared script”, yet at other times claiming personal responsibility for the story, including when she won the Logie and again outside court this week.
Nine, which owns this masthead, is not really an option either. Wilkinson and the network parted company in 2017 over a bitter and very public pay dispute.
It was reported at the time that Wilkinson had been offered a deal worth $1.8 million a year to stay with Today, but she wanted $2 million, the same as her co-host, Karl Stefanovic. Hugh Marks, who was then chief executive of Nine, later claimed Wilkinson had in fact been seeking $2.3 million in exchange for giving up a range of commercial deals outside of Nine.
“It’s pretty rare for someone to come back to a commercial network after leaving like that,” says a Nine insider, who was not authorised to speak on the record. “But she is a very good broadcaster, is popular with viewers, and is good at what she does, so I definitely think there’s still a place for her on television.”
Seven, where Wilkinson worked before joining Nine, is a very remote possibility, though unlikely given its role in backing the Lehrmann version of events on its Spotlight program.
That means the most obvious spot for Wilkinson on free-to-air might be the ABC, says one Nine source, though they added it might not be able to afford her. The ABC declined to comment for this story.
Any role with a public broadcaster would come with a vastly reduced pay package. Indeed, given the changed economics of free-to-air broadcasting generally since Wilkinson moved to Ten in 2017, no commercial broadcaster would stump up that sort of coin either. But cash is not the only motivator for someone as used to the public eye as Wilkinson.

Hello Lizzie. Your travelogues were great!
A constitution is just a piece of paper if it’s not followed, you only have to look to the US who are censoring anybody they don’t like as if the much-vaunted First Amendment didn’t exist.
About 12 years ago in Ukraine there was talk of needing a new Constitution. One journo suggested suing the US one on the grounds that it worked well for a couple of hundred years and they weren’t using it any more so would not mind.

From Stockhead this morning.
Good morning everyone, and welcome to 19 April, 2024 – an important date in the history of absurdly horrendous science, as it was on this date in 1619 that the city of Amsterdam opened the doors to one of its most curious buildings: the Theatricum Anatoticum.
You don’t need to be fluent in Latin to figure out what that translates to – but because it’s probably early in the morning when you’re reading this, it means Theatre of Anatomy, and it provided a space for fee-paying students and medical professionals to go and watch someone cut up a dead body, and talk about all the bits that came tumbling out.
The dissection itself was normally performed by a qualified man of science – or, in some instances, a very enthusiastic hobbyist – and it rapidly became much more popular than you could reasonably expect.
In later years, the requirement that an audience member be qualified, or studying towards some kind of medical degree went out the window, and before long it was seen by everyday residents of Amsterdam as a pretty decent afternoon excursion.
Kind of how most modern people would view a Sunday arvo trip to the cinema, only with less popcorn and a whole panoply of horrendous sights and odours to contend with – which, by quantity, would probably be around the same number as one might expect in a crowded movie theatre in modern times.
The fact that this is a notable event in Amsterdam’s already-weird history is overshadowed somewhat by the fact that this one wasn’t even the first theatre of it’s kind in The Netherlands.
An older one exists in the Dutch city of Leiden, which is where the earliest Dutch hipsters lived, because they were into watching people cutting up dead bodies for fun, like, years before those tryhards in Amsterdam.
Luckily for you, today’s lessons on the ASX are nowhere near as confronting, or gory – the likelihood of emerging from reading one of our great stories this morning spattered in someone else’s blood is vanishingly slim.

“Shut the f@ck up”, says the lion, “or you’ll get us all fired”

