I had mentioned that I was reviewing Chapter 13 of Jared Diamond’s not so new book ‘Collapse’.
There have been some offline requests for copies of the review which has now been published by British Journal Energy and Environment. The chapter can be downloaded from the IPA website at,

I recently also completed a paper for the AFFA inquiry to ‘secure a profitable and sustainable agriculture and food sector in Australia’. This long submission includes some detailed recommendations including the need to overhaul environmental regulation and legislation in Australia. It can be downloaded here,
