QW: Coalition fuel reserves plan
This is a better plan than the previous Coalition proposal of overseas storage. However, will the proposed storage be located near current coastal metropolitan sites, or fresh infrastructure strategically placed near major inland agricultural centres?

QW: Howard’s Politics of Division
Whenever the Coalition comes under pressure, the same reflex returns: stir anxiety about borders, migration and who belongs here.