That’s pretty interesting. Face recognition is a whole medical field I suspect. Facial blindness (prosopagnosia) is well known, where people can’t recognize people by faces. It’s fairly common. I don’t have it but I know someone who does.
My Cafe birdies can obviously recognize individuals of their own species, although I can’t tell which is which individually. Noisy miners instantly recognise individuals not of their clan, and then go for them. They all look the same to me, although I can sometimes tell individuals by their behaviour. Not by sight or visual cues though. Cockies ditto.
So I would have no doubt prosopometamorphopsia is likewise a medical phenomenon, like prosopagnosia. The altered or damaged brain wiring isn’t doing image processing properly in both cases.
This guy seems to have run a full service outlet for gangbangers:
A Melbourne man will face almost 150 charges after police accused him of selling weapons to known youth gang members in Melbourne’s south-east.
The 52-year-old Cranbourne North man was arrested in October 2023 at a shop in Narre Warren, where police discovered more than 400 illegal weapons.
In raids on two stores that day, police found weapons including imitation handguns, butterfly knives, axes, miniature samurai swords, daggers, flick knives and knuckle dusters.
Police also found 111 cartons of illegal cigarettes as well as methylamphetamine, cannabis and prescription medication.
More interesting is the obiter at the bottom of the story:
Police allege the man was selling weapons to known youth gang members in the Dandenong area.
His arrest was part of Operation Alliance, which is targeting youth gangs.
Victoria Police said the operation has led to 387 known youth gang members being arrested a total of 1,432 times, leading to 3,286 charges.
Police said a core group of 249 youth gang members were arrested more than three times each, and 59 of those were arrested more than 10 times.
Does anyone else ask – what is wrong with this picture?
How can someone who has been arrested between three and ten plus times for criminal activity not be in gaol for a longish time? Oh, right, it’s Victoriastan, where judges and magistrates live in leafy enclaves far away from the victims and believe everything that they are told.
Disgraceful.

Confirmed:
Explosions heard in Iran, Syria, Iraq – The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com)
An Israeli missile strike targeted a site in Iran early Friday morning, according to ABC News.
The report came shortly after local sources reported explosions in Isfahan in central Iran, in the As-Suwayda Governorate of southern Syria, and in the Baghdad area and Babil Governorate of Iraq early Friday morning.
Flight trackers showed several flights headed for Iran had turned around and diverted from their planned routes, including several Emirati flights.
Syrian reports indicated airstrikes targeted sites belonging to the Syrian Army in the As-Suwayda and Daraa Governorates of southern Syria.
Residents in Erbil and Mosul in Iraq reported hearing the sounds of fighter jets as well early Friday morning.
The explosions came as Israel promised to respond to a drone and missile attack conducted by Iran on Saturday night against Israel. The Iranian attack came in response to an alleged Israeli airstrike that targeted a building next to the Iranian embassy in Damascus in which Mohammad Reza Zahedi – a senior IRGC commander in charge of Iran’s operations in Syria and Lebanon – was killed.
Well, I guess let’s see if there’s more to come… or if Iran responds.
“If Israel could defeat its foes on its own it wouldn’t need a US green light.”
I figure Israel has nuclear weapons (it would be a fool if it didn’t) and just has to play the political/diplomatic game until things get serious.
If Israel strikes an Iranian nuclear facility we will soon find out if reports of Iran playing their B side the other day were correct.
Just as well I’m a Liverpool supporter JR.

It’s an interesting subject. You have a whole spectrum ranging from ‘I never forget a face’ to what you have described.
I don’t know if there are really people who never forget a face, but suspect that a lot of it has to do with gregariousness. I’m no hermit, but have never needed other people around to make me happy and content. There are lots of people who are miserable without human company and interaction.
I’m no good at remembering faces and names of people met in passing – it’s not important. I suspect that the successful society hostess or politician would have a different set of priorities.
As for birds, they are very good at it. In an area known for swooping magpies, mince bribes meant that walking through the danger zone was never a problem. 🙂
Since I’m doing zoo animals, I should put this story up as well.

Simple. It’s now an unchallengeable rule of the global left and their governments — from Spring Street, Melbourne, to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue — that the only people allowed freedom (apart those decreeing it) are criminals.
And the rules of criminal justice are inverted so that normal people (a.k.a. the normies) are treated as criminals and their leaders imprisoned.

Visitors will no longer be able to set foot on one of Australia’s premier tourist destinations under a proposed plan to protect its cultural significance for traditional owners.
Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre is the continent’s largest lake. Every few years it breaks out into a spectacular kaleidoscope of colours when flooding rains from Queensland fill the immense saltwater basin, transforming the bleak desert landscape into an oasis of flowers and birds and attracting scores of tourists.
But it is a sacred site for the Arabana people, who have lived in the region for millennia and are the lake’s native title holders.
Under a proposed management plan, all recreational access to the lake bed will be banned out of respect for Arabana culture.

