Australia’s energy transition is happening whether the fossil fuel lobby likes it or not.
Half of the nation’s electricity now comes from renewables, yet the Murdoch press and coal-aligned politicians are flooding the airwaves with lies claiming fossil fuels are cheaper than clean energy. They’re not.

Michael West established Michael West Media in 2016 to focus on journalism of high public interest, particularly the rising power of corporations over democracy. West was formerly a journalist and editor with Fairfax newspapers, a columnist for News Corp and even, once, a stockbroker.
