Plus: why have Iraqi authorities fined a jailed Australian US$50m?

%%=v(@salutation)=%% |
As Black Summer bushfires tore through Australia,
a think tank funded by fossil fuel companies bought Google ads. Cam Wilson this week reported on the ads,
which downplayed the link between the deadly blazes and climate change. But as Julia Bergin found,
there are people around the country stepping up to use science to help address the climate crisis — from those growing magical methane-busting seaweed to a man shipping cow dung-burying beetles to farmers.
Also this week,
Bernard Keane revealed the AFP no longer cares about Malcolm Turnbull’s missing memoirs, Charlie Lewis unpacked the News Corp obsession with ABC journalist Louise Milligan,
and Anton Nilsson broke the story of a multimillion-dollar “fine” handed to a jailed Australian engineer by Iraqi authorities.
All that and more this week in Crikey.
Have a lovely weekend, |

America has not been drowned in a red wave, but nor has it been able to catch a blue roller. It's going to be a messy couple of years.