Should these indigenes want some money to live how about opening their sacred sites to tourism? Other nations and religions, except one, are happy to show their wonders to the world.
Would love to see a map of the continent that shows where it’s still Australia.
I agree, Johanna. WordPress’s idea of commenting software is buggy and very primitive.
It’s obvious to me that the code was written by a junior coder attempting to show off to his coding mates. The idea of making the software user-friendly for users was the furthest thing from his mind.
For example, it’s the dumbest idea imaginable to have to scroll to the top of the page to post a new comment only to have the comment immediately relegated to the bottom of the page when you refresh it. That’s just plain primitive and infantile.
However, if it’s a choice between this software and none at all, I’d say reverting to the old would simply further dumb down the Cat.

We need one of the Cat’s HMTL coders to suggest a readily available alternative that would improve the site.

Iran said “even the tiniest attack on them from Israel” would result in all out war…
So, this appears to have been (?) a teeny tiny attack.. but is still attack…
It isn’t if you think about it. The comm box appears immediately under the post, the idea being that engagement is going to occur once someone’s read the post. Further, because you can reply to a comment where that comment appears, they assume there is little need to have the comm box at the bottom because if you are going to reply to a particular comment that is one-third or half-way down the thread you still need to find the comm box either at the bottom or the top of the page, so given the previous, makes sense.

Well we know Mossad does not balk at training spy-pigeons with ‘frickin cameras on their heads’, navy saboteur dolphins, and presumably specially mutated elves that sneak into Imam’s homes to steal individual shoes* (rather than making new ones in a cobbler’s shops).
An agency as wily and unimaginably imaginative as Mossad would no doubt have devised multiple vectors by which to visit destruction upon Iran: flocks of clay-pigeons (but bred to be made of C4 rather than clay), ninja mega elephants, rock and roll musics that make the youth turn away from Islam and swear fealty to the other great Satan.
* Is this not the most diabolical aspect – if a pair of shoes is missing you assume you put them somewhere you don’t remember, but just one shoe? Why only misplace one shoe? That is Mossad taunting. Mossad laughing. Mossad wiping its collective butt on a copy of the koran. An Imam loses a shoe – what more appropriate response can their possibly be than kicking the cat and calling for the bloody annihilation of Israel.

I’m really worried this shit could get out of hand and the strait is made vulnerable. A couple of old hands agree. If Homuz becomes a problem we could end up short of oil and the price goes sky high.
Last evening I read a frightening report that if oil supplies are tightened up we could see $US 300 a barrel. Their argument was that the 70s oil embargo saw the price move up 300%.
The winners in that scenario would be the US and , ironically , Russia.
Skirmishes, with missiles being lobbed around close to Mid East oil fields is a big risk in my opinion.

The Dark Truth About The Left’s Love of ISLAMISM – Tom Slater
“”California’s homeless crisis proves the public sector is a welfare program and political tool. The California State Auditor released a report this month that reveals California’s programs to combat homelessness have been utterly ineffective. Nine agencies funded by the state have received billions from 2018 to 2023, but homelessness is rapidly rising and California hosts the largest homeless population in the nation. What have these public agencies done with the $24 BILLION they were awarded to combat homelessness?
Homelessness have risen by 56.7% in California since 2015. The federal department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has been used to funnel money to smaller state entities under the impression that they would use the money to assist the people. California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) takes the funding from HUD to coordinate with these main nine failed programs, but the audit found that CAL ICH has failed to consistently track where this money has gone and has zero methods in place for gathering data on the success of these federally funded initiatives.”

China is going to have a say in trying to put out the fire.

