Australia will find out on Friday morning whether or not it will be hosting the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup with New Zealand. Check out what you need to know about the bid ahead of the decision.

The bid team is banking on welcoming 1.5 million fans through the gates across those venues for an average of 24,000 spectators per game, making it the most well-supported women's World Cup in history.In relation to TV potential, FIFA said although "a relative fall in audiences could be experienced in Europe" its analysis of the time zones meant the games "would be expected to appeal quite strongly to the Asian markets".

This, being the southern hemisphere winter, would make playing conditions perfect across the two host countries.There is no clash with either the A-League or W-League, but the grass-roots state-based competitions will be running at the same time in both countries — considered a bonus for the bid team to drive engagement.

When it comes to potential clashes, the elephants in the room are the NRL and AFL competitions in Australia, and provincial rugby union competition in New Zealand. However, the bid team state they have "secured the support and commitment of other sports to collaborate on the delivery of the tournament" — which was not the case for the ill-fated 2022 bid.The 2023 Women's World Cup will feature 32 teams, up from the 24 that competed in France in 2019.There will be eight groups of four teams in the initial stages, split evenly between Australia and New Zealand.As with the men's tournament, the hosts would qualify automatically.

The breakdown of how many teams will be able to qualify from each confederation will be determined in due course.Australia received just one vote during a secret ballot back in 2010, and was knocked out in the first round.

Labor's new energy policy seeks to avoid stating an emission target | Sky News AustraliaOpposition Leader Anthony Albanese’s attempt to negotiate a bipartisan agreement on climate policy hides a plan to bypass debate and avoids stating an emissions reduction target at the next election, Liberal MP Craig Kelly says. \n\nMr Kelly said “Anthony Albanese doesn’t want to say what Labor’s target will be; so what he has very cunningly done is say, 'we’ll agree to some mechanism that the target will be scalable'”. \n\nThe opposition leader also maintained “the cheapest form of energy in this country is renewables; it’s solar and wind'. \n\nMr Kelly said the claim was “completely false”. \n\n“Why would countries like China be building hundreds of coal powered fire stations if the panels they make are a cheaper form of electricity?” Mr Kelly asked Sky News host Andrew Bolt.\n\n\n FatherBob AlboMP CraigKellyMP Oh FFS! Really? Craig Kelly? AlboMP CraigKellyMP Or is it about jobs because getting caught up in fighting means businesses won't invest until a clear policy is announced. Kelly can't accept working with Labor might actually be in the national interest because of ideology. FatherBob AlboMP CraigKellyMP How odd that the intellectual desert CraigKellyMP is against any effort at bipartisanship in developing an energy policy. Sorry Craig, you are a handbrake on this country achieving any success.
