We’re committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, so we’re putting some of our biggest investments under the microscope to find out what decarbonisation means for them. As one of the world's largest mining companies, BHP produces much of the iron ore, copper and nickel we’ll need as we decarbonise. What targets has BHP set itself to achieve net zero 2050? What progress is it making, and how is it going to get there? We speak with Fiona Wild, BHP’s Vice President of Sustainability and Climate Change, to get the lowdown.

In what’s widely tipped to be the last budget until the next election, Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison has announced a number of proposed changes to super.
With measures to protect low account balances and lost super (including making insurance within super ‘opt-in’ for some people), lower and flatter taxes over time, and a raft of policies focusing on an ageing population, we break down some of the announcements with our resident policy guru, Benedict Davies.

How many people know the nitty gritty of your finances? Our guess is not that many, right? Not surprising, since talking about money can be considered impolite, garish or simply ‘not the done thing’.
According to US research by the app Acorns, 68% of people would rather talk about their weight than their money. Why is that? And what can we do about it?
We spoke with Claire Tacon, a financial counsellor with the National Debt Helpline, on the changes to societal attitudes about money and what makes people talk—or keep quiet—about it.
