  • Jim Molan Biography
    Jim Molan Biography Retiring from the Australian Army in July 2008 after 40 years, Jim Molan served across a broad range of command and staff appointments in operations, training, staff and military diplomacy. Jim has been an infantryman, an Indonesian speaker, a helicopter pilot, commander of army units from a thirty man platoon to a division of 15,000 soldiers, commander of the Australian Defence Colleges and commander of the evacuation force from the Solomon Islands in 2000. He has served in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, East Timor, Malaysia, Germany, the US and Iraq. In April 2004, Major General Molan deployed for a year to Iraq as the Coalition’s chief of operations, during a period of continuous and intense combat. On behalf of the US commanding general, he controlled the manoeuvre operations of all forces across all of Iraq, including the security of Iraq’s oil, electricity and rail infrastructure. This period covered the Iraqi elections in January 2005, and the pre-election shaping battles of Najaf, TalAfar, Samarra, Fallujah, and Ramadan 04. Described in the recently (2017) declassified ‘unofficial history’ of ‘Australia’s Participation in the Iraq War’ as “… the ADF member most directly involved in fighting the insurgents”, Major General Molan was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by the Australian Government for “distinguished command and leadership in action in Iraq”, and the Legion of Merit by the United States Government. Before retiring he was the Adviser to the Vice Chief of the Defence Force on Joint Warfighting and the first Defence Materiel Advocate, promoting Australian defence industry overseas.

  • H&A Eye for An
    Hachette Australia partners with Channel Seven to create two Home and Away novels. PUBLISHER Hachette Australia is thrilled to announce they are working with the Seven Network to publish two Home and Away novels. The launch publication is a Home and Away and Australian first: an ebook published as part of a special TV event. The first book ties into the special TV event, Home and Away: An Eye for An Eye, which launched on Presto on December 9, immediately following the season finale of the regular series on Seven. The Home and Away: An Eye for An Eye TV event is exclusive to Presto and centres on the Braxton family, seeing the return of two much-loved characters, Heath (Dan Ewing) and Bianca (Lisa Gormley) to Summer Bay. Home and Away: An Eye for An Eye, the novel, releases exclusively in ebook in Australia on 16 December with a paperback edition earmarked for 2016. The second – as yet untitled – novel will also be released in 2016. There is already interest in both novels from UK publishers given the UK is Home and Away’s strongest market outside of Australia and New Zealand. Hachette Australia’s Fiction Publisher Rebecca Saunders said the manuscript was under lock and key because it contained explosive material and exclusive scenes that will not be shown on television. Saunders said the books aimed to take readers further into the hearts and minds of the much-loved bad-boy Braxton family. “Home and Away has the country’s most devoted and passionate fans and Home and Away: An Eye for An Eye has been created and produced just for them by Seven Productions.

  • Mps in Drive for Nuclear Energy - the Australian, 2/18/2021
    18/02/2021 MPs in drive for nuclear energy - The Australian, 2/18/2021 MPs in drive for nuclear energy EXCLUSIVE GREG BROWN COALITION’S CLIMATE PUSH Nationals senators have drafted legislation allowing the Clean Energy Finance Corporation to invest in nuclear power as twothirds of Coalition MPs backed lifting the ban on the controversial fuel source to help shift the nation to a carbon- neutral future. The block of five Nationals senators, led by Bridget McKenzie and Matt Canavan, will move an amendment to legislation establishing a $1bn arm at the green bank to allow it to invest in nuclear generators, high-energy, low-emissions (HELE), coal- fired power stations and carbon capture and storage technology. The Nationals’ move comes as a survey of 71 Coalition backbenchers conducted by The Australian revealed that 48 were in favour of lifting the longstanding prohibition on nuclear power in the EPBC act. Liberal MPs Andrew Laming, John Alexander and Gerard Rennick are among backbenchers who want Scott Morrison to take a repeal of the nuclear ban to the upcoming election — a move that would open a new divide with Labor as the nation sets a course for a low-emissions future. “I’m very keen to see the prohibition lifted,” Mr Laming said. “It is something that has to be taken to an election so Australians realise there is a significant change in energy policy.” Mr Alexander said it was like “trying to fight Muhammad Ali with one arm tied behind your back if you are going to ignore nuclear energy”. “This is a new era; let’s be right at the cutting edge,” Mr Alexander said.
