Amy Remeikis on Australia's critical minerals bargaining chip
Australia is positioning itself as a critical supplier of the minerals the world needs to build clean technology. But for now, China dominates the market, and its grip on supply chains gives it enormous leverage.

Today, contributing editor at The New Daily, Amy Remeikis, on the high-stakes contest for influence in our region, and how Australia’s broken climate promises are holding us back.