Not only that.
The dislike they have for anyone espousing an idea they do not like manifests itself in ‘mounting pressure’ and ‘growing calls’.
We have not been there yet, but I feel there must be a Hiroshima level expression for something they reeeally hate, like ‘strident opposition’.
I will count myself lucky if I never hear that expression or live through the apocalyptic calamity that demands it.
Lock up the strait, make it problematic and we’re screwed.
Only because our dumb ‘Pollies’ have our Strategic Oil Reserve in Tex Arse USA.
That Reserve should be here in OZ and be at least a years worth.
And, we should have oil drilling going all over the place and a lot more Oil Refineries even if Taxpayer (Guv’ment) owned.
So, Tennis Elbow, a billion dollars ‘pissing it up against the wall’ trying to make over priced solar panels is not a very good idea. BUT, a few billion dollars in Oil Refineries is. You can’t fly as a ‘Pollie’ Tourist all around the Planet without paraffin (kerosene to the Yanks). FFS.

Thanks for the heads-up Roger. Registered and posted my comment from my indigenous gmail address (yes, I have one lol!):
My people, Arabana people, are not in agreement with this. I make some money off taking tourists in cars and bikes on the area. I make sure these folk take good care of my land and the best way to keep it that way is to make sure we are making some tourism dollar so that we can keep it clean and protected.
Or else t’ll be you fellas policing the keepy off lands. Instead, you will need to pay for its management and protection as this aboriginal corporation down here don’t care for nothing like these kind of jobs. No way these fellas are gonna do this work properly as they are a bunch of Adelaide folk in shiny suits.
We can manage this place just fine, why give this job to the whitefellas who run our councils? And we like bringing people here to tell our story. We can’t tell it by not going there for walkabouts. Same thing happened up Alice way and I know many local fellas lost jobs.

This has been demonstrated time and again.
There was another doco where the jacks in some southern US state shot and killed a dude charging at them with a knife within the six metre benchmark. The jacks, at the moment the charge began, still had their shooters holstered yet were able to draw and go kablammo.
There was a particularly vocal clergyman at the time who was going on about shooting the knife out of his hand, shooting him in the leg and so on. The Chief of Jacks invited this man of the cloth to a demonstration, gave him a shooter and had a bloke with a rubber knife run at him in the exact manner the dead bloke did to the real jacks, except the clergyman could hold the shooter and not have to get it out of a holster.
Five times the bloke, who was of the same height and build (fat bastard) ran at the clergyman. Five times the clergyman was hit with the knife before he could get a shot off – bearing in mind this took no training other than to pull a trigger.
A visibly shaken clergyman was then interviewed, who said he had no idea of reality, and that he would shut his trap about this sort of thing in future.

And what Environmental works were the Abos doing 60,000 years ago to protect the flora and fauna of this Continent? How did they manage Lake Eyre or Kati-Thanda (should they wish to change the name). You mean. it didn’t rain then? LOL. And did those animals go extinct? Climate Change caused it or were they eaten/killed? I fink’ I know the answer.
And which of the 300 plus languages to use? None of which have ever been written down (come on down Bruce Pascoe). Sweet FA that’s what.
FFS. Wot’ a load of utter Bollocks.
I remember years ago when we were being gaslit with the synthetic hairshirt day by the SMH. The next day they had two pictures from the same vantage point (from South East of the Bridge to North West*), one before Earth Hour and the other during Earth Hour.
The SMH was creaming its broadsheets. There was a significant reduction in the amount of light between the two pictures.
Until Tim Blair *boo hiss* made some observations.
He noticed that the main impact came from the Harbour Bridge where some of its luminous livery had been turned off. But he noted also that the headlights on the cars on the bridge were also dimmer. If anything they should have stood out more starkly in the conspicuous virtue gloom.
He then directed readers eyes to the buildings behind. There were a few panes that were darkened compared to the other picture, but very few. They were clustered in a single building – which means some miserable building supervisor had been duped into thinking Earth Hour was a big deal. Like being persuaded to attend a fancy dress party only to turn up and find everyone else dressed in normal attire.
All the other lights had, like the Bridge traffic, been treated with shorter exposure time.
The purist distillation of the enviro movement: A lie pushed so insistently, brazenly, and unrelentingly that mild mannered normies will let it pass because pushing back with the requisite force seems discourteous in a world desperately lacking in courtesy.
*Being careful here. I cannot help but suspect that the points of the compass are now also genders and so must capitalise them lest they feel disrespected.
