COAL21 CEO Mark McCallum says discussions are taking place with industries and government for a new carbon capture hub based in Queensland that would "unlock an ability for industries" to utilise common-user infrastructure and reduce emissions.
Mr McCallum said the carbon capture mechanism would "capture 25,000 cars worth of emissions every year for the next 25 years" off a power station. "It would separate and purify the CO2 off the waste stream and put it back into the earth crust - about 2km down," he said. The carbon could be recycled for use in soft drinks and beer.

Govt to crack down on cyber hackers | Sky News AustraliaFamilies and businesses are being promised extra protection from cyber hackers, as the government unveils a new industry code of practice.\n\nThe code will cover web-connected devices increasingly used in family homes, amid concerns their cyber security features are inadequate. \n\nHome Affairs Minister Peter Dutton will on Tuesday unveil the code of conduct in the hope it will force manufacturers to use greater cyber security protection. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Complete rubbish.

Stuff of nightmares Control of the people and what they see and do. Sounds a bit like a Communist Country.
