Several days after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, pretty much everyone but the staunchest monarchist has had enough of the 24/7 media coverage. But we can't move on quite yet without discussing the green king. Yes, King Charles III is the first avid environmentalist to bear the title of Australia's official head of state. So does this mean great things for global action on issues like climate change, sustainability and biodiversity? Or is Charles going to retreat inside his green shell? Also this week, how a bunch of bushfire survivors totally changed the game for emissions reduction laws at a state government level. And is high-speed rail an expensive pipe dream or the answer to our transport woes? All that and plenty more on The Canary!
