Takeaways

- Running a business in Australia can be challenging due to strict labor laws and strong unions.
- Western Australia implemented early border closures and limited lockdowns, resulting in a relatively low number of COVID cases and a stable economy.
- The debate and misinformation surrounding COVID and vaccines highlight the need for open and civil discussions.
- Vaccine safety and efficacy are important considerations, but public health measures often require a collective effort to protect vulnerable populations. The best technology doesn't always win; factors such as consumer willingness to buy and price point play a significant role.
- The future of green fuel in transport is uncertain, with hydrogen and electricity competing for dominance.
- Battery changing stations and recycling are potential solutions to the limitations of electric vehicle charging.
