The INEOS Grenadier powers through mud, water, along rough tracks and up steep, slippery slopes. It should last for 25 years at least. But it will cost you.
There’s no shortage of new car brands at the moment. And the products from these companies are almost universally streamlined, packed with software and electrically powered.
Let’s start with the fact that the Grenadier has an old-fashioned key start, a pull-up handbrake and doors that need to be slammed.Unlike most British off-roaders, the Grenadier was engineered in Austria and built in France. The company has spent about $2.4 billion so far, but claims to have enough firm orders to fill the first eight months of production, with US sales books yet to open. Interest from Australia has been particularly high, despite a price that has been climbing dramatically.
I could return some of that love by judiciously using the double horn: the polite button for pedestrians and cyclists, and the very loud one for the git in the Opel who made a kamikaze run for the imaginary space in front of me. There is other highly functional tech too, including a graphic to show which way the front wheels are pointing and a proprietary off-road navigation system. If going into the unknown you can, among other things, leave “breadcrumbs” so you can find your way back to where you started.The course’s elephant footsteps, a series of sharp, alternate rises and falls designed to apply as much twisting force to the chassis as possible, were no problem at all.

‘A lot of pain’ to come for power bills as government continues shutting down minesWashington H. Soul Pattinson Executive Chairman Robert Millner says there is “a lot of pain” to come through power bills as the government continues shutting down mines. “I know because I’m in the coal industry and we have copper and zinc operations as well,” he told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood. “So I can’t build a new copper mine now because I can’t get approvals. “So if I gave you an approval tomorrow it’s going to take you five or six years to get that copper mine up and running, so you’re closing down the base power now and we haven’t got anything to replace it.”

‘Three key issues’: Similarities drawn between Indigenous Voice and NZ’s Waitangi TribunalThe Institute of Public Affairs has identified “three key issues” with the Indigenous Voice to Parliament proposal after analysis of New Zealand’s equivalent – the Waitangi Tribunal, says IPA Research Fellow Brianna McKee. “The first is that the Voice could become involved in every aspect of life, so including education, defence, interest rates, even the selection of High Court justices,” Ms McKee told Sky News Australia. Ms McKee said the second issue is that the Voice could 'gain veto power' over important government decisions. “So the Waitangi Tribunal has veto power over legislation in New Zealand, and the Maori – there are some reforms or laws that only they can suggest. “And the third issue is that if the Voice is implemented it would be impossible to repeal, defund or reform and that’s because once it’s implemented, it’s in our constitution.”

China is ‘not worried about Trump’ being re-elected as US PresidentCurtin University Political Analyst Joe Siracusa says China is “not worried” about Former US president Donald Trump being re-elected because of his realist approach to foreign affairs. “But Trump gave them some trouble economically – Trump was a little sticky with them about patents and things like that, but Trump is a realist,” he told Sky News Australia. “I’d like to say that the founding fathers, who were also realists, would have regarded Donald Trump as one of their own. 'Trump plays a balance of power – he tries to shift things around and I think they’d probably get along with him very well.”

People starting to ‘build an awareness’ to financial impact of renewable energySky News host Amanda Stoker has indicated people are “starting to build an awareness” around the financial impact of renewable energy. “People are starting to cotton on to the idea that the solution to the price problem isn’t more renewables,” Ms Stoker said. “They’re starting to build an awareness that in some ways too many renewables in the system to the exclusion of baseload power generation like nuclear … is part of the reason why we’re experiencing high prices.”
